Traduction de «leader savait pertinemment » (Français → Anglais) :

Madame le leader savait pertinemment — et le gouvernement savait pertinemment — que, lorsque le premier ministre parlait du « contrat que nous avons signé », aucune personne raisonnable ne pouvait s'imaginer qu'il parlait en réalité d'un protocole d'entente sur la mise au point d'un avion signé il y a dix ans.
The leader knew full well and I suggest that the government knew full well that when the Prime Minister was talking about " the contract we've signed," any reasonable person would not say that he was really talking about a memorandum of understanding dealing with the development of an aircraft some 10 years earlier.
