Boris Johnson and his lies

In 2010, when the Conservatives took over the National Debt was £0.95trn.

So they promised they would reduce it, saying we could "trust them with the economy."

Now it's £2.3trn

Mind you in Mr Johnson's world of lies and incompetence we are probably expected to think that is a success. What did he say Labour would do to the economy? His party have already done it!

Just when you think things just cant get any worse....
Ive been in despair since the referendum but my feelings then pale into insignificance compared with now. Just who are these people who believe that Boris Johnson and his band of thieves and liars will do anything other than wreck our beloved country and the lives of our children and grandchildren? It is glaringly obvious that he is an incompetent, mendacious buffoon as are the likes of Gove, Khan, Raab, Rees Mogg, Patel, Barclay et al. But rarely are buffoons dangerous - usually we just pity them. This one is TAKING THE WHOLE NATION DOWN!!!

The Tories have sold off our:
Social Housing
Utilities
Post Office
Airlines
Industry
Buses
Trains
Water
Car Manufacturing
Telecoms
Steel
Airports
Forests
Bridges
Banks
Pipelines
Ports
Shipbuilders
Petroleum
Ferries
Construction

And you think they won't sell off the NHS, because?

I could do that jura?

those posh Londoners just live in a bubble, don't they?

Four questionable claims (lies) made by the PM during the Andrew Marr interview

1 Friday’s terror attack was possible due to a ‘leftie’ Labour government
2 Labour wants to ‘disband MI5’
3 The Tories will ‘build 40 new hospitals’
4 No checks on goods’ under his Brexit deal

Oh dear!

They look like twins! Don’t let Johnson sell our NHS

Read a comment from one of his old articles, saying we need to bring back good old fashioned marriage, men have to control their women and be the Head of Household ...

Perhaps he thinks that tub thumping and empty promises is what makes a Strong Leader?

Every third child you see will be in poverty by 2022

And this is what Johnson thinks of them

Why is Boris so dogmatic about everything he puts his fist down and promises everything, such as "we shall leave the EU on 31st October" where did that get him, now he is determined come what may to leave at the end of January,I wish he would make up his mind and get things done, not just vague promises,and lies!

Google has banned eight different Tory election adverts as lies and disinformation concerns mount

I hope I'm not repeating this.

Google bans eight different Tory election adverts as disinformation concerns mount

Six of the banned adverts were put up by the Tories on the day of the Labour manifesto launch – when the Conservative Party set up a fake website called labourmanifesto.co.uk purporting to contain the opposition’s policies.

During that incident, the Tories paid Google to push its fake version of the Labour manifesto to the top of search results for those searching for the deal document.

Tory adverts still visible that were not taken down still include links purporting to send users to “Corbyn’s Labour manifesto” which point to “labourmanifesto.co.uk” – the Tories’ site. Other uncensored adverts purport to be a link to “Labour’s Brexit Policy”, “Labour Party Education Policy”, and “Labour’s Defence Policy” but instead send users to the Conservative website.

Goebbels would be proud, sadly

He's said it before. It appeals as a soundbite to the lowest common denominator who listen to his "parliament against the people" rhetoric because it's what they want to hear. The fact that he and his party have been "parliament" for nearly 10 years doesn't seem to bother them.

Why on earth does Johnson lie like he does when he must know full well his lies can almost immediately be called out. Who on Earth is believing him?

Boris Johnson just said his Queen’s Speech “was blocked but parliament”

He won the vote.

It literally passed through parliament - the opposite of ‘blocked’.

Listening to Johnson talking about the recent tragic incident at London Bridge I worry about him not only being a liar - for which there is obvious proof, loss of jobs, etc. but that he is so very incompetent.

We all know that he was not across his brief when talking, as foreign secretary, about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and that his lack of understanding, or even, it appeared, any willingness to understand, quite possibly effected her sentence.

What if that was you, or someone in your own family? I think he is a car-crash waiting to happen over some much bigger incident. He has told us that he goes where he is told to go and says what he is told to say but what if he actually doesn't understand or care to understand the way this could affect us?

He is now telling all who will listen he will change the law on "early release". At first glance, you may think "that makes sense". But the law has already been changed - in 2012! The automatic early release no longer happens. Currently, a terrorist offender has to serve at least two-thirds of their sentence and then it is not an automatic release.

By following this easy and populist line we are doing nothing to actually protect the citizens of this country. Nothing will actually be done. Once again Mr Johnson appeals to the lowest common denominator in our society but his decisions, made because he was told they would be popular, are incompetent and incompetence in government affects us all.

Do we really want an icon of incompetence running (or not running) our country? Do we really want someone who puts his press image before understanding the often complex detail of the role?

If he is that incompetent and content, not to understand detail, but simply to be told what to do and say - what will be the outcome of leaving the EU? I imagine there are ways of making the best of it but can Mr Johnson be trusted to do that? What if he turns it into the very car-crash we can all see is possible?

Indeedy - which is why if he won't do it- it should go ahead without him asap.

If Johnson is too cowardly to stand up to Neil, what does that say about his leadership material?

btw have you all (you know who you are ...) signed the petition for the Andrew Neil interview to go ahead with cardboard effigy of Johnson? Please do if you feel that should be the case.

Am away from home and can't watch The Marr show ...

BJ's been blaming everybody apart from the Tories. AM said several times that the Tories have been in power for 10 years and have done nothing but BJ just talked over him. Instead he kept repeating that he'd only been PM for 120 days and repeatedly attacking the LP.

IMO AM is far too gentlemanly to deal with BJ, who of course didn't want the battering he'd get from A Neil.

Boris Johnson just produced his most brazen lie yet - inventing the claim that Corbyn supposedly wants to scrap MI5.

Completely untrue. He’s never said any such thing.
