You couldn't make it up.........
From the Daily Telegraph 12 May 17, page 5:
Quote of the day: "We all know that if he [Jeremy Corbin] would have surrendered Gibraltar to the Spanish, and indeed the Falklands to Australia." Paul Nuttall, the Ukip leader confuses Argentina and Australia as he attacks the Labour leader. MJ Comment - I'm amazed that the Daily Telegraph felt it had to explain the error to its readership! |

Typo's
Hang on, Australia and Argentina both begin with "A", as well as both being in the Southern hemisphere, almost exactly correct . . !

For some time I have wondered exactly what qualifications are required to become a politician:
Intelligence or failing that commonsense ? Experience of paid work in a job in the real world, where you got the job on your own merits ? A reasonable knowledge of Geography and History ? Deep felt convictions of what is right ? Wishing to make a difference to, or improving the lives of ordinary people ? A desire to commit yourself to public service ? I am beginning to wonder if all that is required is liking the sound of your own voice. P.B.

It could be worse - he could have said Accrington or Aldershot

Aussies don't want anything to do with the Falklands. Too Cold!

Well, it was Paul "Pinocchio" Nuttall.
What else would you expect? https://www.theguardian.com/politics...rough-disaster The man is supposedly a former history lecturer too.

If that scouse git was the best that Farage could find to lead UKIP..... dressing up in tweed (badly) ..... and putting on a flat cap and wax jacket doth not make thee posh Nuttall.

Peter, all the things you listed are what most politicians lack.
