Pass Notes in the Guardian is just a filler, no reporting but if you feel that the British soldier needs to 'anally insert a sub' then this one does have the name of a reporter:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-soldiers.html“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -

Troops warned eating at Greggs makes them 'look unprofessional'
However, there is no real need for them to go to Greggs (which are disgusting anyway) as they may well be powered by Greggs:

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostIt doesn't show their dismay at all in that story and the Guardian isn't sneering, it's just taking the piss out of the army for making these rules. BTW, the Fail one is practically word for word the same as the Telegraph story from 2 days ago and the Sunday Fail, same journalist as the Daily Fail goes a little bit further:

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostNah. That was a mod delete of a drunken gammon rant.
The time had been, when this burst of enthusiasm would have been cheered to the very echo; but now, the deputation received it with chilling coldness. The general impression seemed to be, that as an explanation of Mr. Gregsbury’s political conduct, it did not enter quite enough into detail; and one gentleman in the rear did not scruple to remark aloud, that, for his purpose, it savoured rather too much of a 'gammon' tendency.
"The meaning of that term—gammon,' said Mr. Gregsbury, 'is unknown to me. If it means that I grow a little too fervid, or perhaps even hyperbolical, in extolling my native land, I admit the full justice of the remark. I am proud of this free and happy country. My form dilates, my eye glistens, my breast heaves, my heart swells, my bosom burns, when I call to mind her greatness and her glory.'
