People keep calling Boris but they are repeating it like a parrot they never say what he's lied about. What hasn't he lied about, to write in a diary of the lies has told, the diary would be as thick as War and Peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Then it's time they were held accountable, especially when it comes down to important issues like a manifesto or a referendum when we have to trust what they tell us. Boris however is in a league of his own. He's already been sacked from two jobs for barefaced lying, and when someone is in charge of a country I would have hoped for some attempt at honesty at least. The drinks party debacle shows Boris as a liar in deeds as well as words, and a man with no honour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

briret 9 #42 Posted January 14, 2022 The Conservative party should hold their heads in shame they knew exactly what Boris is and that is a liar. Yet they voted him as the leader of the party , and by doing that they have belittled the the proud traditions and achievements of previous leaders. We are all diminished when our democracy is devalued by politicians like Boris who is a self serving egotist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

At the same time the Tories are removing the social services which are there to assist people during hardship. We are much nearer to Fascism than Socialism I'm not aware of any restrictions here in the UK that are not being applied by dozens of other countries in response to a certain international state of emergency. Of course, if you want to blame one political party in one country for that, fill your boots. As for social services, you seem to dramatise this situation as though they are removing all. Rather, they just don't have the imaginary money tree Labour likes to think it has, and have to limit spending to what is achievable.

There was of course a Labour Golden money tree, which was coppiced by Gordon Brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
