He never troubled to learn German, the language in which most of the other top economists of the time wrote. So he wasn’t awfully likely to find out about a lot of the changes of facts, was he? Cleve bugger, mind, and a tip-top inside dealer.

There’s the problem these days that unless you have a direct line to Number 10, admitting you’ve done something wrong means you have to resign immediately, which I guess can put some people off.

There’s also the fact that a lot of politicians get into this game because they’re mad enough to think that they’re always right, a feeling that grows exponentially once they’ve one an election or two. Thus they can’t admit to being wrong, because it MUST have been someone else’s fault.

Similarly with the police – they ARE the law. And the law is also Never Wrong.
