a funny wee extract This week the Conservatives did something truthful, albeit unintentionally. It tells you something about the Tories that the only time that they’ve managed to do something truthful and accurate in this campaign is when they’ve done so by accident. They released an online video of Boris Johnson based on a scene in Love Actually. In the advert, Johnson loiters in a dark alley at night in order to send covert messages to a married woman, while telling her to keep the fact she’s seeing him a secret from her husband. It’s the first believable image of his campaign. Although what the Tories might not wish us to remember is that in the movie, the woman chooses her husband, not the creepy stalker guy who stands outside her house with placards. . The placards didn’t say, although they should have, that 88% of what Boris Johnson says is a lie, and the rest is racist abuse. They didn’t say, “I might be your dad.” Neither did the placards proclaim that the deliberately tousled one is a habitual liar who hides from proper scrutiny, although that would have been true. They didn’t say that the forty new hospitals are as mythical as the £350 million extra a week for the NHS that was written on the side of the Leave campaign bus. They didn’t say that there would indeed be customs checks between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. They didn’t say that Brexit won’t get done by the end of January even with a majority Tory government. They didn’t say “Don’t tell Andrew Neil that I’m here.” . a v,good read most could agree with . https://weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2019/12/10/boris-johnson-is-88-lies-the-rest-is-just-nasty/ .
Got a link to the video? As you are describing a different one to the one I saw earlier on this thread
It's all getting a bit desperate towards the end..... BREXIT agreed.... then SNP will go into over drive.... 96% of the us will see a wee bit on the MSN type news... 100% of us will have to put up with all our threads being full of IT..... But at the end if the day.... we all really know how it's going to end. Soz Finderman.... x
don't apologise, i have seen you post worse. its quite amusing, cute even, to see how blind some are to a win win situation. you'll learn.
I see that the major parties and the MSM have all been successful in focusing your minds on ephemera and away from the nature of the Political Declaration and Withdrawal Agreement. In two years, three years, five years time, when the UK is still an EU rule-taker, remember to ask yourselves, "How the Hell did that happen?". You get the Goverment you deserve. Always.
If the hospitals chief medical officer saw anything at all of the whole incident I would be amazed. The first she would have known about it was from the news articles the same as us so she then had to touch her forelock.
For a man who ran a successful business and has just retired early quite comfortably I'm astonished you don't have more empathy for the conservative party. To be honest I get where you're coming from. I live in a fairly affluent village with a greater proportion of wealthy retired inhabitants and all of a sudden a good majority of them appear to have a gained a social conscience and the labour banners are appearing outside their mansions.
Ah, the old Hollywood Actor Syndrome. "Capitalism has been good to me over the years. It's time now that everyone gave something back."
I've met a great deal of Americans, and no one will convince me that they deserve the BFOC, together with a few hundred million others. They were good people.
I’ve always tried to look after people, because if you don’t have good people then you don’t have a good business. I’m now concerned about the world my grandchildren will inherit.
