There is no subtle message there. None at all, it is all there in black and white for the ones willing to read it properly and take full notice of it.

But I also wonder as to why he has appointed someone for advising him what to do in regard to the SoA lobbed in by MQG. Those appointment are not things made FRIVOLOUSLY.

So ..................... watch this space.


In closing, thanks for the short bait my friend, but read below. And coming from someone where English is only a second language, I think it is not too bad either.:

""The correct spelling is actually bated breath but it’s so common these days to see it written as baited breath that there’s every chance that it will soon become the usual form, to the disgust of conservative speakers and the confusion of dictionary writers. Examples in newspapers and magazines are legion; this one appeared in the Daily Mirror on 12 April 2003: “She hasn’t responded yet but Michael is waiting with baited breath”.
It’s easy to mock, but there’s a real problem here. Bated and baited sound the same and we no longer use bated (let alone the verb to bate), outside this one set phrase, which has become an idiom. Confusion is almost inevitable. Bated here is a contraction of abated through loss of the unstressed first vowel (a process called aphesis); it means “reduced, lessened, lowered in force”. So bated breath refers to a state in which you almost stop breathing as a result of some strong emotion, such as terror or awe.""

The kindest of regards to you et all.
