Shows the government to be wrong again??

Its the Foreign Office. It is part of government but is run on a day to day basis by civil servants.

And having read that article it seem to be a complicated issue and not as straight forward as you make out.

It appears tp be a top civil servant directly contradicting the line that the government has taken the same civil servant that did the same on another matter then forced to retract a couple of days ago, quite happy for you to explain any detail I may have missed SM.

There's something rotton in the state of Denmark?

''Top civil servant forced to clarify remarks for second time in a week

Sir Simon McDonald revises oral evidence he gave to MPs on Tuesday on Ann Sacoolas case''

Something doesn't make sense here, a top civil servant, you would be hard pressed to find someone with his experience and yet twice within a week he makes a call opposing the government's official line and twice he has had to retract it. He wouldn't have made that many 'mistakes' in the whole of his career as I would presume if he had he wouldn't have risen to this level.

What's going on?
