BJ did not say he hadn’t authorised it, he said he didn’t intervene. Two different things, obviously.

When you have to resort to casuistry, you’re backing the wrong horse - but to be fair, you’re so far up Johnson’s fundament, you can probably see papa smurf’s shoe soles… 
If someone authorises something that’s an intervention - they’re altering a course of events by allowing it to happen; before Johnson’s authoritisation, it wasn’t likely to happen, because pets weren’t a priority.
No. 10 are still denying he did anything…
