Louis Susman's command of English rather than American needs to be considered. The nuanced speech used by the Governor of the Bank of England would have had to be transmitted verbatim for the conclusions being drawn by some Labour-supporting public figures to be valid. And even if verbatim accounts were cabled just how good would the understanding in Clinton's office - or her own for that matter - have been?
Was there even a focused discussion of the Prime Minister and Chancellor in waiting's grasp of the country's economic difficulties? I doubt it. It's likely that general talk has been filleted and elaborated to provide a response to American enquiries. After all, actually speaking is required behaviour at social and even formal gatherings; but Mr King will not have proffered any more than the most anodyne remarks, and assents to suggestions from his host, of that we may be quite certain.
