Small wonder that politicians are loathed.“I apologise if I’ve said anything remotely hurtful…there were comments about immigration…which I didn’t get the chance to reply to…that were annoying…you’ve got to remember, it’s a case of me being helpful to the broadcasters who have recorded and played my private conversation.”
