LOCALS ASKED TO CHECK GARDEN SHEDS AND OUTBUILDINGS IN SEARCH FOR BRITISH DIPLOMAT

A British diplomat may be hiding in your garden shed.
Britain has fallen a long way since the days when its diplomats were the terror of the World, able to bring distant kings and sultans to their knees with the threat of British gunboats and English governesses. 

In those days the diplomatic corps was staffed by iron men with ice in their veins who felt at home in the most dangerous situations.

Fast forward to 2020 and we now have pathetic creatures like this representing us on the international stage, as reported by the BBC:

A police search is under way for a missing British diplomat and former ambassador.

Richard Morris, 52, was last seen by his family when he went for a run in Bentley, near Alton, Hampshire, at about 10:30 BST on Wednesday.

He was ambassador to Nepal from November 2015 to November 2019.

In October, Mr Morris was appointed the new British High Commissioner to the Republic of Fiji and is due to take up his new position in July.

Mr Morris was in his running clothes when he went missing on Wednesday...

He was last seen wearing a blue long-sleeved top with a half zip, black shorts and blue trainers.

"We are now asking residents in the surrounding areas if they could assist by checking sheds, outbuildings and gardens," the force said...

"We again appeal for information and ask residents to check their outbuildings for any signs that someone might have been sheltering there or for discarded items," police said.

Yes, members of the British public are actually being asked to search outbuildings in their gardens in case a British ambassador has set up home in one of them. WTF!? 

Is this the standard of British diplomats these days, the equivalent to a lost cat that has gone senile? Really, what would Palmerston say!?
