After the governments rapid U-turn which placed a ban on our forces personnel from selling their stories to the media, it was less than surprising to find that Ministers were yesterday playing ‘blame tennis’ over who was responsible for the original decision. No-one would come forward to comment to the media and press officers were allegedly either refusing, or unable, to answer questions directly.
What should be remembered is that the team playing for Number Ten are past champions at ‘spinning’ the ball and directing it to any part of the court they decide.
My bet is it will land at the feet of the MoD
Any takers?
