Public lying by a politician with intention to mislead the public should be a criminal offence.
I would definitely support such petition, or would vote for a candidate promising it (no irony here!).
You’d think someone who told all those lies would be better at lying, wouldn’t you?
Can’t wait to email my MP multiple times and receive zero response to this, just like with the Cummings debacle. Good times.
Absolutely not, absolutely not,” Mr Johnson replied. “I have never tried
to deceive the public and I’ve always tried to be absolutely frank.”
Yet another accusation of lying for this nobbollock and nothing will be done about it as usual.
They’ll all be off to Pepper Pig World this year for another ‘business meeting’.
They can’t abuse the structures of power if we change the structures of power.
Abolish Westminster. Have independent regions with more direct democratic accountability. Devolve more power in these independent regions to county and metro councils.
In my case specifically. I want an independent north.
“Accused of lying” is lawyer speak for “Caught in an obvious lie” I guess
This lot lie like Trump. Brazen, in your face, audacity. Treat with zero tolerance before it becomes normal.
Starmer is barely scratching this with his politer than polite – “the PM needs to apologise.”
You’d think that *surely* this – one of the worst PR disasters in his entire time in government – would be the thing that *even the stupid people* would get angry with, right?
Wrong. Facebook news comment sections today are filled with comments from the middle-aged (or troll farm accounts idk) saying things like “Oh get a life, who cares”, “so sad, important news and murders you focus on this” and even a few “good on you Boris sad people just need to get a life” style comments.
We’re doomed lol.
Unfortunately he’s already set a precedent for lying in parliament, they used the word gymnastics that he ‘isn’t necessarily expected to tell the truth’ when they were pressured on it, so I doubt anything will happen.
The saddest thing about this, is that this isn’t even the worst thing that Boris and the Tories have done over the last decade or so. Still, if this is the scandal that takes them all down, I’ll be happy about that.
PM accused of lying…. Shocked! Has he ever *not* lied? He’s not fit for office and it’s a joke that he ever was elected as PM in the first place.
We should storm Downing Street and join the Christmas party this year. We’ll get Bojo to dance on a table all night long.
I’m no fan of the Daily Mail but decided to venture off there and they’re pissed off with the government and BoJo again this story is the lead article on their website. This is the full headline:
>Government gaslights Britain: Javid CANCELS all planned interviews as police probe bombshell video showing No10 staff joking about ‘illegal’ Xmas party while nation was in lockdown – and UK faces prospect of new Covid restrictions in days
The normally rabid pro-Tory comments aren’t too sympathetic either, these are the top 3 rated comments:
>My mate broke down over the phone when he described watching his dad fade away through the window of a care home. It brings tears to my own eyes just recalling it now. It was around the same time these people were laughing and joking about it. They were laughing at my mate’s dad Pat. They were laughing at my grieving mate Kev and his mum Kath. They were laughing at you and me when we were sticking to the rules to try to save people’s lives. The whole bunch of them are truly contemptible. Right to the top
​
>I was not allowed to be with my Mum last Christmas. She died of Covid alone and I could not even go to her funeral to say goodbye or sort her possessions. All the while Boris and his cronies are out on the pss…
​
>I think things are seriously bad now, for the government. Ministers cancelling all of the days interviews has dug the hole deeper. And there’s no denying that having a party in No. 10 while nurses painfully follow the government’s rules to keep loved ones away from their dying relatives. I can’t see the PM resigning over this, but I can see the cabinet forcing him to set a timetable to resign soon.
Once again the real story is missed. All of those at the highest levels of government have completely ignored the covid rules. What does this tell us ? Not just hypocrisy. It also tells us that they weren’t really scared of covid. They were partying whilst telling us this virus was so lethal we had to stop seeing family to save them. But they knew that they were exaggerating how bad this virus is for the vast majority of society.
Now including the Cabinet, No 10 workers, as well as Johnson, Cummings, Neil Ferguson. All of those acted like we were not in a deadly pandemic, whilst telling us we had to stay at home to save others. Because they knew they were exaggerating how deadly covid is.
They’re going to claim that Boris himself wasn’t there.
Con +1 as of Monday… let’s see what happens when Boris stops pushing for a snap GE when the polls go negative against Labour in the next days for the first time in 11 years of power.
Boris “my name isn’t actually Boris and I printed my lies on the side of a bus” Johnson is a liar!? No shit.
We have an agreed set of standards for people in public positions. These are the Nolan principles.
This PM and Government fail on every single test. And they think they’re better than us!
Privileged elite. Even if you’re a committed Tory surely you’d be ashamed of this
Prime minister Boris Johnson LIED?! – That’s beyond the pale, I’ve never heard such treason in my life!
How are people not taking to the streets, rioting!? This is unfathomable on so many levels.
“PM accused of lying”? This is what’s wrong with media. The PM being “accused of” lying is not a story. People can accuse him of anything, and do all the time.
Do the damn research: Find out if the accusations are true, and if they are, write a story about him lying.
Really shouldn’t be having to use the word “accused” for things that are objective and unequivocal facts.
“Accused of lying” LMAO. I’d be more shocked by a headline that said “PM tells the truth”, the man is incapable of honesty.
He’s denied it in parliament again now, so how long until pictures come out to sink him for good?
It shows the contempt with which the Tory Class hold the British public.
Its time for the entire public to stand up now against this corrupt, vile and lying through their teeth party. If Labour will not do in then we must as enough is surely enough. Whilst we have suffered the past year they have lied throughout and at our expense.
Careful, you’re not allowed to call liars liars anymore.
Lying is fine, but don’t you dare call Johnson a liar!
The sad fucking thing about ALL of this is that this story will be completely forgotten in about a week and the entire nation will move on.
Just think about all that Owen Patterson stuff a few weeks back – not talked about anymore
It’s all bollix. There’s no point to anything anymore
I’ve missed the birth of my niece as well as my sister’s wedding.
I’m a bereaved parent, my son died the beginning of 2019, and I’ve been cut off from my family since lock downs began so I’ve been missing that support. It’s definitely affected my mental health. I’m so fatigued by it all but I’ve tried my best to follow rules and get vaccinated etc.
So to hear about these assholes just taking the piss out of everything while normal people like you and me have had to suffer is just so fucking unacceptable.
The entire Tory party is perfectly comfortable with Boris lying, not one of them has ever done a single thing to stop the British public being lied to.
The tory party regard us all as eejits, and righty so, we allow the tory party to abuse us for their self gains, the tory party laugh at us,
they know they can do what they like when they like, and we will just allow them to take away hard won rights, they do not care and never will.
And now she’s filmed outside her house crying crocodile tears because she was caught…
