I hadn't picked up until this morning that, when accused of electioneering, Johnson had claimed "The press aren't here" when the TV cameras were actually on him.<br /><br />Re the "crazy things in our youth," I wouldn't classify Trudeau's fancy dress capers as "crazy." Until at least the mid-60s (the period when I might claim to have been a youth) one of the most popular entertainments in the UK was "The Black and White Minstrel Show". The music master at the first school at which I aught was in it. We all admired him. Now we know better.

I don't care what his motives were for being on the right side; what matters is that he helped get the right result. He might well have been doing it for personal advantage rather than out of true belief; who cares? Did we turn down Stalin's help against Hitler because his motives weren't pure? <br /><br />Similarly I don't care what his motives are for getting us out of the EU by the beginning of November, as long as he does get us out. <br /><br />The Trudeau thing is just funny because of the hypocrasy. Boris has never claimed to be anything other than a disgusting sexually-incontinent libertine. Trudeau loved to make out he was woker than woke, so to see him have to backpedal furiously is hilarious. <br /><br />Oh, and: <br /><br /><i>The latest concrete example is that, a few days before he engineered the prorogation of parliament, he claimed that such an action was not even being considered, and then a paper was released which revealed that he had signed off on the idea two weeks earlier;</i><br /><br />What he claimed wasn't being considered was proroguing Parliament over the 31st of October. What he had signed off on was a prorogation which ended on the 14th of October. So he carefully picked his words to give a misleading impression without actually technically lying. And that's just what politicians are paid to do, isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732407426313451205.post-34392083321324032602019-09-20T13:12:31.606+01:002019-09-20T13:12:31.606+01:00You forgot the NHS bit where he said that the pres...You forgot the NHS bit where he said that the press was not their.<br />Yes Trudeau was not a politician when he was young. We do crazy things when young and do not consider what will happen 20yrs in the future. dragging muck up from the past seems to be more important than solving todays problemsnigel hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365383918453700768noreply@blogger.com
