"We're going to get a great deal"

NormHonal · 02/09/2019 21:42

Easier and quicker to list the true things he’s said?

NormHonal · 02/09/2019 21:43

Kippers. He went on about exporters having to pack kippers in ice due to some EU law. Complete bollocks. It's a UK law.

Plenty more out there.

Promised to oppose Heathrow's expansion, then pissed off out of the country to deliberately avoid the vote.

Going back a bit further...

"Not one single (London Underground) ticket office will close"

Dogsarebetterthancatsok · 02/09/2019 21:58

They all lie. Corbyn is the worst of them all though.

BertrandRussell · 02/09/2019 21:59

Said Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was teaching spies.

FenellaMaxwell · 02/09/2019 22:00

oh yes, and there was the time he tried to claim it had nothing to do with him that Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was still imprisoned in Iran, despite telling the Iranians, wrongly, that she was there to train journalists....

BertrandRussell · 02/09/2019 22:01

Also- whenever he’s asked how many children he has.

LizzieSiddal · 02/09/2019 22:02

He said he wound not call an election.

He will do tomorrow

Cinammoncake · 02/09/2019 22:02

Million to one chance of a no deal
I'm not going to prorogue parliament
Does his adultery count?
and the lies he got the sack for (twice?)
the amount we send to the EU per week
There are many potential solutions to the backstop, easy to find.

that's just off the top of my head

FenellaMaxwell · 02/09/2019 22:02

He was sacked from the Times for making up quotes for interviews

LizzieSiddal · 02/09/2019 22:03

He’s had many affairs so his ex wives would be able to add to this it’s.

LizzieSiddal · 02/09/2019 22:03

Why don't we care about it? How did such a dishonest man who routinely, without a care lies to the public? I know he was put in place by Tory members, but still, why don't they care?

Cherrysoup · 02/09/2019 22:14

But who else would be a leader for the Tories? Or should we shove Corbyn in (although I think he’s bonkers)

MorganKitten · 02/09/2019 22:15

That he, with several friends, used to smash up restaurants as teens, then use daddy money to pay off the owners. My ex was unfortunately a friend of his so was there when it happened,. Gross.

BertrandRussell · 02/09/2019 22:21

All that stuff with Darius Guppy.

ilovesooty · 02/09/2019 22:23

But so many people think he's great / a legend / giving us our country back.

According to Facebook anyway.

INeedToThrowItAllOut · 02/09/2019 22:28

"forsaking all others".... has got to be right up there at the top of the charts. Twice.

@ilovesooty

your comment about giving us our country back made me think of Trump and his make america great again slogan.

I blame Have I Got News For You.

In My Glorious Reign, no politician will be allowed to appear on anything go on telly except on political programmes. Or very boring programmes about trains. Actually, not even those, in case they become an unexpected quirky hit.
