Just after the space station had passed over, I saw these really weird lights in our garden. The conspiracy theorists would have a field day.
Wise before and after the event
So, Boris ‘bus-liar’ Johnson’s chief political strategist, Dominic Cumberbatch—or someone with access to the password for his blog, at least—has been caught retrospectively doctoring an old blog post to make himself look far more prescient than he really is.
