An interesting distinction

David Cameron has accused the Brexit campaign of telling “irresponsible” lies. Which sounds like an invitation to the rest of us to believe that he tells only “responsible” lies; stuff which he knows is untrue but he’d like us to believe it so we do the right thing and vote Bremain.
    Taking a lead from the TV adverts for bookies, which contain a small voice gabbling, “Please bet responsibly!”, we’re now expecting the same voice to add to Dave’s next Bremain rant: “This broadcast contains only responsible lies.”
