Crayfish issue not as bad as Canada.

Yes. Absolutely. What you said.

There is no debate here when people argue from false premises

You cannot convince everyone

Written by Uponnothing

Possibly the most humourous part of David Cameron's TV appearance in the Leaders Debate was his 'I met a black man in Plymouth' story, where he claimed that a 40-year-old man had in fact served with the navy for 30 years - making him 10 when he joined. However, it gets worse, even the Daily Mail are running the real story of this man, who is a bit upset and perplexed about David Cameron putting words into his mouth:

'He said I spent 30 years in the Navy. I was actually in for six years, as a marine engineer serving on HMS Intrepid and HMS Berwick.'

'At least he took 10 years off my age.'

Still, not everyone is convinced David Cameron did mess up, take this Mail commenter for example:

Sounds like a Labour set up. He probable did say those things to David Cameron so that when he was quoted he could claim Cameron lied. Typical underhanded Labour tactic.

And at least 26 people agree with him.

A Lab Set Up?

Whether it was a set-up or not surely it's in the best interests of all concerned, particularly those who hope to get elected, to check that a story makes sense or not, and even better, to check whether it's true. The latter might be more difficult but the former is easy to check up. Like realising that a 10-year old cannot (at least not in Britain) sign up for the armed forces. If it was a set-up, to be successful it would rely on Cameron (and/or his advisors) being a bit, well, dim.

No wise man has the power
To reason away.
