I agree it was a photo op created to pass a message *to* the press, Jim. But if the photographers were hired by his PR staff he may have thought of them as 'my staff' rather than 'the press'. But we are talking about what might be going on in the mind of a third person, so it is obviously very uncertain. I was simply saying I could imagine a way where it is not an outrageously blatant lie, but a more human failing.

It was obviously a deliberately set up photo-opportunity Mac - he wasn't at Whipps Cross visiting his mam
He was actually challenged (a more and more apt word as far as Johnson is concerned) by the irate father on why he should have been using a hospital for publicity which had caused his daughter such problems because of poor treatment
He obviously panicked and deliberately lied, saying there was no media there
Sky news showed film of the event
Whatever the level of coverage, it was a piece of self promotion held at a hospital that has obviously fallen victim to the present situation

One of the most outrageous aspects of this whole situation is that Dominic Cummings (the mover and shaker of most of this) has encouraged/ordered him to close Parliament at a time when our politicians need to be discussing a national (even international) crisis and what exactly is the self-appointed dictator of the UK doing -
Maria Callas-like diva impressions in Europe by flouncing off and refusing to talk to the press and friggin' self promotion jaunts around failing hospitals

I am hardly one to leap to the defence of MR Johnson's approach to governing, and nor do I have much criticism of the parent's complaints, but on this one the PM may be being treated a little unfairly. What people are calling a lie is more likely a 'category error': when he says 'the press' he is thinking of the Telegraph, Times and the Guardian, the Mirror and the Sun, and when moving to wider media the BBC, ITV, CNN and the rest. It is press conferences and and podiums. So a few people with cameras - and I can't find out who they were - probably are not enough to count as 'the press' in his mind. For people with a less public profile, a person carrying a video camera beyond the consumer level probably says 'press' to us.

It seems to me the only way out of this is to remove non-elected minders like Cummins, allow Parliament to return asap and agree some sort of coalition, approach Europe for at least a year's stay of execution to sort our a provisional compromise with the elements which have caused the now known problems (particularly those involving the growing increase in racism), and after a long, open discussion to put to the people to see if they wish to reaffirm or withdraw their original decision
The damage and slits done to the various communities has to be a priorityn
Nobody can then say they haven't had a chance to vote based on information and experience
If the decision remains unchanged - duck
The alternative seems to be decades of disruption and conflict and an extremely damaged country

Trouble is, John, every single complaint that brexiteers come up with can be dismissed in seconds:

"We need to take back control"... what of ? Our borders that we have got full control over when it comes to non-EU immigrants but which we don't bother to control? Our money, of which the princely sum of one percent of our GDP is actually tied up with the EU and which affords us the benefits of tariff-free trade with by far our biggest trading partner across invisible borders? Our laws, the ones having anything to do with the EU having been overwhelmingly agreed to by mutual consent - bearing in mind that our domestic laws have nothing to do with the EU and that we are free to run our lawmaking and judiciary in any way we like? Our sovereignty: any brexiteer care to tell us, in this era of May being FORCED to consult parliament and Johnson being in court for trying to bypass parliament, what "sovereignty" the EU is stealing from us?

"Ever-closer union": not without our say so. As one of the largest member states we can veto any moves in that direction that we don't like.

"There'll be a European army"...impossible whilst we're members. We've vetoed it. Of course, when we leave it'll probably happen!

"Unelected Brussels bureaucrats dictating our laws"... a profound lie. The Commissioners (a body to which we belong) suggest laws and regulations which are either adopted by common consensus or put to the ELECTED European Parliament. No unelected bureaucrat has any power to enforce new laws or regulations on anyone.

Any more for any more, brexiteers? Don't forgot to tell us how things will improve if you get your way, please! And by the way, if you want to moan about gravy trains and inefficiencies, which I heartily agree are present, don't forget to tell us how we are any better in this country now and how things will get better if we'll leave.

To quote the mighty Raggytash, and in a nutshell, any good news yet about brexit?

From 'Farming Independent, August 14th 2019
Vote Leave Brexit campaign and the senior advisor to Boris Johnson has been labelled 'a hypocrite' after it emerged a farm he co-owns received more than £200,000 in EU subsidies.
Dominic Cummings' farm received CAP farming subsidies that he described as "absurd" before the Brexit referendum. According to the UK's CAP Beneficiary database, the Durham farm Mr Cummings co-owns with members of his family received around €20,000 per annum for a number of years.

Sonia Khan was sacked after a leak of plans for a secretive Privy Council meeting for the Government to ask the Queen to suspend Parliament for a month in the run-up to the planned Brexit day on October 31.

Any compensation would revolve around her guilt or innocence. If guilty summary dismissal is entirely reasonable.

Jumping to conclusions and making wild allegations such as :
We can only hope Ms Khan Mr Khan takes up her option to sue the arse of these goose-steppers before they extend their grip to the rest of us

Opposition parties resisting government policy with all their might is absolutely why we have a multi-party system in the first place, the keystone of our democracy. I note that the word "rebel" has been massively employed in recent weeks to characterise pejoratively every MP who doesn't support the Boris line. The correct term for them is opposition, not rebels. I suppose the 21 (or have I lost count) Tories who defected might justifiably be called rebels, but even then I wonder whether you can still be a rebel when you're not even in the party. Words make good weapons. I note that a recent much-overused Cummingsism, popping up in just about every Johnson pronouncement, is the reference to "our friends and partners in the EU." Repeated use of mantra-words is an attempt at brainwashing. Resist!

"No politicians who has behaved as he has can never be allowed to stand as leader again, "
Having given this a bit more thought, I think it needs refining
Politicians who have behaved as johnson and his army of zombies have should be permanently disbarred from becoming involved in politics again
They have deliberately betrayed those who elected them by damaging the institution that give people their only say in how our lives are organized - the electoral system
We vote for those who we wish to represent us - Johnson has seized the right to dismiss them if they get in the way of his ambitions and intentions
He has deliberately lied to both Parliament and to the people; he probably lied to the queen
He has hidden facts on medical supplies, food, jobs, the future of industries in Britain, transporting goods... his whole technique is based on a string of lies and secrecy
His party commissioned an enquiry on what might happen after a hard Brexit, it was hidden from the public, it was said to be out of date, now it is claimed to have been sorted

Most politicians lie but few base their carers on it, as the otherwise unelectable Clown that is Johnson has
No-one who is even suspected of behaving as he obviously has is fit to be involved in representing the British people, let alone being a national leader

He doesn't have to worry about being out of a job - I have little doubt that he would be welcomed with open arms, with its reactionary and archaically conservative history.

This not only goes against the Constitution, but is in fact illegal

opinion not fact!

The bill of rights clearly states: Debates or proceedings in Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament'

I fail to see how the court action can possibly succeed. The judiciary are playing with fire.

"the key issue is about “justiciability”, or whether the prime minister’s use of the royal prerogative should be subject to legal scrutiny. The Judicial Power Project at the thinktank Policy Exchange has argued that judges are usurping parliament’s powers through excessive “judicial activism”

This constant recourse to law in recent times cuts both ways of course.?
Can a law be passed when the Queen's consent was not granted?
Can a rabble pass laws in Parliament when they have no accountability.
This latter point is further strengthened by the argument that twice the rebels were offered an election to give legitimacy for their decisions. Twice they refused. In essence the majority of MPs constitute a rogue parliament in opposition to the will of the people.

The inescapable conclusion is that the rebels are very happy to thwart the minority government wish for an election because they know full well, that should an election take place, they would end up with no mandate from the people.

"Well, Jim, it'll take an election to find out whether Johnson really represents Britain."
Having watche the opening shots of the appeals, actually it won't Steve
The appeal is that Johnson has breached hia authority as PM and has placed himself above the rule of parliament for political and personal purposes
They argue that the period for which parliament was closed is unprecedented and thet Johnson has lied when he clams it was common practice; that it was, in fact, to prevent Parliament debating a nationally important subject in order to over-ride it
This not only goes against the Constitution, but is in fact illegal
Johnson was expected to provide an opening statement explaining his actions - he has not done so
When asked what he will do if the decision goes against him, he says he will see what that decision is
This smacks of a political coup which, if successful, will be out of the hands of the electorate
One way or the other, either the courts will decide whether he is fit to represent Britain or he and his cronies will
No politicians who has behaved as he has can never be allowed to stand as leader again, especially as he has openly undermined the British legal system
He has behaved exactly as Trump has in the US - he is dismantling British democracy and making it fit his own extremist, perverted political outlook
He is rapidly becoming an openly out-of-the-closet fascist with his little army of insignificant nodding dogs backing him

In the meantime, we have Swinson. The Swinson who called for an in-out referendum almost before it was a twinkle in call-me-Dave's eye. The Swinson who, as a minister in the coalition, helped to enable ten years of austerity, pitching millions into misery. The Swinson who helped to break so blatantly the solemn LibDem promise on tuition fees. So now, ha bloody ha, she's telling us that a majority LibDem government would scrap brexit just like that. As Tommy Cooper might have said, not like that, like that. No referendum. And she would refuse to support either Labour or the Tories in a hung parliament.

Well I'll tell you summat. My constituency, North Cornwall, and the West Devon one next door, we're always traditional LibDem seats. Like nearly all the seats in this one-time LibDem stronghold which is the south-west, most people voted leave. So that's screwed it then. The Tories keep 'em all. She and her ragbag assortment of a handful of electees and a tawdry bunch of opportunist disaffecteds are going to be very disappointed when they get about a tenth of the seats needed to get their majority.
