In those circumstances, I suspect the posters would say something on the lines of:

'DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR @R5E ON THE WAY OUT, GEOFF'

I've not read all of the report yet, but Lord Hutton does appear to have made some very generous interpretations of the evidence presented before him (particularly the 'naming policy' incidents).

It's barely worth noting that in the past, the criticism levelled against the MoD would have been enough to guarantee that the minister offered his resignation.
