Coincidence, Channelling or Copying?

Yesterday David Farrar blogged using the following quote:

My response was to quote former United Kingdom Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and say “Events, dear boy, events”.

Today the same quote appears in John Armstrong’s article.

As British prime minister, Harold Macmillan was once asked what was the most likely thing to blow a government off course. “Events, dear boy, events,” he famously replied.

Coincidence, Channelling or Copying?

    It is a coincidence. John’s column was filed by the time mine appeared on the website. I know this because i happened to be chatting to them yesterday and they mentioned we had both used that quote – which is not that big a coincidence as it is an obvious quote for what has happened.

    Farrar could be Armstrongs love child.

    There is a similarity about the hairline.
