A member of the public recently discovered one of the new Ministry of Defence (MoD) 'hot desks' in a bus shelter in Kent. 

Unfortunately, whomever had been hot desking at the bus stop left a bunch of classified and secret (For UK Eyes Only) papers behind the bus shelter, providing interesting reading for those waiting for the 116/170 bus to Chatham Dockyard.

Some of these papers had apparently been used to 'roll a doobie' before being peed on by a homeless person.

According to the UK's Guardian newspaper (Sun 27 Jun 2021 09.40 BST):

The documents confirm that a mission – described by the MoD as an “innocent passage through Ukrainian territorial waters” – with guns covered and the ship’s helicopter stowed in its hangar, was conducted in the expectation that the Kremlin might respond aggressively.

This is just as FNN previously reported but without access to these confidential papers! Truth is truly stranger than any fake news we can come up with...

So while HMS Defender was saber-rattling in the Crimea, its own mission documents were being scrutinized by the public. FNN applauds this new level of military transparency displayed by the MoD. Looks like Wikileaks has a competitor ... the MoD itself!

A spokesperson for the MoD told FNN:

Due to the pandemic and budget cuts we have had to require all of our employees to 'hot desk' anywhere they can in order to conduct the highest levels of UK military affairs.

Sometimes this can result in sensitive papers being left in taxi cabs, restaurants, public toilets and at bus stops.

However, we blame this latest incident on the Russians as two former FSB Colonels (yes, the ones from Salisbury) were spotted on CCTV at a fish and chip shop nearby tucking into haddock and chips while discussing a bunch of papers they got from a briefcase.

Clearly, the FSB forged these documents and left them for public discovery at the bus stop in order to embarrass the British Government.

Is there nothing these devious Russians won't try in order to undermine NATO support for the Ukraine?
