One of the more astonishing claims by Dave "Man of the People" Cameron on the TV debate on Thursday, was this gem:
I was in Plymouth recently, and a 40-year-old black man made the point to me. He said, "I came here when I was six, I've served in the Royal Navy for 30 years..."
Now bear with me on the maths, but if this bloke was 40 and had been in the Navy for 30 years, then he would have to have been 10 when he joined, MAX.
Far be it from me to imply that Dave made this encounter up, that would be verging on the libellous!
I can only conclude that this "black man" was a fantasist, and DC was just too polite to point it out, in which case why did he repeat it in front of 10 million people?
