If wonder if Casework are working on the QR1027 for him yet. He could stare at himself in the mirror and give himself a little chat. Then conclude by posting himself to the worst job in the Royal Air Force with no hope of ever flying again in the hope that he might PVR. For that is what he personally did to a peer for a lessor though not entirely disimilar offence, and 'good faith' and 'misconstrued by others' was: 'no excuse'.
His comments may have been embellished by the media, but that is their job; it is called 'spin' when used in political circles, and being a senior officer is very political nowadays. ...unless your Burmese.
