British Green Party Leader Apologizes for ‘Brain Fade’

February 25, 2015 · 8:17 am ET · 4 Comments

U.K. Green party leader Natalie Bennett conceded she had given an “excruciating” radio interview and attributed her poor performance to a “mind blank” and “mental brain fade” as she launched the party’s election campaign, the Guardian reports.

Bennett later apologized to Green party members: “I had a very bad interview on housing this morning. I’m very happy to confess that and I’m very sorry to Green party members that I didn’t do a good job at representing our policies. That happens, I’m human. One can have a mental brain fade on these things.”
