Believe Me, I Believe

One of the new token fillies on the Government's front benches has done some bizarre babbling to try and scrounge a headline before the Bullingdon Club forget her name. Tracey Crouch, the sports minister for the political wing of the City of London, is "genuinely rather appalled" at the avarice of others; she used the word genuinely herself, so presumably she isn't just saying it. Crouch also referred to a select committee report to which she contributed, and whose recommendations she and her colleagues wrote while "100% believing in the recommendations". Again, her thinking seems to be that, as a Westminster politician, she will be believed the more she burbles about believing. Crouch further appears to believe that she will be given a free hand to democratise the Football Association, without reference to the wishes of profiteers, oligarchs or thugs. If that belief is genuinely 100% genuine, then most likely the others are as well; anyone who could believe that is far too stupid to fib.
