Is Boris lying again

[Howslifenow]

Today on one of the select committee meetings Boris said 1% of the schools have got impacted by Covid in UK.
Assuming 35000 schools in UK, this equals 350 schools.
Mayor of Manchester today says 120 schools in Manchester have been impacted.
That leaves 230 schools rest of UK.
Are we being taken as mugs again.
Why are we not given this information.

I am not familiar with the name 'de Pfeffel' is it pronounced 'the piffle'?

Not quite. 'Piffle' in this context is pronounced 'pillock'

It is a good job this man isn't Pinocchio. He would look like a tripod by now.

Every now and then someone starts saying Gove is the nearest thing to competent, at least he's a grown-up, only one of the Cabinet who's even slightly trustworthy, did a great job at Education (!) etc, and I think "Who is pushing this line and why would anyone buy it?" But if they say it often enough maybe enough people will. Quite worrying really.

Friend of mine always refers to Gove as Pob (anyone remember that?).

I've been saying this for ages.

Especially because Gove and Cummings are like 🤞

The right wing press can get any tom dick Harry Tory elected. We have seen that with the lump of lard

Map of cases picked up from Newspaper articles about school closures. I know it's not complete as I know of 3 in my town not on there.

Also check out twitter.com/ToryFibs?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor who had it as 1,230 yesterday.

Ohnoducks,

That map isn’t updated because the guy running it can’t do it fast enough. He relies on info from other people as the government won’t publish the full figures.

The only time Boris didn't lie was in front of the bulldozers.

Without reading the thread, I would almost guarantee the answer is yes.

@ohnoducks. One school near me is on there, 2 others had a confirmed case on the same day, then there was another one the day after. The one that is on that map was the only one reported in the local paper

Shame he didn't lie down in front of them Arthur Dent style...with a slight modification to the plot.

Doris (I gave up calling him Boris in matey style quite some time ago) Johnson is following the Trump way - never tell the truth, not even if it suits you to do so.

@Unsure33

It’s really odd I thought mumsnet was a discussion forum. Obviously not.

What do you mean?

For goodness sake, every mum and dad, and those without children on this website knows Johnson lies, like a child. Just to get past the question.

Johnson lies on demand, and yet numerous people, the electorate still vote for his English National Party.

The UK is really the least politically savvy population. And vote against their interest. As a collective, the UK is massively dumb.
Johnson lies about everything. We accept it.

Does the pope shit in the woods?

Is that you, Doris?

Doris, is that you?
