Ch 4 10 pm. Boris Johnson and Lebedev…

I intend to watch this tonight, MayBee70....

My flabber has never been so gasted. Shocking!!

....and quite scary...

Oh, I missed it. Does Channel4 do catchup?

Scrub that. I've found it.

Must watch that !

I read that the Italian security services monitored Johnson’s visits.

What an awful man he is.

Yet this is the man that the conservatives voted for as PM. He is also the man whose slogan "Get Brexit done" won him the 2019 election. Does this not reflect badly on our nation?

I read speculation that Johnson is being blackmailed by him

MayBee70

At last, a Dispatches special investigating Johnson’s relationship with Lebedev and his father which points out he was the first PM to overrule intelligence advice and ignored the intelligence services advice relating to national security. Why has this been so long in coming? No wonder his supporters wanted rid of Ch4.

What evidence have you of "his supporters " wanting to get rid of channel four. Some MPs did, or did you mean his supporters in the voting population. Because as a Conservative, I personally couldn't care less if it was sold to Discovery, as was muted, as its a channel I never watch.

I think it reflects badly on the uselessness of our governance system that such an appalling individual was able to reach the highest office in the government structure and was then able to ride roughshod over every single part of the mechanisms that were intended to provide checks and balances to his powers with absolutely no meaningful sanction whatsoever.

Johnson has destroyed so much and enabled so much harm, but fortunately, being lazy and disorganised, he didn't cement his grip on power in the way a true dictator would have. What worries me is that our system still leaves us wide open to a potential dictator.

He should be behind bars, though...

Yes there are loads in prison who are far less guilty than Johnson. He should be locked up and forgotten.

The USA is getting Trump - we should do the same.

The only reason nothing is being done I reckon is for political reasons.

James O’Brien has been talking about this for the past hour, I reckon that he’ll continue to after 11 too.
It will be available on the Global Player app if anyone is interested

Trying to find it - what is the title anyone please?

Are you trying to find James?
I’ll see if I can find a link

Well I really have heard it all now about Boris. I watched the programme and was truly shocked and very saddened that our PM of the day thought it was OK to put his personal dodgy friendship above the highest advice of our formidable security services. Beggars belief. He needs to be held to account.

Whose James?

😄😄😄 oh James O’Brien - no not him the Johnson programme

Sorry, James OBrien.
I thought that you were replying to my comment directly above yours.
I knew that you sometimes listen to him.

It’s Dispatches on Channel 4

Thanks - I know it’s dispatches, but all I can get is about pensioners - do you know what the title was?

Its called Boris, the Lord and the Russian Spy

On 4+1 11.05 last night

Cheers will watch in a minute - just getting lunch.
