Johnson's lies ignored by the media.

[the other bob wilson]

It is a shame that won't get the exposure it deserves with the people who most depend on the NHS - the older voters who have fallen for the Tory lies and spin. The Peter Oborne piece is again right to the point:

Welcome to the Conservative party election campaign. I have been a political reporter for almost three decades and have never encountered a senior British politician who lies and fabricates so regularly, so shamelessly and so systematically as Boris Johnson. Or gets away with his deceit with such ease.

And on 'all politicians lie':

A big reason for Johnson’s easy ride is partisanship from the parts of the media determined to get him elected. I have talked to senior BBC executives, and they tell me they personally think it’s wrong to expose lies told by a British prime minister because it undermines trust in British politics. Is that a reason for giving Johnson free rein to make any false claim he wants?

Others take the view that all politicians lie, and just shrug their shoulders. But it’s not true that all politicians lie. Treating all politicians as liars gives a licence for the total collapse of integrity of British politics, a collapse that habitual liars such as Johnson are delighted to exploit. The British media is not holding him to account for his repeated falsehoods. It’s time we journalists did our job, and started to regain our self-respect.

Regarding that video Jon, I notice it's had 1.2 million views so, maybe, the message is getting across?

For me, what makes Oborne's article so convincing is that he admits he has voted Conservative for most of his life - this is not your "normal" Prime Minister and the days of the Tories being genteel old buffers who were "brought up the right way" are long gone - if they ever existed.
