British subtlity at its best!

(from Malaysian Insider).....The palace will surely be running an enquiry into the shockingly embarrassing faux pas on the part of the Queen when she met the Prime Minister Najib yesterday. How could her majesty have been allowed to make such an appalling blunder? There could not be a more glaringly bright garment in the royal wardrobe. Brilliant daffodil yellow! From head to toe! If her majesty had worn this on the streets of KL the previous week, she would have been arrested! No question about it!
Was it is a genuine faux pas or is it a classic case of pacifying a child after pinching its butt? Not that the British are not known for their subtleties! I remember be told whilst preparing for the English professional examinations, not to be too confident that that oral examination and viva voce went on too well. The examiners who were just too nice could have failed you too miserably or have written a nasty remarks on your score chit after all that niceties! How do you think they managed to rule over so many advanced civilizations for so many generation? With brute force?
