Why Europe’s new populists tell so many lies – and do it so shamelessly | Catherine Fieschi

The torrent of lies that flows from the mouths of populists feels relentless: from Donald Trump’s routine lying about everything from Iran to the weather, to Boris Johnson’s fictitious £350m for the NHS, Turkey on the cusp of joining the EU or most sensationally misleading the Queen about why the UK parliament should be shut down.

Hahaaa...Guardian of the Globalists

Europe's populists must have been watching the European Commission. They've lied to subsequent generations since the 60s.

That’s populists in general and it’s because they need to craft a narrative for people to have a reason to follow them.

People are stupid.

Because publications like yours have lied so blatantly and for so long they know everyone is just gonna follow party lines cos you can’t trust much of anything

Populism is just a kinder word for fascism. Fascism is built on a foundation of lies.

that photo is from the rally in Milan on May 18th I have translated al the speeches, it was awesome

now do the gender pay gap

Well that’s fucking terrifying

Trump likes these people. The CPC government likes these people, too. The Putin administration likes these people, too.

Trump loves these people. The communist government likes these people, too. Mr Putin's government likes them, too.

That's rich, coming from the Guardian

Not as many as many as the comrades in the UK’s Labour Party, although I don’t think most of them have ever laboured too much!

Excellent article...one thing that seems to have enabled the lying is an absolute refusal to apologize or be embarrassed about any scandal...which would normally when discovered scupper things...see Donald Trump's scandals and incompetence in the US

This is not only in Europe. And they do it because information and facts were hand in hand in the past but nowadays anyone can say any thing, by any mean, and this becomes a fact. And people don’t do or care enough for the search of the truth in things. Better to pass to others

There is no truth in politics. Only rhetoric. Why spin the lie that there can ever be truth in a complex human world. This is the lie that sells newspapers only. If you want truth to rule the world you need to create one then eliminate the opposition. Oh wait! 🤔

A very good article, thank you Ms. CFieschi!

The irony is not wasted

coming from the guardian ....hahahahahahahahahahha you cant make it up!

Because the media lets them get away with it.

Oh dear

Love the irony of this coming from the guardian!
