Really? I thought fighter pilots only had to be able to differentiate between black and white?Liveinadive wrote:He would have cried more than when he found out he couldn't be a fighter pilot because of his colour blindness.
A politician that says anything real immediately alienates half the population and potentially causes a problem for their party when they want to announce a new initiative. On top of that, the longer they can go on for, the less time they leave for an interviewer to ask a difficult question. Now we've ended up in a situation where being able to talk for ages without saying anything at all is one of the most valuable skills in fronline politics.superflyninja wrote:Varadker.

These tricks may have served them well for years but I think they're past their sell by date now. Nobody you meet in real life talks like a politician and that makes them incredible untrustworthy.superflyninja wrote:Varadker.
