CDS Vs Hoon

You may enjoy this;
Today's joint news conference with Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Sir Michael Boyce and Defence secretary Geoff Hoon was 'interesting'. CDS openly speaking of overstretch, cancelled leave, low morale, extremely concerned, etc etc. Standing next to him was an incredulous and alarmed Hoon who developed a most bizarre stance - arched back, wide-eyes, slight grimace, almost as if he was having something large inserted into 'an orifice'. Hoon then went on to desperately spin the previous comments into some sort of govt approved version with CDS looking on, and looking slightly smug if I'm not mistaken. De-mob happy perhaps?
