Boris Johnson photoshopped out of Grant Shapps spaceport picture

  1. I don’t think the press should be allowed to write about Grant Shapps without mentioning his time spent as Michael Green, Corinne Stockheath and Sebastian Fox.

  2. It’s just such a bad attempt to Photoshop as well.

    The blur beneath the spacecraft with what could be a wheel on it’s left side, is actually Johnson’s elbow still in the image…

    Edit: spelling

  3. Probably for the best

    Otherwise you get all the usual squealers ranting about wallpaper and “de Pfeffell”

  4. Ministry of Truth in full swing!
    ~~Michael Green Corinne Stockheath Sebastian Fox~~ Grant Shapps publishing a doctored photo of his visit to Cornwall Spaceport with Boris photoshopped out is truly Orwellian!
    The fact Bojo’s elbow is still in the image is just incompetent!

  5. I know editing images like this has been common forever at this point, but it still gives me the creeps. How much do we see that is actually real now unless we see it directly with our own eyes.

    With the video stuff like deepfakes, and AI, it feels like we draw closer and closer to the Metal Gear Solid 4 world state but without anybody on the side of good. I know, I know, a gaming comparison, but fictional media reflects a lot on reality.

  6. Funny how they’re not calling it Stalinist…despite this being EXACTLY the kind of thing Stalin did when folk fell out of favour…

  7. Although he has now deleted it, his twitter account is @grantshapps and is available for you to tweet that image to him.

  8. I can understand the Tories wanting to move on from him but pretending he does not exist is a bit much. If they are so desperate to erase Johnson from their current image then they should work on their policies and behaviour, not on their Photoshop skills.

  9. ‘Grant wasn’t aware anyone had edited the picture’

    Grant had no idea about the fat bloke standing in the way when the picture was taken?

    Tough shit, monkey boy! It’s on your Twitter account, with your name on it.
    If you don’t want responsibility for such things, put them out under the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy account.
