It does seem to have been all pervading does it not ?

I think it shows the incompetence of the government that they didn't know about his past, and the lack of honesty on his part that he didn't own up and say "I can't take this job".

Horton of the Lancet ( long time editor thirty or forty years) was explaining to a ctee of the House of Commons why he took 16 m to publish a conflict of interest notice for the Wuhan escape.(*)

Remember the ctee that said that the Wuhan zero virus was obviously rooted in the wet fish market? and trump sulked: 'obviously paid off' ?

osculum Glasguense quaeris?

[Spicerack]

Fairly common phrase, innit. And nicely sums up the situation. imo.

[douglas9401]

Some might say that it's right up there with shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre as overused, hackneyed even.
