In case  people haven't picked up the reference, it's about Stanley Johnson's suggestion that the British public are too ignorant to be able to spell 'Pinocchio.' https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/the-british-public-couldnt-spell-pinocchio-if-they-tried-boris-johnsons-father-stanley-says-1328187

Ha ha.I saw the interview on BBC News. Unbelievable how condescending, arrogant and rude he was.

Here we go again.Boris bashing but unable to condemn the terrorist in London yesterday.

Wow, I cede my claim on the crown of King of Whataboutery to you. What a deflection shot!

I think that you guys are misspelling "pinnacle".def. "an upright architectural member generally ending in a small spire"

There's also the snide implication that those who haven't expressed horror at the terrorist attack because it was so obviously vile, are somehow supporters of it. What this kind of attack reminds me most of is the people who are condemned in North Korea because they haven't supported the regime sufficiently enthusiastically, and it's why I don't engage directly with it.

Someone’s on a roll today, that’s for sure lol.

I'm not sure of the logic here. The fact that Usman Khan committed an appalling terrorist attack on innocent people and should obviously still be in prison doesn't seem related to the fact I don't want a arrogant, duplicitous liar as Prime Minister? 

Michael Ixer ● 2538d

Ha ha, David

Michael Ixer ● 2538d

That's fine Michael and I don't want a PM that lets anti-antisemitism fester in his party.I'm waiting for Boris to debate terrorism and you Liberals can throw mud and the racist card at him as usual.

I wasn’t referring to you, David.

Freddie Francis ● 2538d

Whoops! Apologies. Mild dose of solipsism.

David Ainsworth ● 2538d

@Michael, but he was right :D

Bunny Payne ● 2538d

Like father like son!  Both are extremely condescending, arrogant and rude.On the other hand, I wonder if they know how to spell the word honesty.
