Grackle 6 years ago Reply to Bruce The subject-verb issue here is actually just British English. There’s no similar excuse for the rest of the cover. (Though I do have to admit I kind of love the very terse tombstone.) dtw 6 years ago Reply to Grackle Ehhh… don’t blame us. If it were solely down to local English variety, then it would also say “Were the UK government involved” too – government is just as much a collective noun as unit is. I’d much prefer “A rogue MI5 unit is again running amok…” Grackle 6 years ago Reply to dtw Good point and thank you for the clarification!
