the Ability to speak clearly and say what you believe, is a virtue in our society.

the Language witnesses in its own way about it with pithy phrases such as “to get svesken on the disk” to speak in a clear and “straight out of the bag”. In this way, you avoid the opposite; that is, “explain-me-ass” in it.

The past few days have shown how forlorent a how to explain to-me-ass, however, can take out, when especially people with great power knot on itself, own tongue, and all the logic in trying to make themselves in a better light than the situation immediately allows.

First, there was the justice minister Nick Haekkerup, who from the Parliamentary rostrum with a neo-classical sprogblomst got come to equate greater monitoring of the danes and the greater experienced freedom.

"Without security, no freedom," he said and continued: "It is the truth, that is why we criminalise. It is, in fact, what we want to do. If it is true, so it logically follows that, by monitoring increases of freedom."

Subsequently, I'm not up on the mail and get it read, and it is obviously a mistake."

Confronted by Ritzaus Bureau, journalist with, why he then did not respond after meetings back in september and October, when it was an item on the agenda, sounds:

"It is true, that on one of the last pages in the background material for the meeting is a mention of the fact that Rigsrevisionens investigation and report may contain serious criticism. But we simply not to the point of the meeting. So it will not be discussed."

Say it now just as it is – also here a little help for a useful formulation:

“I've slept an hour in a very important case and has therefore not lived up to my position responsibilities. I will find out for yourself.”
