Given how language evolves, I would say that statement is manifestly misconceived.Truth does not age.

Well he has had a lot riding on him lately.The neighs have it.
Did that start in 1952?Only in a post-truth world.
Corbyn doesn’t like this new deal it seems unfortunately
He didn’t like the previous withdrawal agreement either due to the backstop. As the problem with the backstop as it risks keeping the uk in the single market and customs union indefinitely.
Perhaps whilst opposing the deal cos it’s the Tories , he should have read it and he should have listened to what his brexit Secretary at the time on labours policy which was to keep the uk in a permanent customs union and the single market.
Doh.
Anyway here comes the Scottish Jabba.
ISE or IZE
The O.E.D. favours universal ize, arguing that the suffix is always in its origin either Greek or Latin and in both languages it is spelt with a z. Other authorities, including most English printers, recommend universal ise. Fowler stands between these two opinions. He points out that the O.E.D.'s advice over-simplifies the problem, since there are some verbs (e.g. advertise, comprise, despise, exercise and surmise) which are never spelt ize in this country. On the other hand, he says " the difficulty of remembering which these ise verbs are is the only reason for making ise universal, and the sacrifice of significance to ease does not seem justified ".

If he's his usual anti-brexit self, he could stirrup trouble.Well he has had a lot riding on him lately.
It started in about 3500BC with the advent of literacy and it has been with us ever since among a small septic minority, well represented on here.Did that start in 1952?
Why is parliament bothering to debate this back of a fag packet proposal, its ludicrous, I mean getting rid of the back stop which was put in place to avoid a hard borderby putting in 2 more hard borders 5-10 away from the border is not a solution. It's mind blowing stupid and ignorant and total lack of respect and understanding of what the Good Friday Agreement is all about. It's not even the emperors new clothes its nonsense on the same level of Trump wanting to build a moat around the Mexican border fill it with snakes and aligaters and electric fence around wall.
Maybe we should abolish writing, to get us back to a pre-post-truth world position.It started in about 3500BC with the advent of literacy and it has been with us ever since among a small septic minority, well represented on here.

We're saved from economic collapse thanks to Jason Donovan selling well in North Korea.
Vote Bojo!
In fairness Trump’s plan is doable. It also sounds fun in a ‘Bond villain’ sort of way.
Well if you recall parliament rejected the backstop 3 times so he has to come with something different
Some people want Brexit so baddy they’ll lap up any old shit.
