Defends the mechanisms and lies in the process of defending such mechanisms. Oppositions call out lies, lying party play faux umbrage and lie some more. Yet all politicians are liars. There are some really good politicians. Some very good speakers. Some very detailed legal minds. Some MPs who care deeply about certain issues and especially in their constituency. Even the "best" politician can't possibly have a grasp on every single issue, be a legal expert, an outstanding orator, have a forensic mind, be an economic genius and have compassion for every part of society. Yet the media and opponents zero in on the tiniest weakness, magnify it and then peddle it with soundbites galore til it sticks. This is England.
