Lies from Hancock and Johnson again stating it was  £900  million cost to the scheme below when it was actually £90 million they are becoming  experts at it but  I suppose you have to be good at something in life

Johnson’s u-turn this was today and he lied  saying in PM questions it was £900 million cost to the treasury when it was £90 million and they called  Diane Abbott .

This was two days ago .

Boris Johnson’s £900 million  and this is our PM and he is in charge of the country Makes Diana Abbott  look like a mathematical genius

But Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said scrapping the charge for these workers would only shave off a tenth of the total revenue raised. 
He put the cost to the Exchequer at nearer £90million, raising eyebrows as to why the PM used the overall £900million figure during Prime Minister's Questions.

It's like listening to one half of the conversation between the voices in your head....

Slow down Paul.

Half of its other peoples words! You know the bits you can read .

I wonder if he ever actually thinks for himself or just writes other peoples opinion parrot fashion desperately hoping it supports what he hopes it does ?

Unfortunately in most cases halfway down the page he pinches it from it doesnt! He just looked at the headline and didnt understand a word below it ,poor poor cod

I often like to quote people from history to show that the world does not change or evolve as it should. In this case that our resident troll is currently focussing on, I think the best one of the moment is a simple one “It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue about them” is the best, if clod does not have the intellect to understand that he is referring to two separate and distinctive sets of figures (total value of ‘health tourism’ against estimated cost of allowing a healthcare/NHS exemption) then that is his problem and not ours.

He can carry on posting links to newspaper and obscure internet sites and repeat those same random ramblings without realising or even, in the full knowledge that most of us do not accept or contribute to his click bait links.

Got my ‘Whitby Scampi” delivered today, going in the fryer tomorrow, have to see what it’s like but as long as it actually is whole tail  Dublin Prawns (and yes, I do actually understand that they do NOT live, breed or whatever near Whitby but as always I support U.K. businesses).

Interesting Clip on BBC News yesterday, a langoustine fisherman in Scotland now selling his catch to local customers! fancy that, who would have thought there is a market out there for people who wish to adapt.

Also interesting is Tiggers clip on people smugglers, how is Nigel Farage able to charter a fishing boat to go out into the Channel? presumably they are able to stand two meters apart,  CLOD can’t do that of course, he can’t go back to work and adapt to the rules, he can only sit on social media and copy paste things that he thinks support his view, whilst, (presumably) claiming a handout that the rest of us have to pay in the future.

No: I don't think Paul is stupid - just confused and unstructured in his thinking and writing.

It makes his posts unreadable and his points (I'm sure there must be a point their somewhere) unfathomable.

It might even go some way to explaining his complete intransigence when it comes to "EU good" and "Tories bad". He is literally stumbling over his own thoughts to try to formulate a response to such an extent that he never actually thinks about the merits of the point or position that he is trying to counter. The other thing he tends to do is slam the door of cognitive dissonance and he simply refuses to answer straightforward questions - which gets to be very annoying.

Emojis highlight Boris Johnson hilarious miscalculation from £90 million to £900 million a few quid out Ken , just think how Diane Abbott world have been  portrayed by the press it’s not even worth thinking about .It’s the voices in Boris Johnson’s head I would be more concerned about not to much between the lads ears for being our PM .

He has no chance with Starmer  far far to clever for Boris Johnson,   he desperately needs his cheerleaders sat behind him cheering him on , if he hasn’t  he is toast and looks like a lame duck bubbling a load  of jargon he doesn’t understand himself ..

I think all these "advisors" and "aids" whispering in their ears far more dangerous ,who know whos whispering in the "advisors" ears and if these whispers have brown envelopes attached to them .

So cod you never make mistakes then in your life then?speak truthfully now or spend days going through your old posts and removing them .

I certainly wouldnt like to be PM (from any party) having underlings telling you lies and you honestly reporting them for the world to see ,you can check ofcourse but the ministries are the old boy network they do as they please ,say what they please and are unecountable so will happily tell you night is day why would they care they only serve themselves not parliament or the people

No they are not ,its all been explained earlier using blairs example ,there we go again posting and reposting the same crap despite being shown its wrong

I will say it again if prime ministers were punished for doing the wrong thing ,lying or misleading tony blair would spend the rest of his life in prison ,there we go !

All you can do is vote out mps and vote in mps who will be exactly the same ! Those voted out probably will be voted back in or get promoted to the lords and the rest most probably get richer ,how is that punishment?

PS any laws voted in are also usually voted for by labour aswell watch the parliament channel you will be surprised how few actually vote things in ,look at reality not newspaper headlines

You do watch the parliament channel dont you? Sorry i forgot you only think headlines are real ,not reality itself
