Boris Now Gags The Press.......

[diddlydo]

If this doesn't worry many of you, what does?

[dannyk13]

So what, that is his prerogative.

[theshedman]

diddly have you ever thought of looking at a different paper as there are more than one and they are not all tory ones. You only ever seem to believe what is written in there whether it be true or not. Try to broaden your outlook and not be so tunnel visioned with everything.

[ToraToraTora]

poor diddly, you'll never last the next 10 years of Boris rule! PMSL!

[AuntPollyGrey]

Boris is a strong leader, his party with a huge majority. Some people are bad losers it seems.

[dannyk13]

He hasn't gagged the press, he has banned some photographers.

Nothing to see here, luckily Labour lost so no hint of Stalinist control freakery to be seen anywhere.

Move along now, no dawdling or you'll be off for re-education.

It must be terrible to be so full of hate

[aelmpvw]

i'm not desperate to see a photo of boris signing something ...

[sevenOP]

Focus is needed on 'substance', not 'image'.

[Old_Geezer]

Hardly gagging.

Shedman - the Torygraph and The Times have put up a paywall so I can't read those on line. I wouldn't want to stoop as low as the Daily Wail.

10.42 "Tunnel visioned" Pot & kettle come to mind.

It ain't Diddly that has to last the next 10 years , It's Boris , Hehe.

//It ain't Diddly that has to last the next 10 years , It's Boris , Hehe.//

well the government's majority means there's little chance of being unseated before the next election. what's the possibility of there being - and the tories losing - 80 by-elections? and in 5 years' time, what's the possibility that labour will have become electable by the time of the next election?

[Khandro]

These photographers (paparazzi) don't want to simply take a decent picture of the PM doing something constructive, they hope to catch him off guard looking silly in order to sell the photograph to editors only too eager to get something to ridicule him on their front pages.

Imagine how easy it would be to do the same to you if one followed you around your home for an hour or two.

[tamborine]

As newspapers can apply paywalls then why not our PM control his news outgoings.

[david small]

Congratulations diddly. You’ve achieved a constant moan award.

[gulliver1]

12.08 " They hope to catch him off guard looking silly" That shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[Khandro]

//That shouldn't be too much of a problem.//

It's quite a large problem if you can't get in.
