Sir John Sawers, a former head of MI6, criticises the two Tory leadership contenders and says the UK is going through a political nervous breakdown. 'The UK could end up with a prime minister who does "not have the standing that we have become used to in our top leadership",' he says. Oh, and Jeremy Corbyn isn't much better, either physically or mentally. UK Having Political Nervous BreakdownMethinks it's high time we had a military coup to sort this lot out.

Methinks civil servants should do their (very well rewarded) jobs, collect their obligatory gongs for merely doing their jobs, and stay out of politics. If they want to criticize politicians rather than serve them, they should stand for election themselves.

No, no military coup. That sort of unrest would be, at the moment, worse than what we have.

I for one fully support tangent, and you others are very unwise to criticise him at this point.
I mean clearly he has a plan and will soon be installed as military dictator. Best to stay on his good side.

I still have World Domination as back up plan, should my current career not work out. I don't mind putting that plan into action? Sounds like the UK is a good starting point now.
