We've all done it, right?

I've been there. You've been there. Maybe not in every case, but we know what it's like. You tell your Dad that you've nearly finished tidying your room. You tell your Mum that you cleaned your teeth. You tell your teacher that you did your homework, you just forgot it. You tell your University lecturer that your draft essay is nearly ready. You tell your boss that you've really got a grip on this project and all you need to do now is write it up.

And then you manage it or you don't. But you don't bloody do it with the future of the country. And you don't keep it up when you've been caught, at least when you're over five.

We should probably also allow a bit for Murdoch and his vile rags feeding people so many lies they end up thinking the upper-class tossers deserve to be in charge and creating a world where spin is more important than facts.
