The same Adam Bolton who blocks anyone using the hashtag #mediascum to describe his biased reporting?

Possibly he objects to the origin of the tag? Regardless, it doesn't diminish the facts.

 

A Brief History of 'Lügenpresse,' the Nazi-era Predecessor to Trump's 'Fake News'

Used in World War I to attack enemy propaganda, the phrase 'lying press' resurfaced under the Nazis and during the 2014 anti-immigrant movement in Germany is now staple of Trump's rhetoric.

Anybody that relies on Adam Boulton tweets is in desperation street, we all know how bully boy Boulton is and how he treats his staff. He was caught on camera saying 'Borax to Brexit' after he thought the cameras were turned off, and was caught out having an affair with Tony Blairs spin doctor Anji Hunter. 

I appreciate that you don't like facts which put your Dear Leader in a bad light but regardless of the medium, the result is clear. Johnson has screwed up in the most tragic of ways, such that England, and, as a result, the rest of the UK, has the world's worst performance in tackling COVID. 

 

Top tip for all Johnson fanboys: when trying to protect him, best to avoid accusing others of indiscretion or infidelity. That way, you are less likely to send the rest of us into gales of bitter laughter.

If you're seeking evidence in support from that far back you might as well look at the origins of how Spanish flu was so named ????

But then we would be veering even further off topic so let's stick to the facts, most tragic being that England has the world's worst death rate from COVID as recorded and reported by the Financial Times. Or is the FT now part of the MSM / fake news conspiracy too?

Nobody is trying to protect anybody, but I notice that no-one else is getting hounded like Dom Cummings is, do you think that any family should have to put up with the baying wolves at their door, shouting abuse, when is enough enough, these people are worse than animals, I just hope this disgusting behaviour never happens to you or any of your family. Talking about the punishment fitting the crime, he was found to have committed a minor infringement, but the MSM and the lefties won't rest untill they have hung, drawn and quartered him and his crime was making sure that the democratic vote was fulfilled. The MSM and some of the left have not got heir own way so somebodies head must roll, and that somebody just happens to be Dominic Cummings.

This wasn't happening before his trip to Durham and visit to Barnard Castle was exposed. Total fake news from Cummings.

Why are Brexiteers so keen to defend Cummings?

Brexit is done.

Wait. Are you worried about actually leaving Johnson in charge on his own?

I guess he did it for the very simple reason, that Boris apologists keep on trying to deny this truth. You might have imagined that even they would have reached a point of embarrassment where they gave up, but they have nailed their colours to the mast and are incapable - it seams - of facing reality.

I think it's great that we have been able to bring poverty and fascism to our country in such a short time.  It goes to show that we were no better than the Wiemar republic.  It's a bid sad that it will probably be equally difficult to reverse, but no pain without gain, eh?

So exactly which People's Lefty Democratic Republic do you live in then? You illiberal types usually do favour fascist ideals when it comes to dealing with an impoverished populace. If you had a majority you might be able to make your reverse, if not you'll have to put up with democracy and the will of the people.

He hasn't got the guts to own up to going on a trip to the castle on his wife's birthday. Nonsense about testing his eyes <deleted>.

Who has been denying that and did they give any reason for denying it ?

Also nonsense about being under threat at his london home or being able to provide childcare for his son. Ergo, no justification for not isolating the family at their primary residence as per government (Cummings) instructions. Only a halfwit or a Boris fanboy (possibly one and the same) could believe the pathetic excuses he gave.

 

I can see now why he was 30 minutes late giving his speech. probably arrived at No 10; the backroom boys read his speech and said to him,

 

"Dom old boy you can't present this nonsense, not even a halfwit would believe it" to which Dom replied;

 

"Boris believed it, he said it was brilliant".

Catherine Calderwood was hounded out of office by the media. I don't recall you mounting as strong a defence of her position. 

 

But regardless, for me the issue is less to do with his indiscretion (which, I agree, taken in isolation is trivial) but the fact that the architect of the UK's COVID response - and of the lockdown rules themselves - failed to heed the very rules he set out for everyone else. Compound that with the infantile lies and contradictions that he and his cohorts told over an agonisingly prolonged number of days, treating the electorate as fools and distractions, and it is clear that he needs to go.

The MSM do not choose governments, as much as they would like to, the electorate does. Cummings is going no-where, much to your consternation.

Worked for Cummings in the Brexit campaign. It was his main motivational speech to his team.
