Media Plonkers......

[ToraToraTora]

So the PM is on sky news talking about the migration issue, taking questions....what does the first plonker ask about? yep you guessed it, the 9 minute gathering for a slice of birthday cake! If I was his editor I'd fire him. You get a chance to ask the PM a question on the issue of the day and peace it up against the wall!

[bednobs]

isn't cake still the issue of the day too (as much as you dont want it to be)

[bednobs]

but broadly, yes, i agree with you. Journalists seem to be as a whole stupid

[douglas9401]

Unless they happen to chime with a particular viewpoint, then, bang on.

End of. X

[ToraToraTora]

so cakegate is more important than the migrant issue or indeed Russian thugs pillaging there way across Ukraine? right oh!

[THECORBYLOON]

"You get a chance to ask the PM a question on the issue of the day and peace it up against the wall!"

I thought the issue of the day was the war in Ukraine, not immigration or was that only for yesterday?

Is it the issue of the day only when you agree with what's being discussed at that particular time?

[bednobs]

Is it more important? I didnt think you thought that.
Inconveniently, news stories dont always happen one at a time

[youngmafbog]

If he is on there talking about a subject then that is the topic.

It really annoys me when people try to deviate from the topic in hand especially when its important and there are questions to be asked about it.

And I am not just talking about this instance, it seems to happen to all politicians across the Party's'

[maggiebee]

Stop digging TTT, we all know you have a direct line to BoJo and have first hand knowledge. PMSL

[Peter Pedant]

Boris' plan was to float the Rwanda plan to take minds such as yours off partygate

it worked

I think it is called a prat-fall, or lets do the usual dance.....

[Peter Pedant]

if Boris denied it - I am truly surprised that TTT didnt ask
" why didnt he eat cake?"

[Gromit]

“We will cut immigration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands. “

A classic Tory lie.

In 2018 there were 150 illegal immigrants crossing the channel by boat. In 2021 under the useless Patel that had risen to 28,000.

If you fanboys want to lust after the PM, you might be advised to turn the sound down when viewing to avoid hearing the questions. It also has the advantage that you won’t hear is lies.

[ToraToraTora]

gromit: "“We will cut immigration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands. “

A classic Tory lie. " - is English not your first language? How can that be a lie? It's a stated aim.

[Khandro]

Gromit, what is your suggestion on how to deal with illegal, economic migration?

[Gromit]

It is a lie because when they made it they knew they were tied to treaties, agreements and legislation that made it impossible to fulfil the promise.

12 years later, immigration is still in the hundreds of thousands.

[naomi24]

Although others will continue to make a meal of it, Boris has said all he had to say about cake so there’s no point in questioning him further. The reporter should have been more professional and asked him about something else.

[ToraToraTora]

Rubbish, to have an opinion or state an intention is not a lie.

[ToraToraTora]

Labour said they would win the last election, that was their intention, are they liars because the did not manage it? What a load of carp you talk Gromit.

[Gromit]

It is no coincidence that illegal immigration has got worse since the Conservatives scrapped the Border Agency and the Home Secretary took more control over its successor.
That clearly hasn’t worked because the problem hasn’t got any better.
- We should scrap the failing UK Border Force.
- Replace it with a Professional naval police.
- Take responsibility for immigration off the failing Patel.
- Replace her with one of the ex-services MPs.
- More surveillance of the French end to stop the boats before they sail.

[ToraToraTora]

Let's see what effect sending them to Rwanda has shall we.

[Gromit]

It is very clear now, over numerous threads, that the chief fanboys doesn’t understand when he is being lied at.
Politicians lie. They often get caught out lying. The difference with Boris, the more he is caught out, the more he lies.
