I'll be brief.

Stephen Byres, ex minister, has fouled up.

If his version of what happened at the "sting" meeting is true, he lied (not "big upped") to the reporters.

If his version is not true, he's a liar.

Simples. The man's an out and out liar.

So why has nobody said so?

Is it me? Or does this reflect the level of expectation to which we have all sunk?
