Easy to trip up any interviewee. Just ask a question so specific that only the current incumbent has the information to answer.

Simple innit?

Ditto the ones who don't see through that technique....Simple!!

Richard, I don't have the big car because it's fast. I have it because it is powerful enough to tow without costing too much extra in fuel (a very significant amount, for one who can only dream of the kind of income lawyers enjoy, and please don't insult my intelligence by claiming that you have a clue what it's like trying to live on a pension blighted by the fact that your friend Gordon stole five billion pounds from our pension funds).

The only way that speed comes into the equation is that I can travel up and down hill at a sufficiently high and consistent rate, not to become a rolling roadblock on hills (handy if Jeremy Clarkson happens to be behind me)



""So, shall we discourage high particulate emissions, or not? Really tough question that (not).""

I would suggest that my 13 year old fuel injected Ford is most likely a lot lower in particulate emissions than a 20 yearold Volvo.

THAT is why your car will pass its MOT on higher emissions than mine. It's built in to the test (Incidentally, my garage told me the last two MOTs my car was emitting in line with the limits for a six year old of comparable cubic capacity).


""Look at the fact that his Australian hitman campaign manager has clearly ordered Johnson to keep his trap shut since when he opens it it's only to put his stinking rich foot in it.""


It's the money that REALLY bugs you isn't it mate?? And the fact that HE's got it!!




""the shafting that that bitch Thatcher and her vegetables gave every worker and claimant in the country.""

I refer you again to my comment re the five billion pounds wiped off pensions by Herr Chancellor Braun, of....Let me see now....AH! YES, NEW LABOUR!!!!


Scratch a "socialist" politician in this country, and you will find a capitalist who is good at hiding what he and his buddies have nicked from the working man.


There are just a few who don't (or didn't) fit that last comment, and it's only fair to say so.

They are (or were):- Tony Benn, Neil Kinnock, John Smith, and the aforementioned Bob Marshall-Andrews.

By the same token, the most villainous, and corrupt of all time were Harold Wilson, and Jim Callaghan.

We're still finding out JUST how crooked the current lot are, but I was interested to hear that one of them is so poor the taxpayer pays his TV licence. Even single mums don't get that.
