One Interpretation

When I read Ken Clarke’s weekend comments about his age I was struck by a different interpretation. Interestingly enough I was not the only one.

Ken Clarke

"He's probably too young and I'm probably too old. He's got no experience at all and I am loaded with experience. The ideal candidate may be somewhere between the two of us, half the age but half the experience. But he ain't there."

Commenter

Hmmm so you need someone younger than Clarke but with more experience than Cameron. Step forward Mr Davis.

Not sure that’s what Ken meant, but it is the logical answer.
