To be bored sh*tless of "look at BoJos lies" threads

Not a fan of Boris. Not a Tory bot.

There seems to be another "look at my dossier"/"read this article"/"read these lies!" Thread every 4.5 seconds. I'm bored to the point of losing the plot over this.

Again, not a Boris fan but I like to think that people can educate themselves without yet another bloody thread implying they're deluded or living under a bush?

Bore off. Please. We can all read without your helpful suggestions.

AIBU?

Don't read them then.

Problem solved.

recrudescence · 10/12/2019 15:44

At least it’ll all be over soon.

PuntasticUsername · 10/12/2019 15:45

He should stop fucking constantly lying then.

BareBelliedSneetch · 10/12/2019 15:45

I’m quite bored of Johnson’s lies, yet they keep coming, each bigger than the last. And they need to be called out.

bluebells1 · 10/12/2019 15:46

YANBU OP. Those are the Momentum bots. They will crawl back into their holes after the elections.

Eggies · 10/12/2019 15:46

YANBU.

Treaclepie19 · 10/12/2019 15:47

It's not one sided though is it? Surely you should be fed up of the Corbyn ones too?

It's an important election, people are going to share what's going on.

TheTruthAboutLove · 10/12/2019 15:47

It's quite difficult when most days whilst on the campaign trail Boris lies through his teeth - why shouldn't he be called out?

There's an easy option, hide or don't read the threads. But if one of these hundreds of threads persuades one Tory voter to change their vote I'm all for it.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 10/12/2019 15:48

At least it’ll all be over soon.

Ya think? You just wait and see what the Active Threads are on Friday morning... It's going to be weeks and months of people bitching about the result because it didn't go the way they wanted.

The slagging won't stop, far from it.

Treaclepie19 · 10/12/2019 15:48

And this x100. He should stop fucking constantly lying then.

If you’re bored that your prime minister tells lies at such a rate that there are constant threads then maybe you should look at whether he is suitable as a prime minister. He is a liar. Repeatedly. It needs to be highlighted since MSM seem to pass over it almost as often as he lies.

PerkingFaintly · 10/12/2019 15:50

More interestingly:

OP are you planning to vote Tory, knowing that Boris Johnson constantly lies?

AgathaX · 10/12/2019 15:50

They're all full of bullshit, not just the Tories.

user1471448556 · 10/12/2019 15:55

Not sure why you’re bored. You should be disturbed and appalled that the PM of this country lies so much. If you do genuinely find it all so ‘boring’, don’t read about it, don’t engage with it, remain in blissful ignorance.

NaturalDisasters · 10/12/2019 15:58

What bothers you about the prime minister’s continual lying is that there are too many Mn threads about it? Seriously?

species5618 · 10/12/2019 15:59

And perhaps don't start a thread about it!

angemorange · 10/12/2019 16:00

Surely you must have a favourite one though? Smile

EmmaGellerGreen · 10/12/2019 16:01

What bothers you? The fact that we have a Prime Minister who lies as a matter of course. Or threads remarking on it? I’m hoping the former.

otterturk · 10/12/2019 16:02

I haven't seen anywhere near as many about Labour's multitude of sins.

Boris has lied. Corbyn has lied. Both parties have failed to deal with a whole load of mind boggling awfulness.

My AIBU is about why people feel the need to start ANOTHER thread when there are so bloody many already. It's also the patronising tone of most of the OPs.

Deleting the app until Saturday.

does it bore you that the pm lies or that people are talking about his lies?

what do you want us to talk about?

the person claiming its momentum bots- have you any evidence? do you think all the people who dont like boris lies are momentum or just the thread starters?

GCAcademic · 10/12/2019 16:04

Rather than being appalled, people need to understand clearly what we are dealing with. Leaders who lie are being elected all over the world. It's practically a requirement. Johnson would probably lose votes if he suddenly came across as sincere and in command of facts.

That needs to be clearly understood, before the problem can be addressed. Simply pointing out that people are lying is counterproductive.

Helmetbymidnight · 10/12/2019 16:05

so youre annoyed that there arent more threads about corbyns lies?

or youre annoyed that people still want to talk about boris lies?

Simkin · 10/12/2019 16:07

bye.

Breathlessness · 10/12/2019 16:07

I wouldn’t be criticising his lies - politicians lie. I’d be pointing out his utter incompetence. As London mayor he spunked away million in public funds on his pet ‘Garden Bridge’ project that came to nothing. As Foreign Secretary he made false statements about a UK citizen wrongfully imprisoned by Iran - she is spending another Christmas in prison.

There are competent politicians out there. Labour ones, Conservative ones, Brexit supporters, Remainers, men, women, young and old. Why pick a useless one?
