Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson- AKA Bozo.

Thanks for that, David Starkey is fearless, which is why the Wokerati detest him.

Labour MPs and parts of the media are currently exploring, as part of the party-gate scandal, whether if you repeat often enough that someone has lied, you can make that an accepted fact, even if you do not have a shred of evidence or reason to believe it.

The latest example came in the Commons this week when MPs referred Boris Johnson to the privileges committee for potentially misleading parliament.

The problem is that Boris Johnson did not lie about having received birthday greetings from work colleagues between work meetings. His team literally briefed the event to the press on the day it occurred.

In June 2020, during the height of lockdown, the Times reported that Boris Johnson had received a cake for his birthday. No one noticed.

Boris also did not lie about having given a work speech to colleagues in his garden. How could he possibly pretend such an event did not occur?

Manifestly, Boris believed at the time that these events – along with all the others he attended – were within the rules.

For some of them the official Downing Street photographer took pictures.

Others were briefed to the press. For others emails were sent or they were recorded on Zoom. It is blatantly obvious that Johnson believed they were within the rules.

Now, perhaps he was wrong about that.

But, if so, that is not because he didn’t know what the rules were. If Cristiano Ronaldo is passed the ball, out-sprints the defense and puts the ball in the net, but VAR lines later show he was offside by millimetres, that doesn’t mean that Ronaldo doesn’t know the rules of football when he celebrated with the crowd or that he was lying. It means Ronaldo’s understanding of what he’d done didn’t match what actually happened.

Labour knows perfectly well that Boris will have believed what he did at the time was within the rules and that what he did created no risk of additional spread. (How could it, given that he gathered only with people he worked with?)

But Labour MPs such as Barry Gardiner attended the lockdown-breaking BLM protests in 2020. And Starmer cheered on these protests – and was even pictured taking the knee himself. Tens of thousands of non-socially-distanced people gathered for non-work purposes, facilitating countless extra coronavirus cases. Because they didn’t feel the rules applied to them. And Starmer cheered them on.

Lying isn’t merely being mistaken – especially when there is every reason to believe you genuinely believed yourself correct at the time, as Boris clearly did for the events focused on so far.

Thanks.
 
In discussing whether to investigate Bozo's ass the British parliament broke with iron-clad tradition and allowed direct accusations of ' LIAR ' in relation to the accused.

His legacy was made right there.
