Not news or politics? Neither was the rubbish we have just seen elsewhere.

Gosh, GG, how exciting.

We need real buffoons now and then

The world is grey enough

Buffoons belong in a circus, not running the UK.

The buffoon fools a lot of good folk but the real BJ is, as Eddy Mair once pointed out to his face "a nasty piece of works"

Amen to that, varian. [sad}

The important thing is that the BBC manipulated footage to show Johnson in a better light. They have now admitted it.

What is even more important tbh- is to find out whether the BBC manipulated footage of their own volition- or whether they were instructed to do so, and by whom.

Either way jura2, the bbc have made themselves look extremely stupid!

The media feeds its public, some of whom appear to think that buffoons are acceptable, even desirable.

jura2 Tue 12-Nov-19 12:12:47

Agreed Pantglas- and yet - the question above needs investigating and published. There is a huge and very important principle at stake here. I will not continue to pay a large licence fee for propaganda.

It should certainly have a proper investigation.

Ginny42 Tue 12-Nov-19 17:27:00

If they can put off the release of the report into Russian political interference before the election, they're not going to investigate this any time soon.

How ridiculous is that? Footage from 2016 which they just happened to have on hand in case BJ made an error. hmm

I suppose it can be brought up very quickly by computer. Just key in a few words and up it comes.
