Whether the subject is Covid, Brexit or anything else, here is a simple example, about which you need no specialist knowledge, of the lying.


Johnson today:
"I remember how some people used to sneer at wind power, twenty years ago, and say that it wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding,"

"But the prime minister will fail to mention that the only person known to have made this colourful claim about wind farms is himself, in 2013."
Seven years ago; not twenty.

Of course he changed his mind about brexit as well - or picked up the wrong speech.

How can anyone believe a word he says about anything, about which he has no specialist knowledge - most things?

He was taking the pizz out of himself.
It was on radio 4 today.

I suppose that's all he can do.

I like it when people change their mind having become better informed.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Shouldn't have spouted off originally while ignorant, then.

 

[motorbiking]

They are 3 times more powerful today than back then.

I think you have answered the point of my thread.

(Titter) Boris and his opinions/beliefs are like soup of the day.

Sensible people don't. Brexers believe what they read in The Wail, so Bozzas job is easy.

Up here Johnston is the best advert for independence, him + all his cronies [This was backed up by the ---Latest--- Conservative party leader up here, third in less than two years?? the other two gave up because of Central office meddling and diktat.]

Scotland, some time ago was not using Fossil fuel for a considerable time, just about all the Electricity was coming from renewable sources, we have some of the most consistent winds in the UK [Apart from the Houses of Parliament]

Who's Johnston?

I think you have answered the point of my thread.

When people started supporting their parties as if they were their football clubs. Your team / party can do no wrong. You have classic cognitive dissonance like "he's such a dirty player but I'd love it if he played for us".

When people deny facts to attempt to score points, they're no better than those they seek to deride.

On the other hand:

"I never understood wind, but studied it better than anyone."
