Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader suspects a great many of his minions have not been paying attention to the ongoing dispute across the pond concerning the consolidation of various Scottish Regiments in the British Army.

To bring you all up to speed, allow your Maximum Leader to summarize. As a cost savings measure, the British Ministry of Defence has proposed merging together various (historic) Scottish Regiments. For example, one proposal called for the Kings Own Scots Borderers to be merged into the Royal Scots Regiment. Your Maximum Leader forgets which regiment was going to be merged into the Black Watch Regiment. And your Maximum Leader’s favourite, the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders were going to be subsumed by some other highland regiment.

This got the Scots knickers in a knot. Well… They would have had their knickers in a knot if the Scots (at least the men) wore knickers…

Anyway… It seems as though the Labour Government is backng down at the moment. This makes your Maximum Leader happy.

Carry on.
