QuoteTory MP Philip Davies said: "The MoD is supposed to be about defending the country. What on earth this has to do with that God only knows."
An utterly stupid response, but unlikely to have actually been said.
It's a sad reality that the SUN seems to have taken up the mantle, abandoned by the NoTW. Or perhaps just pursued it even more. British journalists are certainly not ready yet to adopt the integrity and manners of the rest of society.
On a brighter note, the SUN has been inventing outrageous stories like this for many years. To their credit, they rarely embark upon any self-righteous campaigns, even though they have been responsible for some particular nasty deaths in recent years.
I'm sorry to say to Jane Fae, that her approach in her rebuff will almost certainly achieve nothing. For a start, there is a rhetorical principal, which has become largely established by the wealthy, and well off, in recent years, that to make comparative criticisms simply leads to a response of jealously.
Appreciate it's a bit silly, but we can justify criticising people, using poverty, lack of education, mental disability, political stance, even nationality. But we can't cite people being well off.
