Thread Name: BS: Johnson shows his colours (again)
Subject: RE: BS: Johnson shows his colours (again)
Rees-Mogg is attempting to elevate the enquiry to the status of a "trial" so that he can then claim that Boris "can't get a fair trial" because of prejudicial statements made in advance of the enquiry by Theresa May and others. This ploy isn't original. It was raised earlier in the week by a Johnson supporter whose name I can't remember (I was fuming in the southbound M6 20-mile roadworks at the time).
Just been listening to Any Answers on Radio 4. The phone-ins in this topic are absolutely dismal, some akin to hate speech. I'm almost giving up any hope for humanity.
