to wonder what Boris Johnson replied to when "Putin said he could send a missile to kill him in a minute"

Was it a diplomatic reply?

A bit of reference to Latin or Greek myths?

Or a "Well, yeah, but our missiles are bigger than yours and so can I so there"

.i hope he didnt say go on then

cakeorwine · 30/01/2023 07:42

Of course, if Putin says he didn't say that, then who to believe?

A liar who invaded Ukraine
Or Boris Johnson

Tough one.
I'd have a hard time believing Johnson if he told me the time.

Aren't these telephone conversations recorded?

More interested in why Boris Johnson has chosen this morning to blab about it.
A) Dead cat.
B) Wants Zahawi's job.

I , for one , don't believe a single word the lying Old Etonian Tory scumbag says !!

YogaLite · 30/01/2023 09:35

I don't know why BoJo wants to come back if he is getting more dosh when being away from the cabinet seems to pay more..??

CalistoNoSolo · 30/01/2023 09:40

It's total BS.. Never happened.

Thems the breaks . ?

DuncinToffee · 30/01/2023 09:46

Asked him for a loan, donation?

EzzieM · 30/01/2023 09:54

It’s not a surprise that Johnson is still churning out non-stop press releases to journalists trying to look relevant but journalists PLEASE stop cut and pasting them into your websites as ‘news’. There is nothing new about “Boris Johnson wants attention.”

🥱

A liar who invaded Ukraine

Or Boris Johnson, a liar who didn't invade Ukraine?

BBC documentary on Ukraine, actually.

I'm curious as to what language this was supposedly spoken in, and if translators were used.

And yes, these calls are recorded for national security purposes. So it seems an odd lie. But then they are both very strange men.

ElsieSpanner · 30/01/2023 10:11

Even if it is true, as Johnson has lost his credibility in terms of truthfulness it makes me think of the old story of 'The boy who cried wolf'

Thruandthru1 · 30/01/2023 10:15

He probably guffawed.

nancy75 · 30/01/2023 10:18

It comes to something when we would believe a murderous, war mongering maniac over a former British PM - but here we are and I have to say if Vlad denied it I would be inclined to believe him over Boris.

Was Putin claiming to have a missile which would take out Boris and leave the rest of us standing? Is it for sale? I would happily make a contribution.

paintitallover · 30/01/2023 11:10

He is always looking for an opportunity to get himself in the headlines, for self promotion purposes. I imagine he's lying, too; he usually is.

limitedperiodonly · 30/01/2023 11:19

I imagine Putin might say something like this. He also might not say it but just do it anyway. I also know it's the kind of thing Johnson would say to make himself the star of the documentary.

I'm surprised he didn't add the detail that Vlad was stroking a white Persian cat at the time.

@Orangu you big meanie. People love their conspiracy theories that they think make them smarter than the rest of us but in fact prove the opposite. Don't spoil it for them. Or us.

Probably why he keeps borrowing tons of cash!!

Not a guarantee for BJ. He’s got form for sneaking off to have conversations with Russians.

Hoppinggreen · 30/01/2023 11:31

Come at me bro?

batterseaparkfireworks · 30/01/2023 13:07

I wouldn't believe anything Johnson says. Proven liar and serial cheater.
