Over the past week every source of news, in the UK at least, has been banging on and shouting from the roof tops about how the government has been apparently appearing to not act fast enough over getting our citizens out of Lybia.
Well today they should all be eating their own words as it turns out that the SAS secretly flew in weapons to the embassy in Lybia within days of the start of trouble, they then set out entering the country posing as business men. They then picked up the weapons from the embassy and set about rounding up the British citizens ready to fly out.
Yesterday the completed their mission and flew them out.
Yet after this amazing act by the troops, it got a very small mention in the papers and I have barely seen any mention in the TV news.
I know this isn't really a common sense or pc story but I thought it worth a mention to point out how the news not only avoids none dramatic stories but also won't report on a story that makes them look to be previously wrong, if they do there is no mention or previous stories.
I would like to take this opportunity to take back my previous tweet about lack of action.

there are still around 100 germans in libya
