I was listening in to (or presenting) briefs to the General, and listening in to some of the decisions made; next day I would read stuff in the broad sheets about those same operations that was just rubbish and clearly not based on facts. I concluded that either the papers were guessing, making it up or deliberately being fed false info (or all 3). No point in reading the papers for factual info or analysis therefore.

Andy, are you saying that someone at UK Permanent Joint HQ was deliberately giving the press/media false information? If yes - why?

Not necessarily at PJHQ.

But generally, I just believe that the media make things up.

Beer, in your area you have a huge choice! No curry with all the migrants around? Surprising to say the least because our poor country hosts more kebabs than McDos or KFC's!
