Ohhh, okay. That makes much more sense! I wasn't nitpicking, by the way, and it definitely wasn't too ridiculous that it couldn't have been true, knowing what local government is like! 😁

I know this is a bit beside the point, but why wouldn't Bakewell Urban District Council be located in Bakewell?? It's not even that close to Ashbourne!

I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her, even when she's saying things that happen to be true. But to the extent that this might damage Trump and his coterie of incompetent sycophants, I'm all for it.

A depressing number of them *will* believe him, though. That's the nature of a cult. They would believe 2+2=5 if the Party told them. Orwellian Doublethink is alive and well in MAGAland.

What has happened to Marjorie Three-Toes? It's a most distressing feeling to be in agreement with her.

Good news is thin on the ground at the moment, and of course one swallow doesn't make a summer, but this is a Good Day.

Why is nobody pulling him up on this constant "I don't know anything about it" response every time he doesn't want to answer? He's either the most deceitful or the most incompetent speaker ever. (Of course I don't rule out the possibility of him being both.)
