No shit Sherlock. Hope he gets more than a slap on the wrist the damage he's done.

They can take Farage with him. He can use his euro pension to pay the court fees.

Hoolahoophop · 29/05/2019 13:16

I suspect he will get away with it. But am glad to see someone wants him held accountable for the lies he has told.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 29/05/2019 13:16

It'd be easier to count the times he was honest and truthful.

Self-serving, power-crazed venal shitbag.

Politicians - if they're mouth is open they're lying

flumpybear · 29/05/2019 13:17

*their ... stupid autocorrect... also a politician

I'm aghast at the total impunity the Brexiter crooks have enjoyed so far. I'll be pleasantly surprised if any of them are ever brought to justice. (Btw there's a reason why Johnson's crony Darius Guppy is still a household name: it's because white collar criminals of that social rank hardly ever go to gaol.)

Love it. If I had the spare cash I'd contribute to the crowd fund.

CatsWearingHats · 29/05/2019 13:22

He could get a prison sentence apparently. Hopefully that means he will never be able to be PM.

I also with Farage would fuck off back under his rock.

Wow, this is brilliant, he's definitely going to court! Hopefully this will 'Stop Boris' once and for all.

Now we just have to sort out Raab, McVey etc.

x2boys · 29/05/2019 14:46

Politicians in all.parties lie in not sure why this is such a surprise to people ?

Justanotherlurker · 29/05/2019 14:56

Politicians can actually be put on trial for lying now? Because if what Boris said during the referendum campaign qualifies, then surely nearly every MP should be in court. Which I'm not necessarily opposed to tbh.

I don't think this prosecution will go anywhere, but I wouldn't mind seeing politicians held to account when they lie. We wouldn't accept that from any other profession

DuckWillow · 29/05/2019 15:01

I am so glad that this self serving duplicitous scumbag is going to be hauled before a court to explain himself,

Not before time.

recrudescence · 29/05/2019 15:06

The court case will come to nothing. His supporters will regard him as a persecuted Brexiteer hero. I suspect he’s pretty pleased with this development.

BlueSkiesLies · 29/05/2019 15:08

I contributed a bit of cash to this

lyralalala · 29/05/2019 15:09

I think being a proven liar is a qualification for being up for being Tory leader. Him, Esther McVey (apparently you can get caught lying to parliament and still be in the running for PM), Gove... It's just a mess.

BlueSkiesLies · 29/05/2019 15:09

Politicians - if they're mouth is open they're lying

It used to be spin. And a fair bit of manisfeto was accurate.

Not it is just out and out fucking bullshit, outrageous, misleading populist lies.

GeorgiaTrotmansParachute · 29/05/2019 15:09

If he is found guilty then I sincerely hope there is then a further case to recover the millions upon millions of wasted public money spent on trying to effect Brexit from the coffers of him and his cronies.

longwayoff · 29/05/2019 15:18

Bozza lied? Well, who knew? I thought it was compulsory in his job.

mabelsgarden · 29/05/2019 15:20

If this means he cannot be PM, thank fuck for that!

CatsWearingHats · 29/05/2019 15:23

I'm sure on the news I saw a flash of paperwork where he was refuting it and said he wasn't saying facts.

OP posts:
SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 29/05/2019 15:24

Said it day 1 when he made the claims, I don’t know why anyone was surprised it’s a loads of crap.

bodgeitandscarper · 29/05/2019 15:30

I dont know anyone who actually believed him, I think Tony Blair was worse with his lies over wmd.

donquixotedelamancha · 29/05/2019 15:32

This video is a joy- watch him squirm.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 29/05/2019 15:32

Nothing will happen

Of course lawyers went over what was written was lots of could and should

The Bus was totally Boris spin Remain seizing on it getting flustered with numbers (as it is so complex) while they went their merry way - a Boris causing commotion he is well known for it and does it well

SemperIdem · 29/05/2019 15:33

Good
