Phoney War over

[SydneyRover]

Boris didn't say "There's no media here." He said "There's no press here."

Glad you dropped, plenty more hairs to split 

[Bentley Bullet]

If it is being used as part of someone's character assassination it's an important hair to split.

[SydneyRover]

Glad you dropped in, there's plenty more hairs to split 

[Bentley Bullet]

As long as you don't keep Rabbiting on.

[SydneyRover]

I'm all ears, waiting for you to write something useful.

[Bentley Bullet]

That's put a stop to me writing about you then.

[SydneyRover]

That's put a stop to me writing about you then.

The puns have dried up then

[Bentley Bullet]

Doh! I thought the buck stopped with you.

[SydneyRover]

You're getting warm .... Leveret

 I'm bored with this now, along with no doubt many others, so I'm not gonna pelt you with any more of these silly puns. I'm starting to get a receding hareline.

BB.

Ok, so he said press, not media. I'm struggling to see what your substantive point is, given that there was a photographer from the Press Association there, photographing him, and a video cameraman filming him and making those videos and photgraphs available to other Press outlets, all at his own office's request.

In my world, that constitutes "Press" being there.

Boris didn't say "There's no media here." He said "There's no press here."

So you think this link supports your version of the reality? 

"The pool system involves a certain level of co-operation between the government and media outlets on planning.

The idea is to ensure journalists get access to set-piece events without all the broadcasters sending teams of people to the same event to get the same shot''

[Bentley Bullet]

The idea is to not misquote them.

[SydneyRover]

The idea is to not misquote them.

Or to mislead the general public, but we are talking about Johnson the biggest miscreant next to Trump 

[Bentley Bullet]

For once I agree. The general public should not be misled by misquotes, such as the one saying Boris said: "There's no media here."

[SydneyRover]

 I can only visit this topic sporadically, hence my 'dropping in'. I can't persist with this type of grown-up politics.

[Padge_DRFC]

The reality is they're going to win a majority

They are far from certain to get a majority.

True. Farage labour's greatest allie

[MachoMadness]

For once I agree. The general public should not be misled by misquotes, such as the one saying Boris said: "There's no media here."

f**king hell.

[BillyStubbsTears]

No. It's alright.

BB's right. I was wrong.

Johnson clearly DIDN'T say "There's no media here."

He said, "There's no press here."

And we know he said that, because he was recorded saying by members of the Press Association.

Who were there.

Well there will be one less press there in future.

The freedom of the press is only now free if you agree with the establishment

[Bentley Bullet]

It started getting like that on here a few weeks ago until it was (hopefully) nipped in the bud.

[SydneyRover]

Maybe some of this will help bb

Saw them live 3 times BB. Absolutely brilliant.

[SydneyRover]

I saw them in the early day, much prefer split ends to Finn's middle of the road crowded house.
