Starting To Feel Sorry For Boris.

[gulliver1]

On the 2nd JAN this year, Boris stood on the steps of Downing St, and announced with a double thumbs up sign........"This is going to be a fantastic year for Britain".......Little did he realise then, what was ahead.
Boris is not famous for his honesty,but that day he did not realise he was telling the biggest unintentional lie of his life.

"The silence is deafening as it no doubt will be here. "

There is, as they say, none so deaf ... (!)

Is TTT a nom-de-plume of Dominic Cummings or is he just the ultimate Boris fanboy?

Asking for a friend.

[ToraToraTora]

opinions, intentions etc that didn't work out. Next!

[THECORBYLOON]

When he said in the election debate that Corporation Tax is, "already the lowest in Europe”, which bit of that statement was an opinion or an intention that didn't work out?

[ToraToraTora]

It's generally the triumvirate that I was challenging here but I'm happy to add TCL, Doug and Ich to the LibFac hordes. FYI a lie is saying something that the sayer knows is an untruth. Failed predictions, underestimates, intentions, overestimates, plans etc are not lies.
" Is TTT a nom-de-plume of Dominic Cummings or is he just the ultimate Boris fanboy? " - I apply the same criteria all politicians. I rarely accused Agent Cob of lying for example, because he did the same as all politicians, spout dreams intentions, ideas, not actual lies.

[ToraToraTora]

"When he said in the election debate that Corporation Tax is, "already the lowest in Europe”, which bit of that statement was an opinion or an intention that didn't work out? " - it was a belief and like all figures compared across nations, subject to how they are calculated.

[THECORBYLOON]

He said, "Jeremy Corbyn … wouldn’t even stick up for this country when it came to the poisonings in Salisbury and actually seemed to side in that instance with Russia"

This was after Corbyn had said, "Either this was a crime authored by the Russian state; or that state has allowed these deadly toxins to slip out of the control it has an obligation to exercise. If the latter, a connection to Russian mafia-like groups that have been allowed to gain a toehold in Britain cannot be excluded.” He added: “The Russian authorities must be held to account on the basis of the evidence, and our response must be both decisive and proportionate."

What, in that statement by Corbyn, could have led any reasonable person to form the opinion expressed by Johnson?

[ToraToraTora]

it's an opinion and of course politicking.

[THECORBYLOON]

On Corporation Tax, from the link, "The UK’s corporation tax rate of 19 percent is not the lowest in Europe. As Full Fact noted, Ireland’s rate is 12.5 percent, Lithuania’s rate is 15 percent and Hungary’s is 9 percent"

I could understand his being a wee bit vague about the rates in Lithuania and Hungary but the country we border? Really?

[ToraToraTora]

he's bang on anyway, most left wingers hate this country and would always side with another state, especially Russia who they greatly admire.

[THECORBYLOON]

I'm what way did Corbyn appear to side with the Russians when making that statement?

[ToraToraTora]

he didn't say that the rate was the lowest in Europe, he said the corporation tax (amount of tax generally paid) is the lowest in Europe. In any case it's not a lie it's an opinion or possibly a belief.

[ToraToraTora]

who said he did?

[ToraToraTora]

the left wing and LibFacs all hate this country, it follows that they would always side with anyone but the UK.

[THECORBYLOON]

'Claim

Johnson told the BBC’s Andrew Marr that “Jeremy Corbyn wants to scrap MI5” and that the Labour leader has “said he would disband MI5”.'

Why was the Tory Party unable to provide proof of that claim?

[ToraToraTora]

tell you what TCL, come back when you have an example of an actual porky. I'm not saying BJ has never lied I just struggle to find any examples.

[ToraToraTora]

10:46, once again, opinions, beliefs based on the balance of probability it would seem:

interesting that TCL appears to have taken on Gulliver's cause! PMSL!

“We’re upgrading 20 hospitals and building 40 new ones. And you are going to say, oh, well, it’s only six. Actually, that’s not true”

If they ARE (not WILL BE) building forty new hospitals, where are the building sites?
