Your right, that more or less confirms it. Good spot.

As she says, these cables go to hundreds of people sometimes so whoever has gotten access to them and given them to journalists - including her - may yet have more.

Pray tell how this confirms your theory seeing as it comes from a devout Tory mouthpiece with long standing close ties to Lord Ashcroft?

She is saying that the US diplomat cables go out to many people so she probably wasnt the only person to have received them. She was just doing her job publishing it, she's a news person. The key question is who leaked the cables to her and for that you have to look more closely at the libdems.

What possible reason would there be for the Libs to have those cables in the first place?

Edit - the Torygraph claims...:

	No, they aren't. Donald Trump is, by most reckoning, populist, and possibly a clown depending on your criteria for clownship. Boris is not though, and that you think he is a clown shows you fall in line wiht many people who a taken by his bumbling buffoon act. He is astute and calculating, not necessarily good things, but I definitely wouldnt put him in the camp of clown, because he knows what he is doing.

So did the last Viceroy of India, apparently.

Had to laugh at Boris Johnson's final pitch to become Prime Minister in his interview with Andrew Neil
on the BBC tonight.

After sidelining a number of awkward direct questions put to Boris, he ended the interview with a rallying
cry against the Red Peril - namely what this country needs is face up to the very real danger of
seeing a Marxist PM in number 10 and it's effects on the wealthy privileged classes in terms of IHT, etc.

Along the lines of once I've finally delivered Brexit the greatest threat is not the EU but the danger
of the UK becoming a Soviet Socialist Republic.

That was painful to watch. Is Boris really that optimistic or is he just playing it to get the vote? Is he being set up as a convenient buffoon/fall-guy for when it all goes pear-shaped (again) in October?

I seriously wonder which was the 'inept' government here. I can think of new reason why the British Government appeared to acknowledge the existence of these reports.

Why the hell wasn't the British Governments statement "We can neither admit nor deny the existence of these alleged memos. It could very well be fake news."

"If you wish further clarification please refer to the paragraph above."
