.... which has become quite common these days, being spouted by all sorts of (usually negligent or poorly-performing) folk:-

"Lessons will be learnt"

They never are of course, but it puts a positive spin on a bad event.

Any other horrible modern expressions you can think of ?

Meanwhile I'm off to watch MOTD (where no doubt it will be aired plentifully)

I don't like saying 'I' in case people think I'm a Narcissist.

// "We are focused on the outcomes, the most important thing is to make sure families get the answers they need and that it's possible to learn the lessons, that it's done transparently and that it happens as quickly as possible," the prime minister's official spokesman tells reporters.
"And that's crucial. And obviously, we will have an inquiry on the right footing to achieve that." //
