Mandelson accepts tycoon claims
Lord Mandelson confirms in a letter to the Times that he met Oleg Deripaska earlier than previously acknowledged.
Now why can't our objective national broadcaster summon up the cojones, or even journalistic/editorial integrity to suggest, in print, that 'accepting a claim' that had not been 'previously acknowledged' 'earlier' rather smacks of a pol being caught telling a whopping porkie and only when cornered facing up to it.
A bit like some other media, who we don't have to co-fund... or else.
Another for the 'Truthiness Files' of 'interesting wasy of articulating something so as to avoid it being, as such, accurate, whilst trying to claim it is.
'I accept that what I have been held to account on now is not what was previously acknowledged'. Try popping that in George W's famous quote: 'Father, I cannot tell a [ ]'

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
