Boris called a liar!

[norfolkngood]

Keir Starmer should said that Boris Johnson has to stop coming along to Prime Ministers question time each week with the same old set of lies.

The Speaker let him get away with it .

its only libellous if its not true.

 

[SE4 Red]

I think he said lines.

Don't think the speaker would have allowed him to get away with it despite the accuracy of the remark.

Lines

You're not allowed to call somebody a liar in parliament. Actually if you took out all the stuff that isn't a lie, especially from the current administration, you'd be left with a blessed silence.

Dennis Skinner: "Half the Tories opposite are crooks."

After being told to retract: "Half the Tories opposite aren’t crooks.”

I loved that quote. I often wondered whether Dennis had planned that knowing he would be told to retract or if it was completely spontaneous. Either way it was a gem.

They are not lies. They are terminological inexactitudes.

 

[jam69]

The fact that he's a liar can be proven, surely you can call a proven liar a liar?

 

[brattleboro]

well he is a complete and utter liar,so what would have been the problem????

He did say lines
But I thought it sounded like lies. And if he’d said lies it would’ve been more accurate

Spanish
Missed how leaving the eu impacts you
(If you’ve discussed it on here)
Does it have any meaningful impact on your life ?
Have to now apply for Spanish citizenship ? Or not....

Hi, so far the only real impact is some first world problems.

We placed an order for some fitflops from fitflop.eu. They were shipped from the uk on 9 January. Still not arrived. However they are now in Spain. We were lucky as they say that DPD has stopped all their deliveries to Europe now.

As we have been resident here for years we have the right to stay here. We can use copies of our original paperwork to prove it. Although we will eventually apply for one of the new cards (TIE I think they are called). As they are smaller than the A4 paperwork we carry at the moment.

I have Irish grandparents so I can claim Irish citizenship (as well as UK). I applied ages ago. However processing of the application is delayed. As there are no Irish staff processing requests at the moment. Due to coronavirus. I was advised to do this as a back up. In case of future problems. Without any clear positive reasons.

So really, the virus is having a much bigger impact on me than Brexit so far.

Good to hear Spanish man. Great that you have Irish grandparents too.
Pleased for you....
