Cleverly veiled and seemingly restrained lies

In a Progress article by Melanie Ward, Head of Advocacy at ActionAid UK, she implies that the General Synod on Tuesday exposed "ugly and deep rooted bias against women".

This is at variance with the Guardian's Andrew Brown who did not mention ugliness and deep rooted bias but just told us how dull it was (and he sat through the whole day and was bored every minute of it).

Note of course that Melanie Ward does not actually claim in her article that ugliness and deep rooted bias were in evidence.  She is too clever for that.  But she certainly implies there was a bad tempered slanging match in which misogynistic statements were hurled across the chamber.

Lies Ms Ward.

Cleverly veiled and seemingly restrained lies.

But lies nonetheless.
