They say that common sense and comedy are two sides of the same thing running at different speeds.
What worries me (as a mere civvie) is that so much of the banter on this site amply demonstrates that service tribalism has often replaced common sense in the equation.
Which means that the banter is no longer funny and rather generates a certain sadness.
Aren't you all supposed to be in this together against the enemies of our Sovereign Queen?
Like alfred_the_great, I call the O/P as a wah.
