Johnson’s crime crackdown busted: ‘This is just bluster to get headlines and get votes’
Boris Johnson: He may learn very quickly that he must think before making unsupportable announcements.
All it takes to destroy Boris Johnson’s bluster is a little in-depth questioning – as Emma Barnett proved when she destroyed Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, the deputy chair of the Commons public accounts committee on the BBC’s Newsnight yesterday (August 12).
The big question is: Why don’t the mainstream news media do this more often?
The public would be better-informed – so these news outlets would be carrying out their duty.
And, as far as the BBC is concerned, it would look good to Ofcom, which is currently investigating the corporation for breaches of its impartiality rule.
Here’s the video clip; it’s highly enjoyable:
This is all it takes to bust Johnson’s false promises, follow up questions!
It really is that easy, not sure why the rest of the BBC, Sky or ITV can’t do this? https://t.co/moIdOHnIW6— Devutopia (@D_Raval) August 13, 2019

“Or are you a government not attached to facts?”
Excellent. I’m not normall a follower of fan of MSM but that is a good one.
These incompetent Tory politicians, who appear to think that their plummy accents make them competent, could have been discredited years ago if they had been cross examined and challenged robustly by the media.
