Does anyone else think Boris is a gaslighter?

Just that really. I’m shocked time and time again how he says things that are the opposite of the truth and spins things to suit him. It’s gaslighting of the nation.

Unless he is making you think that you are losing your marbles (which doesn’t sound like the case from your op), that’s not gaslighting, is it? It may be spin and it may be lying but it’s not gaslighting.

Does it ‘trigger’ you too? Some words are just too dramatically overused on here.

Most of the teaching profession afaik

Liar I think is the word

Change the title from ‘Boris’ to ‘all politicians’ and I might agree more

No he's just lying and bullshitting. And enough voters think it's ok because the payback is oh god who knows actually

Because he is lolz and a celeb

Liar? Yes.

He constantly rewrites history and denies any inconvenient truths. He is a gaslighter, liar and hypocrite.

Can you list a few so we can see what you're referring to?

Do you know what gaslighting means? Or just did you just want to use ten term because it’s trendy right now. A bit like narcissist.

Yep agreed

Wtf 😂

Here’s an example - “There are no press here,” to the angry dad at the hospital.

I’d call that gaslighting - making the dad doubt himself. But I’ll settle for “lying.”

I think you find that quite a few people like Boris. He is positive which is very welcome. I would hate someone like David Lammy. In fact coming all I ever heard from Labour is moaning and moaning. Nothing else.

And blaming

I think he just deflects any criticism aimed at him with ‘yeah but we delivered Brexit and we delivered on our vaccine promise’ so his supporters think ‘yeaaahhh go Boris- he got Brexit done’.

Let’s forget the death toll. Let’s forget the racism. Let’s forget the misogyny and homophobia. At least he got Brexit done.

He is positive which is very welcome

Yeah, if racism is positive.

He is a version of trump.... as trump himself remarked!

I suppose he is told what to say by his media team as he doesn't really make the decisions.

Yes. He’s a liar, a narcissist, a philanderer, an egotist, a coward.

An example (there are many)-
Boris to the public (and the queen) I need to suspend parliament (unlawfully) to prepare a new queens speech because naughty parliament has blocked it. Truth - he suspended parliament to push through his Brexit plans. The public /parliament were all doubting themselves as to his motives (maybe we didn’t elect him enough of a majority to get brexit done). Rubbish- he had a massive majority at the time.

Another example - you joe public are to blame for rising infection rates (not my policies and eat out to help out).

Hes more a liar than a gaslighter. Although maybe a liar is just an unconvincing gaslighter

But he gets the public to blame themselves and gets them to think they were mad for saying he lies at all - can’t be true!

A gas lighter is a liar who gets the victim to doubt and blame themselves
