Bad memory as a political tactic

It seems that Red Ed is working on an alibi: he wants people to believe that he has a severely faulty memory and he has victim status because of it. So if he forgot to mention the budget deficit (created whilst he was part of the last Labour government) during his party conference speech last year, that’s because he’s a victim and it’s not his fault. And if he can’t remember conspiring to weaponize the NHS, that’s also because he’s a victim and it’s not his fault.
    And now, the future becomes clear. Ed will shoot his mouth off and if he finds that a few people agree with him, that’s his policy. But if people tell him it’s a terrible idea, the memory alibi will come into play and Ed will play the victim yet again. “It’s not my fault, honest!”
