If UK news shows are going to give Boris Johnson a platform to spout his absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it
We cannot allow those once in power to rewrite history.
If you agree RT this FACT CHECK
@bbcpress We don't listen to Radio 2 much these days but we never miss Sounds of the 70s, our era. Johnny is just so knowledgeable, professional & warm. We will miss him so much.
Thread.
I read my notes, and I think I will have a go at describing the Johnson interview for those who didn't/ couldn't watch it.
Despite valiant attempts by Tom Bradby, a dissatisfying affair
NB: To save characters I'll refer to Johnson as BJ. No pejorative intent

Boris Johnson has crawled out of the woodwork to join Nigel Farage in saying the UK needs a referendum on ECHR membership
If UK media is going to give him a platform to spout this boll**** it’s
up to all of us to call it out. RT this if you agree
My complaint to the BBC
You are about to broadcast a program about disgraced former PM Johnson so he can plug his book.
This is a disgrace and the program should not be broadcast
Please COMPLAIN !
A recurring theme. I know from personal experience, and observing it happen to others, what the agenda is. Try to make someone/something reasonable appear unreasonable. Lie about it/them. Build a narrative that they are something they are not. Anyone with sense knows the score.
My unionist identity -and I make no secret of my unionism-is not threatened by Irish language; GAA sports pitch; SF as the largest party etc. Unionism/loyalism needs to stop being spooked by everything and, instead, focus on a positive, upbeat agenda. It needs new voices, too.

Despite all the precedents, it is incredible to watch media figures & outlets who were supremely comfortable with a Prime Minister breaking all manner of rules, regulations & conventions hysterically attacking a Prime Minister who has broken precisely none.
