Today's Guardian:-"“Yes, what was that?” said Boris Johnson, affecting bafflement when asked about the Conservative party’s Twitter feed masquerading as a fact-checking service during the debate on Tuesday between the party leaders.The prime minister appeared to be suggesting his own party’s official communications channels had nothing to do with him; he argued it was not for him to “invigilate absolutely everything” on the internet.""he argued it was not for him to “invigilate absolutely everything” on the internet.""Really? It was his party's website, and he is the leader, so he is not really being expected to "invigilate everything on the internet", just his bit. The dirty "passing off" trick was timed to begin and end at the times of the ITV debate. Plus Jeremy Corbyn is responsible for everything on the internet, "as any fule kno". ----------------------------"At one point during the televised debate, the moderator, Julie Etchingham, asked, “Does the truth matter in this election?”“I think it does,” Mr. Johnson replied. The audience burst out laughing." (NYT 20/11/19)
