He can tell as many lies as he likes, it makes no difference to those who voted for him.
I've seen some less than friendly reviews of his speech that mention that at least the jokes were funny - the man has never, intentionally, made me laugh in his life.
He’s vile isn’t he. Lie after lie, stupid 3 word slogans that mean nothing and now they are blaming everyone else for what’s gone wrong and taking credit for anything that goes right. History will prove that this idiot and his populist government will go down as the worst and most corrupt one ever.
There is a lot bad business and vile behaviour in politics and life .
Having a PM who is a racist, homophobic and misogynistic waanker must top it though?Quote:

The bloke's a massive cuunt. Anyone who thinks he has a shred of principle are massive deluded cuunts or just massive cuunts.
I'm not defending Boris just pointing out hatred/racism exists everywhere and that antisemitism effected Labour big time .Quote:

Extraordinary details of how Boris Johnson allegedly overruled the advice of staff to promote the business interests of his former lover Jennifer Arcuri and win her affections are revealed in previously unpublished diary extracts by the US businesswoman.
According to one entry, the then London mayor even offered to be her “throttle” in an attempt to accelerate her business career, claims that may reopen the possibility of Johnson facing a potential criminal investigation into misconduct allegations.
It's been a bad 10 days for The Clown. The Tory press will excuse most things but they generally get stuck in around stories like this and blatant corruption. The Mail have been all over Johnson in recent weeks (not in a good way for him) and even that arse licking pile of pointless pixels and paper, The Express, has turned - at least for now.
That said it only needs the No 10 press office to chuck out a distraction and the news hounds will be off sniffing something else. Although the Tory backbenchers and power brokers may have longer memories.
It's the Tory back benchers and the 'Men in Grey suits' he has to fear. He apparently has no great power base in the Tory party so it is his election winning ability coupled with the fact that he has always seemed to have a Teflon coating that deflected problems away from himQuote:

Looks like the Daily Mail may be returning to the Paul Dacre era slavish love-in with the Tory Party and the Compo In Charge

Shame. Always interesting to see the Mail do a bit of 'journalism'.
Unlike the Telegraph (Tory Party in print) and Express (weather, royals and Boris adoration) the Mail has occasionally pushed stories and campaigns you wouldn't expect - like the Justice For Stephen Lawrence campaign - but that was really a case of the exception proving the rule. But the last 3 years have been a bit more off the historical script.
I was struck by thier campaigns via the Mail Force charity it donated £ 11.7 million ( 40 million pieces of PPE for Covid ) even back in 75 it got involved in airlifting Vietnamese orphans from SaigonQuote:

Nothing wrong with papers supporting parties, but not in the slavish way editors like Dacre do it.
At their best the conservative leaning papers do far more damage than those on the left when they do their proper job and hold the government to account for their failings.
The Government can to an extent afford to ignore papers like the Mirror and Guardian when they get criticised.
Much harder to ignore those papers which are probably reflecting the views of their supporter as well.
