Anybody else see the London ITV news at 6.30 last night? Another "expert" one Wg Cdr Andrew Brooks of the Institute of Strategic something-or-other was commenting on a question regarding the "blue-on-blue" casualties. He drew an analogy between ballroom dancers whereby if the partners don't practice to gether and go straight into a final then there are bound to be a few kicked shins!!(sic) After some more trite ****e he concluded with something along the lines of "Torville & Dean had to practice & practice before giving the winning performance on the ice."
Am I alone in thinking it is possibly AB who is skating on thin ice with the sensitivities of all those (inc families/loved ones) involved in this conflict?
