Ben Aaronovitch Quote

The police never saw a noun they didn't want to turn into a verb, so it quickly became to action, as in you action me to undertake a Falcon assessment, I action a Falcon assessment, a Falcon assessment has been actioned and we all action in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine. This, to review a major inqurity is to review the list of actions and their consequences, in the hope that you'll spot something that thirty-odd highly trained and experienced detectives didn't.
