Exactly this. The legislative body of the United Kingdom can only act properly if the facts presented to it are correct. Acting on incorrect information is how bad laws are made.

Of course mistakes can be made which is why, by convention, members of Parliament are required to correct statements which might mislead the house as soon as possible. It seems that, at best, Boris Johnson has not done this and, at worst, hid the truth from the house.

It could be argued that his statements did not have anything to do with legislation but statements to the house should be true (as known at the time) in all cases or the house cannot work in good faith

So my facts aren't right? Why don't you explain your remark then:

You think that the nation i.e. you included, will say "so what who cares" implies you don't care.

Care to elaborate? I am not a mind reader

You can do better than that. I beg you, don't turn into an "Ian" type anti-Brexit zealot, blinded by the fact we've left the EU.

The UK will forge its own path - dips have occurred first (mainly due to Covid and now Ukraine), then rising because British business will want to thrive - despite a useless government.

I was amused by your "full of shit" remark, though in total disagreement on the Redwood element of it. The rivers are "full of shit" because of greedy water companies taking advantage of lax laws (nothing to do with Brexit).

So full of shit.

‘Brexit to blame’ for UK’s sewage problems


Quote:
The prime minister’s own father has said Brexit is to blame for the UK’s current sewage predicament.

Speaking on LBC, Stanley Johnson said Britain was known as the “dirty man of Europe” before joining the European Economic Community, now the EU, in 1973.

Stanley said European regulations, which he was involved in writing, had transformed the quality of bathing water around the whole of Europe”, adding the UK “really did get a cleanup”.

Pressed on the subject this morning, Feargal Sharkey confirmed the PM’s dad’s analysis, saying you have to blame the government for this “whole sorry mess”.

I'm not blinded by anything other than wanting people to be held accountable for what they've said

Exactly. Because someone has the gift of the gab shouldn't make them unaccountable.

The rivers are full of brown cod partly because the UK is over influenced by lobbyists and MPs readily in their pockets. They can't easily be voted out due to our electoral system. We've swapped blue flags for blue passports.

Re: Johnson may have misled Parliament over parties, say MPs

The Partygate report is out, and Boris has received quite a shoeing.

Re: [Update] Boris misled just about everyone.

Do we need to change the thread title because he’s been found to have deliberately misled Parliament?

(And as if by magic)
