Cable's got a Phd in Economics, and was chief economist at Shell. I'd hardly call that no experience at all.
Ah I see, you were talking about his experience with Shell – fair enough. I assumed that as you said "second in command" to the Chancellor, you meant at number 11, or in cabinet, or even maybe, in government.
Well I've got experience with riding a single speed bike – does that count ?
Or are you saying that the tricky job of trying to get an oil company to actually show a profit, is the same "experience" as running the world's 5th largest economy and dealing with recession, 2 million unemployed, inflation, debt, allocating funds to education, health, housing, defence, trade agreements, the EU, IMF, etc, etc,
💡 Are confusing "qualifications" with "experience" ?
Vince Cable has no experience. Ken Clark does.
