VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Matt Westwood|DATE|1359287632|CONTENT|Could he have but just a little bit more of a patronising tone to his voice, please? The listeners of the Today program need to know beyond a shadow of a doubt when they&#039;re being talked down to.

Actually, when this spiel started, I wondered whether there was just a teensy bit of mocking in Martlew&#039;s voice, borne from the point of view of: &quot;He&#039;s not a *real* soldier like me and my fellow sky-pilots, he&#039;s just been metaphorically parachuted in &#039;cos he&#039;s Liz Windsor&#039;s grandson&quot;, but I&#039;m pretty sure I was imagining that, because there&#039;s no way anyone could think thus.

As for me, I&#039;d rather you told me the ugly, painful truth than tried to reassure me with gentle, comfortable lies.|EMAIL|prime.mover@proofwiki.org|IP-ADDRESS|176.27.245.30|MODERATIONFLAG|
