You always have to watch out for quiet Tories. Does that appeal to their own overlord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blutarsky Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Barry Fish said: Who gets to decide what is a lie ? Brexit is wonderful... Brexit is shit... Who chooses ? Its up to the idiot Joe public to engage more. That is how we get better democracy. Seriously, @Barry Fish has to be working 9-5 at some Russian troll farm. Only posts in this thread and the Covid one. Your example is an objective one. For all the clearly demonstrable negative effects of Brexit there will be people who can see positives (I can't) that make it all worthwhile. I can accept that, however misguided I may feel those people are. But when it comes to Johnson lying at the dispatch box, facts decide what a lie is. "Fastest growing economy in the G7" - categorically untrue. We are 5th. That's a lie. "There were no parties" - the Met has up to 300 pictures which beg to differ. That's a lie. Plenty of other examples I could give. "Who chooses what's a lie" is disingenuous bullshit and you know it.

Been a game of cat and mouse since the end of WW2. Russian bombers fly directly at British Airspace and turn around at the last second as we scramble our jets to meet them. Daily Mail and such like all over it to try and ramp up the tensions but its pretty normal. Same happens with Russian / British ships all the time. its just come through as a news flash so its possibly a bit more serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbadger Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 24 minutes ago, Barry Fish said: I think what is lost on simpletons like blutarsky is ultimately its down to the British public to remove people we consider liars and not really down to the speaker of the house to make those judgements. I think we used to call it democracy... and I get called a Russian troll 🙂 funny 😄 For the record - I think Johnson is a big fibber. So according to you an elected official should be able to lie as much as they like, without recourse, because at some point they'll be up for re-election?

Whatever the result, even if a VONC doesn't go ahead Boris' reputation is getting totally shit on. The longer the government keep him in power, the worse they look.

Imagine they saw through all the Brexit Bonus talk today. I also wonder how many are concerned by Boris doubling down on the Savile row given allegations and rumours made against them in the past.
