A Sky News classic
Saw this quote from Sky News on the forums at urban75 and thought it was too good not to mention:
“Umm Qasr is a city similar to Southampton,” UK defence minister Geoff Hoon said in The Commons yesterday.
“He’s either never been to Southampton, or he’s never been to Umm Qasr” says a British Squaddie patrolling Umm Qasr.
Another soldier added: “There’s no beer, no prostitutes and people are shooting at us. It’s more like Portsmouth.”
