MANY POLITICIANS can’t open their mouth without putting their feet in it. Here are just a few of my favourite examples of political bollocks.
“A day like today is not a day for soundbites… but I feel the hand of history upon our shoulder with respect to this, I really do.”
Tony Blair
“You know, the Russians have no word for detente. I find that very interesting.”
Margaret Thatcher
“This country has had enough of experts.”
Michael Gove
“The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation’s history. I mean in this century’s history. But we all lived in this century. I didn’t live in this century.”
Dan Quayle
“Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?”
George W. Bush
