Petition

[gulliver1]

Thousands of people have signed a petition demanding accountability
for Mps who do not tell the truth in Parliament, this Campaign came after an investigation that Boris has made at least twenty seven false statements in parliament since he was elected in 2019. And his Brownies believed him . OMG.

er if the Pope ( he infallible yeah) says it isnt raining, and it is - - then is he lying or just too idle to look out of the window?

and if Boris says - my wife loves me and - - - the child has black curly hair or something then.....

If we had a "lies no MPs" rule - we would soon have a silent empty chamber innit?

[gulliver1]

P/P lol.

18 26, You sort of mean then P/P that the Tories should drop their name as "The Con party" and rebrand as the
Liar Party.

Pointless

[gulliver1]

18.53 "Pointless" should you have posted this under ....TV ?

[Peter Pedant]

Pointless as in - liars would just replace liars
I ..... see your point

[Spungle]

Are offshore dissidents like yourself able to sign this nonsensical petition, Gullible?

[Hymie]

Is Boris a compulsive liar, is the Pope Catholic and do bears defecate in the woods?

[youngmafbog]

And what would be "the truth" then? Only something you agree with I suppose.

And lets face it all Party's are riddled with people who tell porkies. Its what politicians of all shapes, sizes and colours do.

I do wish that, just for once, Gulliver would provide some proof of what he posts.

O gullivers post came & went before I saw it.

If you work on the assumption (as I do) that all politicians tell lies, you can't go far wrong (except when you're occasionally deceived when they mistakenly utter a truth). I really don't understand people getting uptight about lying politicians. Certainly not worth wasting time signing petitions. It's really the same as campaigning to get bears to change their toilet habits or to persuade the Pope to convert to Islam.

[Deskdiary]

Politicians tell lies shocker.

Move along - nothing to see here.

I don't think the petition stipulates what "sanctions" should be applied - will they have to go and sit on the naughty step?
