Re: HMS Queen Elizabeth captain removed from post 'over car misuse'

I hear that his only "crime" is that he keeps pressing the wrong buttons.

Can't see why that would be a problem?

It really would be if the buttons connected to the bow and stern thrusters.

Re: HMS Queen Elizabeth captain removed from post 'over car misuse'

According to the Daily T, this morning, he has not been reassigned (yet) and is sailing the vessel home from Scotland, any time soon.

It has further been pointed out that he, actually, has always paid for any personal fuel he has used.

Haven't yet seen anything, anywhere, suggesting what actually went on and what caused them to want to deselect him.

Must be some red faces, somewhere!

Most likely some ex admirals progeny fancied the job Teddy
All seems a bit fishy to me?

I read they were investigating him for something else and couldn’t find anything. This came to light whilst he was being investigated, so they did him for this instead.
So yes, l think they did want him out.

Latest news, today, is that the car was being used on the school run.

That is really a major crime and he should be sacked pronto!

Maybe refused to give that valuable vessel to the new EU military?

Later:- Stories emerging (leaking) about very high levels of mileage & "School Runs". (Daily T today)
