When did this become such a ubiquitous thing with the Tories. Once you spot it you hear it everywhere. It can't be accidental.
There will be a story pointing out some problem of situation or issue or lack of funding or whatever with current Tory policy. The experts or those involved will raise it, the press will cover it and then the Tories will comment that no, actually everything is fine and everything they are doing it fine.
Happened this morning. 5 Live was reporting that "£3Billion more in funding was needed for children's services". It was then explained by experts why that is followed by the stock phrase "a government spokesman says that the Conservative government are commited to spending millions of pounds on children's services in the term of this parliament".
Every time. Police cuts, NHS, transport and now Climate Change. "The world is fucked and we need to do something about it" claims science, "a government spokesman says that the Conservatives have a great record in this area".
Is it just lying cunts or are they genuinely mental?
