Liar Hancock

Exactly, progressive change is off-the-table in my opinion until something is done about the media.

I do wonder if education plays a role in this as well though - too many people seem to be capable of being "taken in" by a headline. Where's the critical thinking which asks "why is that the case", the desire for contextual analysis...

It might be just me but a sensationalist headline just generates further questions in my head, rather than glowing feelings of support or sympathy.
I think it was the Blair government that brought in critical thinking as a subject at secondary level. But our schools and universities don't appreciate such skills.
Personally I think it should be taught at elementary level and upward.

 
If anyone had a valid example of Hancock lying then I would listen to you. However it would appear that if you don't like what someone says or does , rather than debating the point you scream , shout liar and with spittle dripping from your keyboard attack anyone who disagrees with you.
Riiiggggghhhhttttt.......and yet you completely ignore the example of Hancock lying given to you in the Ed Conway thread, not debating the point and instead embarking on a screaming rant about people who disagree with you, spittle dripping from your keyboard.....
 
Because Boris was an honourable man and would never dream of putting his own interests ahead of the nation’s health.

Fecking hell he must have nearly poked Ashworth's eye out on the opposition bench when his nose grew & his pants must still be smouldering after they spontaneously combusted after that enormous whopper 🤦‍♂️
 
In Parliament yesterday he said:

The truth is that when we put Pakistan and Bangladesh on the red list, positivity among those arriving from those countries was three times higher than it was among those arriving from India. That is why we took those decisions and, of course, they were taken before the Indian variant became a variant under investigation, let alone a variant of concern.

But apparently that wasn't true according to Sky's Conway:


In the period from 25 March to 7 April, some 5.1% of passengers coming to the UK from India tested positive for Covid-19, not far below the 6.2% level recorded by passengers from Pakistan, and comfortably higher than the 3.7% of passengers coming from Bangladesh.

This, remember, is for the period at the very beginning of April, two weeks before India was put on the red list.

And far from being three times higher than in India, the Covid positivity rate in Pakistan was only slightly above India; the rate of passengers coming from Bangladesh was considerably lower than that of those coming from India.
 
There is a simple answer to this. If Hancock was given the wrong figures he will attend Parliament . He will apologise and give the correct figures.
If Sky's figures are wrong ............... nothing happens.
That's not a lie , if he was wrong it's a **** up.
 
By the way pork pie person it was not a screaming rant by any means and I reserve the right to use" spittle coated keyboard" .
If you wish to use it again please ask and I will consider the request !

I’m sorry, but that’s incredibly naive.
 
Talking with my wife today in the car Hancock came on the wireless spouting this nonsense. What is annoying is that he expects people to buy this nonsense.

No accountability, no humility, no integrity, no honesty, no transparency and no leadership. All qualities picked at random, sorta.
The thick majority do believe him though
That’s the Tory mantra
Say it enough time’s and people start to believe you
Evil Tories just want power above anything else, dignity, morals etc etc etc
 

Tick tock tick tock. You are done fella.
He’s not, affairs sleaze and corruption strengthen this current cabinet. Alexander likes his ministers to be as corrupt, sleazy and deceitful as he is
 

Tick tock tick tock. You are done fella.
It's all part of the government's carefully thought out plan to heap the blame for their collective failures on one individual.

He was appointed to the cabinet, much like the rest of them, because he does as he's told. Thatcher did it and then Johnson did it; get rid of anyone who isn't on-message, 100% of the time.
