Mister M   1,575 #1 Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) This is a 'rum do' about UKIP's leader Paul Nuttall.  First he denies that he lied about losing friends at the Hillsborough disaster, then he said that he was, then reporters start asking probing questions of family and friends, then he blames his employee, then he comes clean, sort of.  Another website then claims that he was a professional footballer for Tranmere Rovers, and that he held a PHD. All of this has been repeated to him for many years, as in introductions to programmes, yet never once, until very recently has he sought to clear up the fact that he wasn't a professional footballer, or that he holds a PHD.  https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/feb/10/ukip-leader-paul-nuttall-denies-lying-about-being-at-hillsborough-disaster  http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/paul-nuttall-hillsborough-tranmere-nhs_uk_58a33298e4b03df370da891a  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/14/ukip-leader-forced-admit-claim-lost-close-personal-friend-hillsborough/  Why did he not clear up the confusion earlier on?  Perhaps he thought the rumours would bolster his working class reputation, now that UKIP claims it wants to be the party of the working class. Or perhaps he was genuinely unaware that people thought he was at the Hillsborough disaster, that he was a professional footballer, and that he did hold a PHD. Or perhaps he thought he could get away with it. Edited February 17, 2017 by Mister M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
