Lie detector test for Politicians

[Billhook]

I was watching the cross examinations of FBI leaders in the Senate and their obvious lies by saying they were not told or aware of things they were asked about;  I then saw this fun interview with Stuart Hogg, Scottish rugby player all done in fun but serious all the same and thought how much time and money would be saved if we wired all politicians up, in fact all witnesses.

Probably the same as if we wired up tree surgeons.

 

Will there be any damage to the lawn?

We’ll keep it to a minimum 

 

You will save me as much firewood as possible and not put it in the chipper?

Of course (till they’ve gone back in the house)

 

Nobody tells the truth all the time, everyone lies hundreds of times a day, you, your mum, the pope, politicians.

Otherwise nothing would ever get done.

I prefer to say I've been economical with the truth 😂

If that is the case it's not surprising that our leaders do as well as they do and why should we expect high standards from them if we think lying is fine?

 

Admittedly I dont have to work with the public like you do but lies are not part of my everyday work or home life

I'd prefer they were randomly drugs and alcohol tested. 

The decisions they make and vote on are all about our wellbeing and future, to have that compromised or swayed because they are intoxicated or under the affects of illegal substances is worse than lying.

So Stubby, bearing in mind that I have my lie detector switched on.  When you stop for a break in the middle of some arb work, and you scratch your bum, do you sniff your finger afterwards?!

If their lips are moving they are lying! Simple.
