Respected journalist brands Boris a 'liar' !!!

Even David Dimbleby has now castigated Boris a 'liar' !!!

David Dimbleby brands Boris Johnson a 'liar'


David Dimbleby has launched a scathing attack on Boris Johnson, branding him a 'liar' and accusing him of "apeing" Donald Trump.

The comments come as part of an interview with Germany's ARD state TV channel though some were not broadcast and were later obtained from a transcript by the Daily Mail.

In the comments broadcast by ARD, veteran broadcaster Dimbleby said: "The BBC is under threat in a way it has never been before. The pernicious route they [the Government] are using is to say the licence fee is wrong or unfair. I don't believe it is wrong or unfair."

But comments that reportedly appeared in the transcript went one step further, with Dimbleby saying: "Nobody trusts Boris Johnson. Who could trust Boris Johnson? He lies everywhere to everyone. He lies to his family. He just makes it up, you know."

He also accused the Prime Minister of "apeing" Donald Trump's attitudes.

Dimbleby's comments are the latest chapter in an ongoing stand-off between the government and the BBC, which on Friday saw senior Tory MP Huw Merriman criticise the "ideological trench warfare" against the BBC.

The Government is already consulting on proposals to decriminalise non-payment of the licence fee and ministers have suggested it could be abolished altogether when the BBC's charter comes up for renewal in 2027.

But comments revealed last week also suggested that Downing Street wants to replace the licence fee with a subscription model, sparking a backlash.

Merriman, who is chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on the BBC, also blamed top aide Dominic Cummings – seen as the driving force for the move – for a "nasty streak" running through Downing Street.

His criticism of Cummings was echoed by Dimbleby in his ARD interview, when he reportedly said: "Johnson's never governed anything, Cummings has never governed anything. They're ignorant...floundering. I don't think they have a strategy."

 

So, government wants to scrap the socialist TV license fee, and this "respected journalist" is having a whinge

 

It is a verified fact Johson is an untrustworthy liar.

 

So...a politician.

 

Hope you too see that as a funny exaggeration. You could also say: So... humans, and be just as right.

 

Sorry, I just can't bring myself to believe any of them. A little government, like a little luck, are necessary in life but only a fool trusts either of them.

 

Well, you shouldn't trust them blindly. But if all politicians were corrupt and/or untrustworthy things would be even more fucked. As long as we talk in generalities or don't closely follow (even one segment of) politics (like not even local), its easy to perceive and portray it as such.

 

They take vast sums of money from entities far more powerful than the electorate and have a monopoly on using deadly force. So I don't trust them.

Local politics is a little better in the sense that it's easier to keep an eye on them. Also a better chance of actually knowing your representatives or whatnot. A guy I know on the county board got my road paved and it didn't even take that long.

 

Dice

LOL but you are on a politics forum discussing politics – YOU ARE A POLITICIAN – are you an untrustworthy liar?

Sorry but to me the whole argument that – they are all the same – is a war on democracy, as in why bother with democracy because ‘they’ are all liars and cheats.

Thing is that if you don’t want liars and cheats in office don’t vote them there. People get the politicians they deserve if they vote in liars and cheats they are going to get liars and cheats.

 

Not really.

I agree.

 

So, don't vote for politicians that lie

Explains why no one voted for Labour

 

Go troll your mom dude. Johnson is verifiable the most blatant liar in current british politics.

 

Let’s see

If we had elections by popular vote the Tories would have lost as they only got 43% of the popular vote Labour got 32.2% but the Lib Dems got 11.5 and SNP 3.9 and Greens 2.7 all of which would have joined a left leaning coalition which would have had just over 50% of the vote.

As I’ve said before there hasn’t been a legitimately popular government in power in the UK since 1931
