No, you misunderstood the question.

I asked you for an MP who wasn't a liar...... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-51964434

1/10 must try harder.

She admitted her error, rather than first denying it happened, then blaming it on others, then saying she was ambushed, then saying there's a war on.

Hahaha, you are delusional She denied doing anything wrong, and carried that on until she was found guilty of breaching the code of conduct!

"Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion since 2010, insisted she has done nothing wrong, but said she cannot comment further as investigations by the parliamentary commissioner for standards are confidential."

Very few brave soldiers on show in the commons today. So many seem to have gone into hiding that it felt like something in House had really shifted.

Obama on Guantanamo "Today, President Obama announced the plan to close the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay once and for all -- saying that keeping the prison open undermines our national security and stains our broader record on upholding the highest standards of rule of law."

You need to do better. Obama issued an executive order to close Guantanamo. He couldn't get it past Congress which which had a Republican majority. He announced the plan, he enacted the plan but the plan couldn't be carried out due to Congress which he did not control.

There is no lie there.

Again not actually true. She had not been aware that it was a breach of the code of conduct based on anecdotal evidence.
Boris Johnson has lied throughout his career. He lied about breaking the law because he knew he had broken it. He has been sacked for lying from previous jobs. His career was built on lying about Europe. He made the laws, announced the laws, broke them anyway and then lied about it.

There is no comparison to any other event in public office. The only thing he has not done, is the decent thing that all of his predecessors would have done, and that is to resign. This is because he is not a decent man, he is a liar, an egotist and a philanderer. His only concern in life is himself. This is the man who had an affair whilst his wife was being treated for cancer.

Everyone does it, politicians all lie.

Corbyn ?
But is that the best you can do to try and defend Johnson lol ... .I suppose desperate times call for desperate measures.
I remember a time when he was the "next Churchill" 🤣

Except for when you don't, like me.👍

The operative word in that sentence is 'usually' - my head is full of pointless, ill-informed, risible, unworkable, utopian, nihilistic, grotesque, beautiful, fanciful, dreary and generally rubbish opinions all the time, and fortunately, most of the time they stay there!

However I can't help myself correcting the occasional shcoolboy howler on less-than-insignificant internet forums, from time to time.

Unless that was a misplaced apostrophe there - whatever would make you think I don't like you?

Some nice long words and a little bit of pedantry thrown in for good measure, well done you.

If you didn't think your own opinions are important, or at least slightly less unimportant than the ones you come here to contradict, why would you bother expressing them?

Fwiw I don't think my own opinions are important (ie they might be correct, but they can't and won't ever make any sort of difference in any way, ever) so I usually keep them to myself.

?

See my earlier response to your funny little pal.

Not really long words, dear - maximum 3-syllable and descriptive, I thought. Oh - off I go, being pedantic again...

There's a spelling mistake in there an' all.

So when Caroline Lucas doesn't understand the rules it is someone else's fault? That is what you are saying here isn't it?

Spelling mistakes don't usually shout cool!
