One man’s lie, is another man’s truth I’m afraid Bob, I personally don’t like or abide lies and lie tellers, it doesn’t make it a lie if the truth is bent a little, ergo it doesn’t make it the truth if it’s a little bent either.
Remember a lie will always be found out, but the truth is always the truth.
I will take you word for that mate. Doesnt make any sense to me. If someone lies on national tv, which he has done numerous times then that's a lie. He hasn't bent the truth he has blatantly lied. I really really struggle to understand a decent honest person accepting this and even supporting it. Suppose I'm in a minority and I should just accept being lied to by a corrupt government.

To be quite honest, I got over brexit the day after Boris johnson got in. Like even our right wing friends on here, they knew he was lying but it doesnt bother them. What bothers me now, is that the lies come near enough on a daily basis and these lies have actually cost lives. The admiration and support, or even just playing them down as mistakes, quite frankly disgusts me. Its cowardly and weak to support a liar. It's just wrong and sets the whole basis for society. Lying is fine, you get rewarded for lying. You get what you want if you lie. No wonder we have such a problem with crime and corruption in this country!

something I can’t get passed is you vote on what a party tells you they are going to do, what they can offer. If you know you’re being lied to, what exactly are you voting for?

Come in mate. Doesn’t it stink of corruption to you ? Like when Thatcher protected Morrison......totally corrupt (in fact that old **** was worse ‘cos she protected a child abuser)...and let’s not forget Blair and his WMD in Iraq and the murder of David Kelly....the whole lot of them are corrupt.

It’s just some are so blind they cannot see it
To be honest Staines he hasn’t been found guilty of doing anything wrong with that bird. If he is found guilty then he will answer. Until then it’s all hearsay and people accusing him.
 
Oh dear this idiot keeps coming out with the Gaffs. 4 more years for Trump me thinks.

Democratic White House candidate Joe Biden is in damage limitation mode after saying African Americans "ain't black" if they even consider voting for President Donald Trump over him.

Yeah this is the American politics story to focus on.
 
Okay will try something else...
Oh dear the lefty mob are shouting into their cornflakes this morning wanting Cummings to resign because he drove to his parents to self isolate so his parents would look after the kids? Something that loads have done.
Non starter move on.
No actually you all debate and cry about it all day while I pop over to the Father-in-laws.

I think we should all self isolate.
 
It is. Just seems an odd topic to pick up on amongst all the possible stories you could have in American politics right now.
No this is the politics thread. Just because you want to spend your life Boris bashing spending all day talking Coronavirus Doesn’t mean the rest of us do. You will be turning the footy threads into Covid threads if people don’t stop you.

Yeah you can **** off with this apologist bollocks.

He had Corona
He drove 260 miles there and back so had to have stopped
He visited his elderly parents and even if he didn’t get close to them he’s dropped his kid off who he’s been in a car with for hours.
It was in the middle of a lockdown where thousands haven’t been able to see their parents, spouses and kids for the last time but you want this to go away quietly. Proper **** move.

People can talk about Biden if they want. As I said, for someone offended at being described as right wing in the middle of a Trump horror show it’s a strange choice to pick out a Biden story.

Maybe he wanted to infect his parents?
