robomatic BS: Brexit & other UK political topics (4361* d) RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics 14 Apr 22

The problem with lies is that everyone does it. And defining lies, when you hold up a fine grain analyzer, becomes a matter of interpretation and opinion. Not unlike the famous quote about pornography by U.S. Supreme Potter Stewart in 1964: "I know it when I see it."

I think one of the things that makes us hold some folks in public positions in contempt is the quality of their lies. For us Americans there has been a famous distinction between the supporters and the opponents of the ex-President Trmp. This is a man who seems to know no limits and be unconcerned with supporting evidence. Not long after his election came the absurd but defensible saying that his enemies took him literally but not seriously, and his supporters took him seriously but not literally.

YMMV
