Yes, there were people in the world who knew Boris is a liar. Unfortunately, we didn't get a say in him becoming PM. It was the people who knew what he was like that got him in. Same with Truss and Sunak. They're all corrupt.

Listening to Fabricant on this morning's Today programme .....unmentionable!

Because they're biased to any current cabinet. In the last general they broadcast Alan Sugar telling people not to vote for Labour the night before elections, but Linnaker criticizing a specific policy was deemed unacceptable. Hypocrisy to a T.

Yep it’s been all Boris backers and Telegraph contributors mostly, well his mate is still in charge at the bbc.

The BBC is supposed to be Independent, but that relies on the government not abusing its de facto power to control it. However, the modern right wing has realized that it can abuse its powers without limit, so what's left of the independent BBC is running scared of being shut down if it stands up to the Tories.

Agreed. What a shower!

.....yep....he is culpable for the disastrous lockdown and it's repercussions to the vulnerable in our society...no doubt about that...totally agree

One of the most memorable passages from The Great Gatsby. And, yes, like you, those words often come to my mind when I survey the damage wreaked upon the country by this cohort of venal crooks and liars - the Tory party and their powerful enablers.

He’s a millionaire but the British taxpayers are paying for his legal expenses, that’s exactly why I keep saying that the British political system is completely corrupt. This shouldn’t be happening in a true democracy but as I say it’s pure corruption at the highest level of government.

Exactly. O'Brien joined in willingly with Carl Beech's lies and should (by your logic) be in prison.

But even with this simplified example it can still result in a subjective debate as to what constitutes rain. There are various definitions as to the separation between rain and drizzle, let alone other precipitation types e.g. when does sleet become rain in both a spatial and temporal context? If I say it was raining when I looked out the window, is it still raining now? If there's rain out my window, what's to say there's rain on the other side of the building. What duration does it need to rain for it to be considered raining? Over how large an area should it rain for it to be considered raining? Even if such specific, and likely impractical, definitions were agreed upon, by simply looking out of the window, it is unlikely that objective evidence to satisfy rigorous definitions would be practical to obtain. For example, one definition between the cutoff between rain and drizzle is that the drops should be larger than 0.5mm. Is it possible to determine this objectively by looking out the window? This may seem ridiculous, but these differences become magnified when the issues under discussion are emotions and beliefs that warp apparent 'facts'. In the end, journalism should attempt to portray a 'balanced' view of the beliefs and equip its audience with the tools to make their own 'objective' opinion knowing that even then our inherent biases will taint our perceptions. Unfortunately due to other inherent human biases, e.g. confirmation bias, the long-known truth that a media outlet's audience tend to cluster around certain demographic, political and social stereotypes and a leaning of most outlets towards a certain inclination, it is far less profitable to provide a balanced presentation of the opinions ... Best to get your news from a number of different sources; not only within your own country but from others who have less 'skin in the game' ... Anyone can say it's raining - chances are it is somewhere at some time ... Anyone can tell their truths which is to another a lie. Anyone can lie, which to another person becomes their truth.

​@@DarkHelixiaExcept that it isn't the journalists job to determine the weather. It is to report the facts from the people who study it. When they print opinion as fact, they are deliberately misleading the public.

BBC have given voices to numerous loons today who support Boris . Just like they have to give 50/50 balance when it comes to the Russian invasion of Ukraine , they always have to give Russias lies and propaganda, similar weight. Why ?

That sounds lovely but journalism is about selling advertising and getting paid. 📰💩💩💩🇬🇧🤦‍♂️💩

​@stephenbain389 yeah there is never any responsibility taken for anything at all

I think the vast majority of the tories have a personality disorder to be honest, people like them are not normal with the amount of lies and gaslighting they undertake and constantly deny.

Johnson comes from the establishment going back centuries. Not new, only know.

Any political view not as left wing as Chairman Mao is right wing listening to O'Brien.

Where do you think your right wing crazies learned their tactics? 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇲😉😉🤪

Trump and Johnson are both "advised" by Steve Bannon.

Crony corruption is as old as civilization itself. As long as there’s been the accumulation of wealth, there’s been government and civil corruption.

Bullying people, you mean? O' Brien and Johnson are both trash.

Really? He seems to be advocating the abolition of a free press to me.

​@@grahamheathcote5914 No, he's advancing the argument that you debate facts, not if facts actually exist. Johnson is a liar. He got booted for lying. He is no more the victim of a conspiracy than someone driving 130 mph along a flat road past a speed camera.

​@@grahamheathcote5914 How in any way is he suggesting that? JoB is saying that we shouldn't allow objectively, flagrantly, morally bankrupt crooks any airtime. This applies to all parties, just so happens the Tories are stacked to the rafters with 'em.

and what do truth and eloquence do to change anything? We all knew this was going to happen, so telling us what we already know isn't productive. we need public unrest.

@@grahamheathcote5914 Then you need to go back to school and learn how to think.

yeah wait until Labour win the election, then it'll get shockingly worse

Actually, his optimism is rather sickening. Now matter how bad it is, I tell you, it can always get worse. And if the Tories are willing to sink this low, they'll be willing to sink even lower.

Johnson will coast on a wave of right wing media until the wave has dried up.

Yes these guys were his collaborators and just as guilty

Boris Johnson is now completely discredited and yet they are seemingly going ahead with his disgusting and ridiculous honours list. This just proves my life long belief that the British Political System is completely corrupt to the core and while the corruption continues it always will be unfortunately for the British people and taxpayers.

The honours list of this awful man should be torn up immediately, and the would-be recipients should be investigated by the police

I expect the Israelis will get her when she's outlived her use. And I mean this seriously. Check out her mysterious half hidden husband

No compassion no integrity out of her depth completely

As yet , give it time

Most of all BJ lies to himself , so very sad and pathetic.

This is mostly because Boris Johnson has made it seem normal to lie at all times and the rest of the Tories have seen just how he’s never held to account or made to face any consequences for his downright lies. So people like Braverman are just copying him and the more that do this just makes the situation even worse in a democracy.

Many of the “ordinary people” who fall into group two are, I believe, victims of gaslighting on a grand scale.

Why is the automatic presumption that because I don't like the state of something I have to leave? What about trying to change it to make it better? I didn't vote for the lying windbag that is Borris Johnson.

The difference is that Boris is massively charismatic and entertaining whereas Trump is a dud.

..."a smaller version...."?

@@patrickgray6571 Smaller in scale since things are REALLY out of control over here and we also have nutbags armed to the teeth.

@@zippymufo9765 Trump's followers are extremely entertained by Trump and find him charismatic-that's why they are a cult! Boris is MUCH smarter than Trump, though.

The analogy with Billy Bunter MUST have come from a sub-concious confusion between the two. Younger people probably don't know who BB was though.

There need to be an end to personal ownership of the big media companies and newspapers, The billionaires and their owner corporations should be forced to sell shares to create minority shareholders. All corporate lobbying should be registered and openly listed for shareholders so all the fake news/stats they generate and mony spent can be sourced . No MP should be allowed second jobs or to receive any second income they weren't receiving before elected or any income above Average Wage. I cant see it happening but their assets should be seized while in office and returned with interest at deposit account rate when they leave office. Too many are working with hedge funds that bet against the economy. They should not be allowed any gifts meals or trips that are not gov or self funded. The BBC should outsource its news to independents and rotate their input. It should focus politically not on balance but on holding politicians to account. Ideally it should rag every poltician to the limit whether opposition of govt, If any have too much in their wallet we should know about it.

The British media is overwhelmingly controlled by the Tories and is undoubtedly pro Tory. They are nothing more than a propaganda machine for the Tories and they don’t deal with facts, they deal with misinformation, disinformation, falsehoods and downright lies. Please everyone don’t believe the British media, think for yourself on the facts involved in all the issues, as the media are biased and against people thinking critically on the true facts.

The biggest problem is those that know they are lying, are then condemned to the same fate as the idiots that voted for the liars.

Too many people want to believe the lies even when they know, because the lies affirm life long beliefs.

Too many people know Boris Johnson is lying but have calculated that it isn't in their best interests to say so. The colleagues, who got cabinet roles and peerages. The journalists, terrified of losing their readership. Johnson is enabled, not by the true believers, but by the scared, unprincipled enablers.
