Garden centres are popular across the class divide. I am sure there are a lot of peeps who grow their own veg glad to get plug plants.

Well duh.. I had noticed that a lot of people have gardens. It was a joke on a joke thread.
 
Full, unedited, original interview here post #12,487.
Yes, the unedited version makes it clear that this man is no idiot, but it's still not great. He's fumbling about as he's trying desperately (it seems) not to say what he actually thinks, whilst giving an answer that doesn't demolish his integrity.

I wouldn't fancy it (and, happily, don't have to). But he probably shouldn't have agreed to the interview. There's no way to come out of that usefully or well.

Should everyone who goes on tv, be very self confident, good at arguing black is white and never admit to not knowing something?

If that's the case, we will only ever get people with certain personality traits.

Uncertainty and unkowns are a factor with covid-19.

No, absolutely not. But what screamed out at me was that he seemed to think and want to say "you're right, we massively fucked up" but was doing his level best to find a way not to deny that, whilst also not destroying his career (understandable) or making himself the focus of massive scrutiny, or a patsy for something that probably wasn't his fault in the main. That's a really hard position to put yourself in. It made him look, probably unfairly, evasive (and of course in the edit designed to do so, like a total fool). I hold my hands up to falling for the first edit. :oops:

I may well be projecting as I often find answering people's questions (in ordinary situations) problematic, as 5 million thoughts compete for dominance over what could or should come out of my mouth.
