@keithzg@fediverse.keithzg.ca @smitten_@key.portend.place @croissant@zeroes.ca Sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. In stage one we say nothing is going to happen. Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it. Sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we *can* do. Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.
