Bbc Boris Bias Conspiracy

[Gromit]

Our Gaffe prone Prime Minister managed to cock up laying flowers at the cenotaph yesterday by laying them upside down.

Fortunately a mix up at the BBC Breakfast News programme resulted not in yesterday footage of the embarrassing incident being broadcast. Instead the BBC broadcast an old clip of Boris as London Mayor laying his flowers properly.

Never attribute to conspiracy what can just as well be attributed to cock-up.

Well said jim, 15:59

Who cares about flowers being laid wrong. This is my biggest hang up with this election - too much discussion about who is racist and who is a Russian spy. What we really need is some serious discussion about strategies to combat the challenges we have on the horizon such as climate change, regulating AI, increasing automation of work, ageing population etc etc.

The trouble with talking about "real" things like adult social care, climate change, the effect of technology on work and leisure is that they're pretty "knotty". Also, some are expensive to sort out, which means increased taxation - someone has to pay. What much of the electorate wants is simplistic solutions to complex problems that don't cost us anything.

[GymLadTim]

drmorgans - you are right about that. People win election with simplistic soundbites. Our leaders have to be courageous enough to give us uncomfortable truths, unpopular truths and then maybe we will get somewhere.

[drmorgans]

I know it was more complex, but my impression of the 2017 election is that it was going okay for May then she started talking about people having to pay more for adult social care, which was quickly labelled a "dementia tax". She backtracked and said it would be capped but the damage had been done.

> Re spath: according to my Maths, May 2016 comes earlier in the year than November 2016.

You Cambridge maths types, always showing off with your superior abilities ...

//Oops, I just checked it's actually £13.50 sorry Emmie. //


Lol. Obviously a fellow Maths Pupil with Dianne Abacus.
Precisely why sensible people shrink in horror at what Labour can do to our economy. God forbid they get in.

I see the BBC have now apologised for showing the older clip of Boris , because he stepped out of line to early and laid the Wreath upside down on sunday, calling it a production mistake But why ??? . They should allow the public to see what sort of an incompetent fool that some people might vote for

[gulliver1]

Production Mistake my rse. Delete Boris making a fool of himself 10th nov 2019, insert a clip from Nov 2016, Why try and cover up for this incompetent Tory Fool ?.

[naomi24]

Gulliver the nonentity thinks Boris, our Prime Minister, a fool. :o)

[Theland]

Gulliver - would that really influence your voting preference?

Wow!

Speechless!

A hanging offence at the very least! Off with his head!

It's either a conspiracy by the right wing BBC to make Boris look good or a conspiracy by the left wing BBC to make Boris look bad.

It's either one or the other. I lose track of which. It depends on whose turn it is to wear the tin foil hat today.

It won't be, but THAT^^ should be Best Answer.
