If there’s one person that knows about lying conmen it’s Alastair Campbell.
Some people really like being lied to by conmen, though.
WMDs….. I don’t think he can lecture anyone about being lied to
From the horse’s mouth.
One word, Alastair: Dossier.
A woman literally replied that she didn’t care about anything they promised as was more interested in sovereignty. You truly can’t help some people.
It’s a pointless stunt by the bbc again. There’s no point reasoning with people like their audience members. The fact those who brought you brexit don’t want you to talk about it and seem to gloat it can’t be reversed should be enough of a red flag.
The poor old girl who thought we needed more deaths on building sites by leaving the eu…like France and Germany…should have been clue that it was the dumbest thing to do to ask the public such an important question.
Anyone who heeds anything said by Alistair Campbell’s reinvention of himself over the last ten years has been thoroughly played.
Please please please can we stop this rehabilitation of Alastair Campbell? So many people seem happy to ignore his very large role in taking this country into Iraq just because he shares their view that the Tories are crap and Brexit is bad.
And how ironic is it that he’s moaning about conmen? The only reason those conmen thrived during the referendum is because of the lies told by repeated governments, none more than the one he was part of. The disconnect between voters and politicians that led to Brexit, has its roots in the lies he told to take us into Iraq.
Let’s also not forget his role in destabilising an entire country that’s still a mess two decades later, and the countless lives that were lost as a result as well.
There were many lies told:
An immediate recession.
A punishment budget being required.
The “dangerous fantasy” of a European army.
Many lies were told, and many believed them.
How does anyone care what this scumbag thinks. We was a war criminals spokesperson for Christ sake!
He’s not wrong but the brass neck of this one calling other people liars is unbelievable. I hate how the media in this country love to rehabilitate the image of the absolute worst political demons.
Politicians lying to the public is a BAD thing, says Mr. Campbell…
How does this man have a public profile??
Has he found those WMDs yet?
He’s right of course, but people in glass houses and all.
Their heads are probably buried too far in the sand to hear
The irony of all this is as the bloke after Maggie mentioned on a podcast the other day, her party/cabinet was full of EU-friendly voices.
Chaps/ladies that had been of ‘that generation’, so to speak. Either served or gone through it as a life experience – ‘never again’ and all that. The thought process being, clearly, ‘keep Europe together/connected so there’s not another clusterfuck like the last two’.
