@david_chisnall @tante I remember years ago being on the Tube in London, and the it stopped, and the recommendation was "Please use other means to get to your destination". Which I felt was rather like saying "We cannot do our job, please find someone who can do our job of getting you there"

It feels a little like this.

@davep Language is sometimes so bonkers.

@Remittancegirl So the police found someone who was posing as an interpreter, but who wasn't.

The police themselves made a mistake. They should take responsibility for this.

@MikeElgan Adding this up - that is something like a trillion dollars wasted on producing crap. And it will cost another trillion to to undo all the damage.

Just what a waste. When there is so much better things that could be done with all that money.

@MMGirlfriend You will have a lot of new friends.
