Hard to tell, Boris could be stealing more phones and sending the death threats from them?

“One version, posted by a man who claims to work for the British army’s intelligence corps, has received 2,000 shares on Facebook; another, from a person saying they were a former soldier, has received a further 500.”

Own up which of the NPE Walt’s has been helping Dom out ?

Our local rag is Labour through and through so I'd take a newspaper report with a pinch of salt.

Your last sentence is so, so true. Look at some of the things happening:
  • Mother uses her child to make a political point
  • Channel 4 pretend to "mis-hear" Boris to make him look bad
  • Tories try to imitate a fact-checking website
  • Prime Minister refuses to look at a photo and pockets journalist's 'phone
  • Old friend gives private conversation to the media to make Labour (Jon Ashworth) look bad.
And that's just a selection. What the hell is happening to us as a society? Have we, and the media, now reached the point where it's win at all costs? What happened to honesty, loyalty, transparency - and even admitting when you're wrong?
It's no wonder so many people despair of our politics and won't bother to vote.
It's definitely silly season with politics. I heard a demolition of the Labour Party ruse, that each family would be 6k better off under them, earlier. It turns out that the number of people that will benefit in full from their calculations, hypothetically, is probably something like 3000 families out of 27 million. So they're selling a lie really! They must know this! Can one party afford to take the high ground and act like saints when the others are throwing chimp st around though? Even so, there must be one that is the best of the bad bunch or one with policies that make the most sense.

Behaviourally neither of them rise from the gutter and ultimately behaviour is a subjective assessment based on where people set their standards and what they are willing to compromise.

Underlying policies are of course a matter of more tangible impact on an individual and the collective, c.f. Trump, Donald J.

It’s policies that are going to win this election for Boris. Maybe not his own, or even those of his party, but policies nonetheless.

Whoever they're from they're obviously wrong.

I don't really get how we've got to a point where people do that kind of thing.

Fingers crossed those doing it won't be the sharpest knives in the drawer and the Police will be able to take appropriate action.

What absolute nonsense, without the despicable use of a child in a political point scoring exercise the story wouldn't exist.
The point in question is the way Johnson handled a relatively simple question. The child is immaterial in that. He was put on the spot, and he floundered. He lost it.

This bloke is to be our lead in negotiations. He'll be put under a lot more pressure in such situations. He's proved himself inept.

By trying to deflect the matter to 'won't someone think of the children' just won't wash. Johnson made a mess of something that most politicians would have dealt with quickly, without giving the press any reason to criticise.

He's going up against some pretty shrewd leaders in his EU negotiations. One assumes he'll discuss matters with Putin. sooner or later he'll have to cope with those a bit more politically motivated than a journo looking for a story.
You actually think that in important negotiations with others our PM has to make instant on the hoof decisions... really?

That’s dangerously close to an admission that the buffoon in chief needs adult supervision.

You prefer the May 'tin ear' approach to negotiations I assume... remind me how that went?

Why do you immediately leap to “if this, then that” on matters political ?

It’s very odd.

Who said he was? Who said (apart from you) that the death threats came from a labour supporter?
