I don't believe you actually believe that, you are just happy being whipped up into a pretend frenzy by an video edited to end before he even finished the answer and so that you can moan about the Tories on the internet on a Friday night.

Get a grip Mr kneejerk.
If he had said 'Congo is a different country from Rwanda, isn't it' as a statement you might (just might) have a point.

But he didn't. He said it as a question.

In the moment he tied himself in a knot, looked a total idiot and (until his central office autopilot kicked in) failed to answer a simple audience question.

His grasp of geography may have improved by the following morning - but the following morning wasn't what was beamed to millions of viewers.

As a media event it was a perfect summary of the entire Rwanda Scheme scandal.
