The government's words:
"utilising our Armed Forces for non-emergency, routine tasks where the military do not play a specific and defined role should be seen as an indication of policy failure, inadequate resilience planning or chronic underinvestment."

ALT The military will remain an ultimate guarantor of national security and resilience in emergencies, however, utilising our Armed Forces for non-emergency, routine tasks where the military do not play a specific and defined role should be seen as an indication of policy failure, inadequate resilience planning or chronic underinvestment. There will be a shift to deliver some MACA through locally-based Reserves and the UK Government will retain existing MACA thresholds and encourage adherence to them.

Apparently I've been on twitter since 2008. I'm moderately surprised that it's been that long.
I think I saw this new service getting somewhat popular as a way of telling people what you had for lunch, and just wanted the @mobbsy username before somebody else took it.

Music for the local fireworks opened with Rule Brittania then seamlessly moved on to the Crazy Frog version of Axel F.
