"On manoeuvres" is especially terrible because it does violence to the meaning of the words. Someone who is on manoeuvres is training in the field, in the Brecon Beacons or the Cheviots, far from the capital city. You can't do a coup in Brecon. You need to be in London. 4/5

what's the evidence that "public trust" was involved in any way? If it were, wouldn't the public be aware of it? Wouldn't the public do something to demonstrate this lack of trust?
