" You may be amused to read this from a friend of mine who's working for the BBC in Iraq.
His producer witnessed the following exchange between the Prime Minister, who made a morale-boosting visit to our troops, and the CO of one of the units.
PM coming through the door: "Hello, everyone, will you be here for Christmas?"
CO: "Yes, Prime Minister."
PM: "That'll be fun."
CO: "No, Prime Minister, it'll be ****."
Apparently you could've heard a pin drop as a room full of soldiers glumly looked upon the PM shaking their heads.
