Boris Johnson and his lies

On the subject of the NHS this is really worth watching, no hysteria, just simple information with back up:

If anyone has information to the contrary I would welcome reading it.

How can anyone still believe and trust anything Boris tells them it is just beyond me.

'Boris Johnson as booed by an angry medical student as he left a Cambridge hospital while on a visit, where he set himself a new Brexit deadline of leaving the EU by January “at the absolute latest”.
The prime minister appeared to get a frosty reception at Addenbrooke’s hospital, where staff were not given advance warning of his visit and national media were not invited to attend.
He was confronted by Julia Simons, a 23-year-old medical student, who later criticised him for using the hospital for a “PR stunt”. “Staff were not informed even when he was in the hospital. He was too cowardly to face the uncensored opinions of staff because we know the reality the effects of his government’s and party’s policies on patients,” she said afterwards.'

..we need to complain to the BBC that things like this are not being shown; reminds me of the way Putin controls the media as shown in that programme the other night....

So - it seems much much worse than even the most sceptical of us would have even dreamt of. All planned well in advance by Cummings and co.

becoming clearer by the day. Machiavelian à la Cummings. So... Boris will soon say 'I wanted a Deal and I got you one. But I have to ally with Farage to win election, and he insists I ditch the Deal - so oh dear, what a shame - I have to ditch it and accept, very much against my will, to go for No Deal. Oh and put NHS, workers' rights, bio safety, GFA, etc, etc - on the table. You know, needs must- oooops soz.

Both Cummings and Johnson in trouble with electoral commission. They had suppressed the report until the day after Brexit - and so it came out on first day of campaign.

Not a good look, for sure ;)

...and Matthew Parris, a Tory for 50 years, has resigned his party membership.
"‘I find myself, unwilling to support a leader who is a stranger to honesty, or principle and who surfs a foolish populist wave, for the sake of ambition alone’"

WWM2 - Thanks for posting that link. An articulate young woman explaining clearly what's happening in the NHS.

Johnson denied doing a deal with Farage, so he will almost certainly will be doing so. Wonder what the deal will be?

Your link @10.01.
The comments on that link were brilliant. Most people ( including me) see right through him, but the best comment has to be: More femi extrapolation to oblivion bollocks

Thank you so much for the link to that brilliant video Nonnie. What an inspiration that young man is. I didn't need convincing, but it was a real boost to hear someone articulate the arguments so succinctly and I learned a lot from it too.

Anyone seen the clip from Johnson’s “surprise” visit to Addenbrookes Hospital yesterday? The mainstream media not invited ( wonder why?) he was booed out of the building by staff and patients. It’s on Twitter and FB.

Imagine if it had been Corbyn booed out of that hospital- it would be front page news.

Somewhat puzzled by this, jura. Is this the story you're referring to?

If it isn't, do you have a link to your story?

Johnson hasn’t made a good start has he?

He performs badly at PMQs and when under any sort of pressure.

He doesn’t appear as popular with the public as the polls would have you believe.

He is never on top of his subject and tries to ramble and joke his way through, usually spouting the same old lies.

He needs to get a gripe.

No we have cause to gripe- he needs to get a grip!

We knew he didn't have it in him, why else did his minders keep him away from the cameras during the Tory leadership elections?

Who was it who said he's all pifflepifflewafflewaffle? He's out of his comfort zone when he has to ad lib with the public. The Tories wheel him out to places he needs to be seen to be learning about their way of living and working and he clearly doesn't want to be there. All this hogwash about him having charisma! Heaven preserve us!

ginny ??

Interesting article in the Guardian this morning.

Johnson been PM for 100 days.

Lost 15 votes

Won 8 votes

Lost 21 MPs by removing the whip

Parliament sat for only 25 days under Johnson

Parliament prorogued 14 days

Visits to hospitals 6

PMQs appearances 3

YouTube people’s PMQs 2

Ministerial resignation 3

Not exactly a smooth run.

Oh yes- and what's that about the Brexit plan being 'oven ready - just pop it in the microwave'... What the heck is going on in that mind?

How much cooking has he done? If it's oven-ready you don't put it in the microwave. Wrong oven!

Story of his life

It's puerile stuff from our top statesman. It's positively Trumpesque. Are the Tories not embarrassed yet?

ginny the trouble it seems that just like America, the voters political sophistication is at the level that this sort of rhetoric appeals.

WWMK2 Your post (08.47 today) is insulting to every Conservative in the Country.

Just some of them.

gg13 why?

Because I’m comparing them to the American voter?

WWMK2 "the voters political sophistication is at the level that this sort of rhetoric appeals" so are you implying that anyone voting Conservative is not educated or politically aware?

No doubt if a post was put up about Labour voters must all be anti Semitic and IRA sympathisers because that is what Jeremy Corbyn is accused of you would be happy to agree with it?

Unfortunately some of the population are poorly educated. Therefore, many voters of all colours will come in that category. No-one has said ALL voters.
