They Are All Fools.

Obviously there are two camps on AB, though much more civilized than what I've seen elsewhere.
Here's a leveller:

Can't be fussed with the video; but who writes his speeches anyway ? Or does he go off track ?

I always find the "how much is a pint of milk/loaf of bread"" questions to senior politicians (or anyone) a bit silly as the price varies so much- a loaf of bread can cost anywhere between around 30p and £1.50, plus more for artisan loaves, for example.

Yes, but fiction-factory, you'd think he'd know you don't need ID to buy groceries.

the clip also features Obama, which may encourage Republicans to watch it.

I have no idea what milk costs, since I don't drink it. But politicians need to know such things on behalf of constituents who do.

ff, that needn't stop them from answering the question - a wrong answer within a reasonable range is better than just shrugging like BoJo and saying who gives a ****.

Though they probably shouldn't say "£5, but that's because I only eat bread made from the rutubaga of southern Romania".

[Old_Geezer]

I don't know what groceries cost and I buy them. One pays the amount the person on the till asks for. Never been asked for ID yet though.
