Boris Caught Lying For The Umpteenth Time

[TheChair]

Rules about posting kippers are not from the EU but from the UK.

I personally think it says less about Boris and more about our incompetence as a government. Boris isn't working alone.. he has advisers etc.. People around him.

Kippergate - pass me an ice pack, I've got one of my heads.

[Peter Pedant]

both in the Times and Telegraph
you should write
a short letter
[email protected]

they had earlier in the week - if you cant measure it - you cant control it,
as first said by economist Drazen
I doubt it - it is the first law of control engineering - and Drazen must have dipped into one ( txtbk on control engineering)

I admit I was taken in by Boris honeyed words
the EU DOES have a standard for Cornish blotted cream - 60 or 80% fat - and the only ones producing clotted cream is - - - cornwall.

oops on the Beeb - 16 23
reality check - wrong wrong wrong

[TheChair]

//Boris isn't working alone.. he has advisers etc.//
In this particular case, according to his own words, his adviser was "the editor of a national newspaper".
3 guesses as to which one.

[Peter Pedant]

I agree The Chair
we pay the politicians to get it right

but the headline: "Boris is a damned liar again!"
" Tow haired full lipped Liverpool lover, Boris Johnson shocked the London population with a string of lies.....
'I would still vote for him again' said white haired pensioner Violet plonketty, 'there will come a time when he says SOMETHING which is true, but it may be a long wait - roll on Brexit!'

[Peter Pedant]

damn hanging clause (clausus pendente)
but the headline: "Boris is a damned liar again!" will hardly sell newspapers

I’d love to have Boris Johnson at a party. He would be fun. But I wouldn’t want him in charge of the country.

Come to think of it, I wouldn’t want him in charge of the party ... the food and drinks would be a disaster, and there would be no music, and he would be swearing blind that he definitely booked the DJ.

How anyone finds an ancient question to answer that has been dormant for 18 years is a puzzle

[fiction-factory]

Well i was on a different thread- never been on this one. Weird.

JJ

Boris would BE the DJ

Fratboy Slim ;o)

[Old_Geezer]

If so then it's poor investigating rather than lying. No one makes statements knowing they will be called out. Boris needs to consider who's investigating and putting together these claims. And his system of double checking. Doesn't change his status as best candidate to tackle exiting the EU, though.

[JF85]

"Doesn't change his status as best candidate to tackle exiting the EU, though."

Too right. Within 24 hours of taking up his new post he will tell us we have left the EU and they have agreed to pay us £350 million every week for life, regardless of clear evidence to the contrary.

Why not? It fits his pattern.

[Old_Geezer]

You have even more confidence in him than I.
Let's hope that you are right.

[ichkeria]

It’s “no investigating at all” I think you’ll find. Johnson makes it up as he goes along. Always has.

excellent, The Builder

surely Boris has not been lying for 18 y but much much longer
ter-saah ! - you know seeing that pigs head at Eton gave him the idea of a career telling - - porky pies !

[ichkeria]

He thinks the Isle of Man is in the EU evidently.
Nothing wrong with his grasp of detail, then
