Semantic grape slicing anyone?
Janet Daley is finding it tough going at the Kelly Enquiry:
Well, do you believe him? Or are you so lost in the semantic grape-slicing that you no longer know what it would mean to believe anybody?
Some of the questions being particularly difficult:
This is more than semantics. It is metaphysics. When does a document become a dossier?
Yes, we're getting lost in the details. My guess is that we'll never get at the truth not least because half the participants wouldn't know what the truth was if it stood up and kicked them in the groin.
So, what we are left with are perceptions and the one that I think will carry the day is that both the BBC and the government are distinctly dodgy.
Which is fine by me.
