Why does Boris Johnson lie all the time?

[catinstalbans]

You have to ask. Why does he do it?
So easily disproved by national organisations.

Then there is Priti Patel claiming that the government has always been ahead of the curve.
Late with PPE
Too late with the first lockdown
Late with test and trace which still isn't working-supposed to be world beating by June 1
Late with the decision on this year's exam results
Late with the second lockdown
Late to act on London's rising case numbers
Late to act on Christmas

If you don't think these lies matter when thousands have died then what does it say about you?

To be honest this forum says an awful lot more about you than it does the majority of posters...shall I say you are very well thought of or shall I say the truth.
That said I do agree that the lies, u turns, corruption and overall dishonesty of this govt are astounding.

 

[tangerine_neil]

You do realise that being late isn’t a lie?

You do realise that Boris doesn’t actually count the lorries himself. He asks for the figures. Someone has to request it. Then it goes into his briefing report, which needs signing off. Then he reads it later in the day. As we see with any equivalent road block or accident, the numbers rise very quickly.

Other than that, this just becomes another agenda driven hate rant.

He probably can't help it. Bit like you can't. Two peas in a pod.

Cat. Your post the other day where you said one type of protest was morally justified but another not was a bit of an eye-opener. This thread continues in that vein. Very dodgy ground - only a hop, skip and a jump from thinking oneself as sole occupier of the moral high ground and the gulag imo.

174-900 it’s near enough.

 

[tangerine_neil]

I can just see it now:

BJ:
One lorry...
Two lorries...
Three lorries...
Four lorries...
Five lorries.

Aide:
Excuse me Prime Minister, we’ve got the EU on the phone....

BJ: Oh, bugger. Where was I?
One lorry...

Another 2,500 expected into the country in the next 48 hours.

Dianne Abbot was passing and phoned Boris with the total.

 

[Loftyboy]

He's a politician none of them lie they just don't tell the truth how the rest of us know it

Change the f*cking record, cat!

You do realise that in all aspects of his life he is a proven liar.

Find me one politician who hasn’t lied and I’ll vote for them, thanks.

The o/p was misleading propaganda as usual.

John Le Carre summed it up well having taught at Eton in the 50’s. To paraphrase “ I’ve taught hundreds of Johnsons they don’t teach them to govern they teach them to win (at any cost)”

Nope. The OP was correct. Boris IS a pathological liar. As are the rest of his useless cohorts. History will mark them down as the most incompetent government in living memory.

Yes, Corbyn would have been (far) worse.

Starmer? Who knows, we'll find out next ....

 

[tangerine_neil]

No. It was trying to make out he lied over the number of lorries which was clearly changing by the minute and the equivalent of counting a flock of birds.

No better than having a go at him because he’s overweight, slovenly with unruly hair.
All a bit desperate.

As a man he is a natural liar, not to be trusted. He is worse than most politicians, but I think there are backbenchers both red and blue that are generally honest.

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

He is a duplicitous conniving man who would do anything to manoeuvre himself into a position of power, including changing his 'opinion' on Brexit but on this occasion I think he has been given a figure and just regurgitated it without any intent to deceive.

 

[EPM46]

He is a liar, a cheat, an unscrupulous chancer, an ex Bullingdon Boy etc etc. If you think that makes him fit to be our PM, it says as much about those on here who support him as anything else!

 

[Tangojoe]

Starmer? Who knows, we'll find out next ....

You think so?

 

[Giro]

He only ever lies when his lips are moving.

 

[Davepick]

Also BoJo is beginning to feel the strain. Look at him now.

 

[Scratcher67]

You think so?

It's possible, if he manages to build a better team around him in the next few years.

One things for sure, it won't be Boris he has to beat by then.

 

[dodgy_surname]

He loves himself more than his country, total **

 

[Macseasider]

Whatever your political persuasion - you'd do well to defend Boris Johnson being the biggest bullshitter in the history of the House.
