Personal favourite quote was from the Inquiry into the SAS shootings of IRA Terrorists on Gibraltar in the late 80s.
Lawyer to SAS Man: "Why did you shoot the suspect 32 times?
SAS Man: " I ran out of bullets..."
Glorious.
...err not exactly! In true Private Eye pedantry I have to refer you to Eyes
passim, in this case Eye 698 where similar stuff was
on the cover!
Hardly a quote from a lawyer reprinted on the front page as it would surely have been considered
sub judice at the time? I don't know though, being an urban legend spotter rather than a lawyer.
So. Shome mishtake surely?
Yours boringly
