Who said 'No woman in my lifetime will be Prime Minister'? Answer,
none other than the Iron Lady herself, Margaret Thatcher.
Fortunately for the rest of us, politicians are accustomed to
u-turns, and very entertaining it is too - everyone loves a
know-it-all with egg on their face, it speaks to the
rasberry-blowing subversive in us all. With a foreword by Matthew
Parris, who'll never let bygones be bygones where a verbal faux pas
is concerned, this is a delightful collection of experts putting
feet in mouths on subjects as diverse as science, education, music
and crime. (Kirkus UK)
Did you ever have the uneasy feeling that the experts are not ...
well, experts? 'We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on
the way out.' Decca Recording Company executive, turning down the
Beatles, 1962 I Wish I Hadn't Said That sets straight thousands of
examples of expert misunderstanding, miscalculation, egregious
prognostication, boo-boos, and just plain lies. The experts have
been wrong about everything under, including and beyond the sun:
time, space, the sexes, the races, the environment, economics,
politics, crime, education, the media, history and science. In I
Wish I Hadn't Said That we see just how much the experts don't
know. 'No woman in my lifetime will be Prime Minister' Margaret
Thatcher
