The extraordinary repeated lies of the Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany 
have led to violent scenes and clashes. Is this Hungary’s second Uprising?
Thousands of protesters have clashed with police and stormed the headquarters of Hungary’s state television, furious over a leaked recording in which the shamed PM admitted that his Government “lied morning, evening and night” about the economy to win the election in April.
“There is not much choice. There is not, because we screwed up. Not a 
little, a lot. No European country has done something as boneheaded as we have.
“Evidently, we lied throughout the last year-and-a-half, two years… You cannot quote any significant government measure we can be proud of, other than at the end we managed to bring the government back from the brink. Nothing.”
In a speech sprinkled with obscenities, Gyurcsany (pictured) says: “We lied in the morning, we lied in the evening.”
He refuses to resign, but he probably won’t be in office much longer. Polls show that the Hungarian Government is losing ground to the centre-right opposition in its October municipal elections. Wouldn’t that be an incredible outcome? How can he stay on if that happened?
Why is it that Blair and his Government get away with their repeated lies? Lies always catch up with you in the end. People can only take so many, we’ve all had enough too..
