Lies, lies, obfuscation and lies

I don't know about your mum but mine always told me not to tell lies. Lies are a bad thing and reflect poorly on your whole persona. Tell a little lie and you end up telling an escalating portfolio of untruths to just cover the first tiny indiscretion. If you start off with a whopper you end up with lies on a biblical scale pretty sharpish.

Mike Williams is in this camp already. How can he stand there in the face of recorded evidence and claim he never said what he said? He is just plain lying. What a pity Guyon Espinor waited eight hours before playing the tape and didn't drop it on Williams live. How he can continue in his current role as titular head of a major political party is beyond me. However it is not beyond Dear Leader and as far as he is concerned that is all that matters. She has told him to STFU and leave the politics to the big boys (sic) wot understand this sort of thing. She stands up on her hind legs and placates us, the great unwashed, by telling us poor Mike was confused, couldn't hear properly and other assorted bullshit. It is just not good enough. Similar cock ups by lesser beings, even in this administration, have seen them walking the plank but Dear Leader needs Williams for her nefarious election strategies so she stands up and lies for him. She, as leader of the People's Republic, can say what she bloody well likes of course and the proles will hang on her every word.

The suggestion that the Labour Party use government funded brochures to circumvent their own Electoral Finance Act was being played as though it were the suggestion of junior and naive party apparatchik have also been blown out of the water. The suggestion from the floor that Williams didn't hear and had him greatly confused came from Ruth Dyson's husband. I wasn't aware that Cabinet Ministers were allowed old fashioned husbands and had to have them converted into civil union partners but no matter. SWMBO just laughs this off.

The standards of behaviour of the whole lot of them is just unbelievable. However it is looking more and more likely by the day that they will reap that which they sow later in the year.

Please.
