Why doesn't this leftie overpaid football pundit just stick to his job. He is mixing with the wrong people, totally gullible and out of his depth in a car park puddle. This ridiculous conspiracy is pure malicious spite. I hope the BBC have words. They are in enough trouble with the Coutts lies and spin. Do they really need adverse publicity by association with this overpaid gob on a stick?


Like this Labour idiot Chris Bryant. God help us if this easily duped shadow minister ever served in a government

I'd query the 'useful' part of his description.

I saw this and found it very odd. It appears both are saying they were duped, but surely anyone with half a brain checks out who is in the driving seat and the reasons behind any interview?

Linekar, ok, just a man that was good at chasing an inflated pigs bladder around some grass and probably doesnt have sufficient widescope intellect but Bryant is potentially a Government Minister!

And dont both of them have a PR team, or at least access to one?

Spiteful, ignorant people abound ... unfortunately.

If some left wing conspiracy theorist can so easily dupe a MP how would the Russian secret service do ? Talk about a security risk. I wonder if flip flop has anything to say about this

It's all too common that celebrities can get suckered into appearing in things that are, shall we say, less than flattering to them. But it depends on what they were told beforehand about it as to whether they were "idiots" or not. Sometimes they can enter in good faith but were simply lied to, or misled -- and we can't always legislate against that.

As for the "documentary" itself -- well, I suppose it was inevitable that the allegation that Johnson was faking his illness would be made, it's surely been circling since Day One. Complete garbage, anyway.

AH
Unfortunately he is useful to his left wing puppet masters and is too witless to realise.

If they can be manipulated then they will be considered idiots by their manipulator. And those aghast at them likely to think the same.

[ToraToraTora]

less of the useful!

[Togo]

They were both so blinded by the fervent wish that it was true that they left no consideration of the veracity. Now of course, after their cant is exposed, they are rowing back and loading the excuses for themselves. Vile creatures.

At what point in any of that gumph do Lineker or Bryant claim Boris Johnson was lying?
