Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Originally posted by Teddy Eagle This is just wrong. The expression dates back to at least Edmund Burke whose views on political representation you've often espoused. Not quite. I read that what Burke actually wrote was:- “Falsehood and delusion are allowed in no case whatever: But, as in the exercise of all the virtues, there is an economy of truth. It is a sort of temperance, by which a man speaks truth with measure that he may speak it the longer.” Whilst expressing a similar sentiment, Armstrong has condensed the idea and made it both more accessible and comprehensible. So it's his. In my opinion. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

It's not all bad news from the BBC, Anjem Choudary has been charged with three terror offences. He is accused of membership of a proscribed organisation, addressing meetings to encourage support for a proscribed organisation and directing a terrorist organisation, contrary to section 56 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

Shaka Hislop collapsed pitched in California yesterday - the BBC had to insert the paragraph - the temperature was 30 degrees - it is unknown whether the heat played a part in his collapse. Their woke climate agenda has to be pushed at all times!

The precise phrase "economical with the truth" is attested from 1897.[10][11] It was used in the New Zealand House of Representatives in 1923,[12] and the House of Commons of Canada in 1926;[13] "over-economical with the truth" was used in the British House of Commons in 1968.[2][14] In Paul Brickhill's 1950 book The Great Escape, the phrase is an ironic description of the testimony of an interrogated Gestapo officer.[15]
