Ulster veterans set to be thrown under the bus to appease nationalists.

It's not a good look I must admit. Am I right in saying IRA personnel are immune from prosecution for God knows how many murders?

Is anyone surprised?

the nation voted for a known liar who has no understanding of what truth and honesty are.

What did we expect?

 

[EFLImpudence]

Good job he's not in charge of covid measures.

 

[ellal]

A cesspit indeed...

But talking of veterans, dead or not...

‘Pervasive racism’ blamed for failure to commemorate black and Asian troops'

"Tens of thousands of predominantly black and Asian service personnel who died fighting for the British Empire were not properly commemorated due to "pervasive racism", a report has said.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission apologised after it found individuals were not formally remembered in the same way as white troops."

"The events of a century ago were wrong then and are wrong now," it said.

What did Johhny Mercer expect?

JM was one of Bojo biggest supporters and this should not come as a surprise, least of all JM.

The Tories cosied up to the DUP and then discarded them. Then Bojo lied about the border and not having checks, to appease the nationalists he sold the veterans down the river.

Tories don't even trust Tories. But Bojo is a good laugh..

Not quite. There are a number of 'on the runs' who have been told they are not being sought at the moment. One escaped trial when a judge ruled telling him he was not wanted, then nicking him was not acceptable. There will also be under the table deals too...

Let him have his 15 minutes in the headlines, just sour grapes as he was on his way out anyway!

 

[noseall]

, just sour grapes

Nonsense. Boris and his cronies are seasoned liars.

The guy has been sacked or moved sideways and wanted to kick back. Everybody from whatever party is a liar, it is expected.

 

[JohnD]

Everybody

That's a common attempt by Buffoon supporters to excuse his awful deceit and dishonesty, and the shocking standards of behaviour in public office his leadership encourages and tolerates.


"Everybody does it" say supporters of Catholic priests, shoplifters and insurance fraudsters.

 

[SirGalahad]

The point is when does he tell the truth. Dismissing it because everyone does it, well everyone isnt the PM.

I bet if your Dr lied to you, would you just shrug your shoulders and say ah well I did defend Bojo so I have to be consistent and accept lying has no consequences.

Or if the Pilot says, well I have done this landing a thousand times (when he hasn't) or I am certified .

Or this childcare minder who will look afer your kids is not a sex offender -lies don't matter.

Yet more nonsense and taking topic off track. Start your own thread on Catholic priests if you want too.

 

[JohnD]

It's common for supporters of a known rogue to try to deflect criticism of despicable behaviour, since there is no excuse for it.

Buffoon is a known liar, and he promotes and tolerates dishonesty among his underlings.

@just pumps will probably try to divert attention by talking about cleaning his boat, or drinking beer, next.
