The BBC just can’t kill off Boris try as they might…and they do try. Hard.
Every time he opens his mouth the BBC is there to attack and undermine him, Laura Kuenssberg leading the charge with her long in the tooth conspiracy that every word he utters is a machiavellian plot to take over the leadership of the Tory Party…and she’s not afraid to add in a blatant lie to the anti-Boris spin….
It won’t be the first time that Boris Johnson has called for more cash for the NHS.
Depending on the flavour of your own views, his promise during the referendum of an extra £350m for the NHS was either an entirely sensible and publicly appealing promise of how we should spend the EU membership fees that may (eventually) come back to the country after we leave, or a classic piece of political sleight of hand.
‘Promise’? No promise was made,, and it certainly wasn’t for £350 million. Boris was in no position to promise, he wasn’t in government and he could in no way predict future policy….so how could he promise? It’s BBC lie….and a smear as Kuenssberg calls it a ‘sleight of hand’.
The BBC has targeted Boris for years now and it is clear why as one of the most high profile and popular politicians in Britain who led the Leave campaign and maybe head of the Conservative Party in the BBC’s worst nightmare scenario. Plenty of reasons to keep on trying to discredit and deride someone so popular and influential.
Look how they react when he comments on what he would like Brexit to take shape as…the BBC launches all out attacks claiming he is betraying May and undermining the untied front the government wants to portray. The BBC has absolutely nothing to say when pro-EU Remainers in Cabintet, such as Hammond or Rudd, speak out about what they want…soft Brexit.
This is very evident in the last few days…Boris spoke of the need for more money for the NHS and the BBC filled the airwaves with accounts of him being reprimanded and we had headlines like this:
Boris Johnson rebuked over NHS cash plea
In fact Emma Barnett gloated that a Cabinet colleague [clearly Hammond or Rudd, probably Rudd] had come out and said May had ‘bitchslapped’ Boris. Barnett quoted that and then later asked Vince Cable if he had ever heard of anyone being ‘bitchslapped’ in the same way….she got told off for using the term but claimed she as only quoting someone…but she wasn’t…she was using the term in her own context and clearly not a quote. Bit odd on a day when the ‘Presidents Club’ and all that was in the news and respect for women on the agenda….and Barnett is calling the PM a bitch and using language normally reserved for the streets on 5 Live. Odd no problem with ‘bitchslapped’ but ‘shithole’?
Anyway back to Boris…here’s a headline in the Telegraph today as Hammond once again tries to set the Brexit agenda to suit himself….
Theresa May rebukes Philip Hammond after he makes extraordinary public call for soft Brexit
Theresa May has rebuked Philip Hammond after he triggered a furious Cabinet row after making a dramatic public call for a soft Brexit.
The Chancellor used a speech in Davos, Switzerland, to say that there would only be “very modest” changes to relations between the EU and the UK after Brexit.
He praised a call by the CBI group of business leaders for Britain to have the “closest possible relationship between the EU and the UK post-Brexit”.
His comments prompted a backlash from Cabinet colleagues and backbenchers, who accused the Chancellor of putting the Tories on the “path to electoral ruin”.
Sounds pretty serious with Hammond getting ‘Bitchslapped’ apparently….but the BBC hasn’t noticed…well, it has, but it just doesn’t want you to know about it……
Here’s their story…and good old Moggy is their main target…
Jacob Rees-Mogg and Philip Hammond at odds over Brexit
Any mention that Hammond may have spoken out of turn and betrayed May and undermined the government? No….This is the only, extremely vague, indication that there might be anything going on behind the scenes….and this is the absolute, very last line at the end of a long BBC report…almost like they don’t want you to see even the tiniest suggestion that Hammond is causing trouble….
Asked whether she agreed with Mr Hammond’s comments, the spokesman said: “The cabinet has signed up to the vision the PM has set out in her speeches.”
Extremely, extremely, dishonest of the BBC.
Had to come here-I`m the first, which seems to be a good thing”. hate to see an unloved, unwanted thread-like the only onion in the petunia patch.
Have a heart, let`s adopt, sponsor or otherwise raise the self esteem of this seemingly-unwanted thread.
And-heard a bit of Broadcasting House this morning. The theme suits. The Conservatives are spineless, clueless and unable to deal with even idiots like Paddy O Connell.
I went to a convent, but we`d have bullied the school where all these chinless wimps went to.
Could only have done them good, these politicians are truly terrible.
I`m Dr Barnardo re this thread-I`m calling him “carrots”!
Maybe I need a baby.
