ferrifrump baffoon!

Fuzzysongman Crikey that must have been a bumper edition.

ferrifrump Which one?

Yawn......can you please leave the EU - brexiting is talking about leaving but just not leaving.

So the Telegraph is happy to pay someone to write lies.

ferrifrump Hahaha

Well, if fact-based conclusions must be used, then we should just forget Brexit. Seems awfully unfair, though.

Just goes to show that Brexit was just a collection of lies that keep on coming from Johnson & co, time to have another vote now that the lies from both sides are clear and let’s vote on specifics not maybes

Boris Johnson not known for his honesty,as in his slanderous the reporting of the Hillsborough disaster,the Brexit campaign and many others.Typical Tory MP a stranger to the truth.

So sweeping generalisation is the new speak for something which is not true

London ES latest poll and only 40% of Londoners voted leave interesting

Who does Boris Johnson think he is? Only Donald Trump is permitted to lie with impunity!

Even the Telegraph admits it now 😂😂 “suggested that claims in Johnson’s column should not be taken seriously ........and could not be reasonably read as a serious, empirical, in-depth analysis of hard factual matters”. Isn’t the same true of everything he says or writes?

The main defence seems to be: '[Boris Johnson] is entitled to make sweeping generalisations based on his opinions'. They actually said that!

Johnson should be wearing an orange jumpsuit from a correctional facility.

Exaggerations like this are also part of the Murdoch playbook

Trump and those pesky Russians tho’ eh?eh?

exactly the same claim Nigel_Farage made on dailypolitics
