The Internet is interesting in that you can go and research what people said but a few years ago and then listen to what they say now.
I used to say that I rarely lied in business as I couldn't remember what lie I might have told and I'd get found out and I'm not very good at it. Instead people found my direct approach threatening which is funny. I say funny, perhaps disarming is correct.
I once went to a customer because his supplier was messing me around and could not finish on time. I knew what to do about it and I knew that he wouldn't be happy but, go armed with a way out and don't lie. What actually happened was interesting because once the anger had subsided mere seconds in reality that his job wasn't going to be finished and that it was his side letting it down I told him how I could sort it out and gave him a way out of his embarrassment and a way we could both "win". Shortly afterwards, the sales managed heard about what had happened and went to the customer and rather than check with me what was going on, spun some cock and bull story about what he'd put in place, blah, blah, blah. The customer, rightly so sent him away with a flea in his ear and explained that everything was under control and that he might like to talk to the person that was actually running the job, me.
Lies get you no where at all and when you tell the truth you don't have to remember what you said as it was the truth and not some fabrication.
Our politicians are getting caught out time and again by having said one thing and now doing the total opposite. It's obvious they are lying, they are way way out of their depth. They don't understand their briefs and they certainly don't understand much about politics, world stage stuff, people and communication. Their approval rating is on the floor as they p1ss off more and more sectors of the public. It's unbelievable that they didn't see that inflation would rise, unemployment go up, business move or close down and so on. It was blindingly obvious to all but an ideological zealot that if you messed with these things something would happen elsewhere. So now we have them going back on pensioner's heating allowance, WASPI women compensation (that they were going to redress) and many other things and all in the space of a few months their ratings are down, they have zero credibility and I am certain that they will soon find it difficult to go anywhere without being heckled and abused in public. Deservedly so.
It is rotten to the core but some of us have known that for years but now, right in your face, they are lying, misrepresenting, misinforming and using some sort of propaganda style tactics more at home in the period of the Berlin Wall and the Communist East. It is horrific and you can watch as the car crashes and the ship sinks and they rearrange the deck chairs and stare at the headlights wondering what is coming next.
The Chancellor's plans are falling apart and I am surprised she and the PM are still in office. I think many thought they'd be out by Christmas but then there were other things that wold all be over by Christmas that didn't turn out that way I suppose.
It would be nice to find some sort of civil disobedience tactic that would impact these utter lying charlatans. The very worst people I have ever seen, no experiences, no honour whatsoever and certainly not a clue when it comes to Governing. At the moment, every thing they do is aimed at giving money to non participants in this country's wealth and taking that money from us and p1ssing it up the wall. They need to be gone, the lot of them.
