I imagine that was a sort of myth put about, perhaps with loads of irony, to find some merit in the man.
It has gone into the language as a phrase that damns with faint praise - perhaps Bojo being able to talk Russian will become similar "Well, he went to Ukraine and talked to Zelensky in Russianā¦ "

I really hate to be that person, especially with Dorries who seems like an absolutely vile individual by all accounts, but I honestly wouldnāt be surprised if it turned out there were some medical reasons that sheās like she is. On the Aspergerās spectrum, developmentallyā¦ different or whatever itās called these days, some sort of brain injury either recently or at birth, thereās just something very off about her and the way she conducts herself and while it could be that sheās trying to rival Gove in the substance stakes, or is just covering the fact that she knows very well sheās way over her head by just being generally an overconfident idiot in an attempt to hide it, but I certainly think itās possible that thereās more to it than her just being thick and having an odious personality. She did claim that bizarre social media video where she rambled incoherently about downstreaming movies and playing on tennis pitches was due to her dyslexia, whether thereās any truth to it who knows, but if so it could just be one of multipleā¦ issues.
No, she is just an idiot - plain and simple.

well, the woman is a huge liabilityā¦ she told the Select Committee that over 90% of responders questioned about privatising Channel 4 were in agreement with itā¦ the facts were checked and it was over 90% who were not in favour of it

Oh, I agree completely, that wasnāt intended to be a defence of her in any way, I just canāt quite believe that someone is quite that horrendous in so many ways without there being more going on, but perhaps thatās just wishful thinking!
