"It's important we learn the lessons..."
How come a this is a politician's stock answer to any major cock up? The phrase just means nothing any more, they just trot it out to make it sound like they are doing something proactive after another tragedy caused by missed opportunities and gross incompetence.

Here's a lesson for you: If you are doing your job properly you won't fuck things up in the first place and then you won't have to go on TV trying to awkwardly explain it all away with trite comments like this. This has been proven by scientists with graphs and 9/10 cats preferred it.

On very rare occasions
they say "Yes, we did cock up, but this is how we'll fix it" or words to that effect.

It makes me perk up and pay attention and feels so refreshing to hear something that isn't a load of bollocks
