Tory Racism

Boris Johnson yet again uses the 'people are always to drag out bits and pieces I've written over the years...' line when confronted with evidence of his prejudice. There's a hell of a lot of 'bits and pieces' though. 'Piccaninnies', 'bum boys', 'letter boxes' etc etc etc.

As well as racism being entirely ignored, we have all these cuts.

Anything to say about his lies eazy?

I watched the Marr interview, and I have already complained about the constant interruptions as Boris Johnson was answering the questions; I have complained before to the BBC about this, and much to my surprise received lengthy letters upholding my complaint. 'The interviewer got carried away 'was one comment.
The intention of the interview is to gain headlines for the day's news, not to elicit answers for the listeners to judge for themselves.
Why did Marr not press Sami Shakrabati when she refused to answer his question about what went wrong? As the erstwhile leader of Liberty, she should have answered, but was allowed to deem it unsuitable. Imagine the response if Boris Johnson had declined. And as he kept pointing out, he has only been leader for four months.

Thought I'd pressed preview then, so apologies for my errors.

But Johnson doesn't respond, does he, whatever type of interview he is? Or at least he doesn't give answers to the questions put to him.
He sits or stands there blathering away, just intent on saying what he wants to say, which is rarely if ever an actual reply to the question he has been asked.

greyduster Johnson attempted to set the agenda by constantly repeating the same meaningless mantras.

Marrs task was to get him to answer questions. I didn’t think Marr was very successful, but I thought Johnson was a total car crash.

You will be hard put to find a tweet supporting Johnson.

What was the point of inviting him on just for Marr to savage him relentlessly so that it was impossible for him to respond? Is that good broadcasting? No, it isn’t, whether you like Johnson or loathe him. Marr should be ashamed of that performance.

I missed the interview, but BBC radio news headlines were saying that he'd had a rough ride, and played the snippet where Marr kept repeating that the Tories have had ten years to sort things out, in response to Boris's trying to blame Labour for Friday's atrocity.

Brilliant!

Love or hate the Tories, SURELY they could pick a better leader? I didn't like TM but at least she didn't have a range of bigotries simmering visibly under the surface. No wonder they don't want him interviewed. They're worried he'll make yet another racist gaff.

Just watched the Marr interview with Johnson - apart from expsing BJ as an incompetent politian, there were a couple of times when BJ had to reign himself in to not use 'common' people or somesuch phrase. Also watched an interview yesterday, with his father, Stanley Johnson, bemoaning that his son had been described as a 'Pinocchio' liar, where he said that most British peple would not know how to spell it! Their distaste for the 'ordinary' man is barely concealed.
