SHAPESHIFTER : World King of dissembling, truth twisting, gaslighting and use of racist tropes for short term political advantage, Donald Trump, has thrown his support behind his beleaguered mini Trump in England, Boris Johnson.
That’s if you can believe this fabrication, which is more honest and real than anything either of those two bloviating megacockwombles would come out with.
The support has been made necessary by a sudden trend in the U.K. to label the Prime Minister a liar, because he is.
“That’s no lie,” a 10 Downing Street source told LCD Views. “Boris Johnson has a rich history of total disregard for the truth which has only been exacerbated by attaining high office. But we would appreciate it if no one mentioned it.”
Unfortunately for the PM the Labour MP Dawn Butler did mention it in the demob atmosphere of the House of Commons, just prior to the whole show going off for six weeks holiday, in the ongoing pandemic.
“Sir Keir is getting a little pricklier too,” the source notes, “and we can only hope these events aren’t a sign that the official opposition is deciding to oppose. That isn’t in our plan.”
The need to call out lies and oppose as forcefully as possible has been present in the U.K. since, well, forever, as it’s theoretically a representative democracy. But the need is all the more pressing since the criminally corrupted, advisory referendum which decided the country’s future on the basis of a mountain of horseshit. And each day the need grows stronger.
“We haven’t had to deal with an opposition for years so let’s just hope calling old Boris a liar isn’t the start of a disturbing trend!”
For his part the PM has been on early release down in Chequers but is expected to issue a statement later today on the state of the palace’s wallpaper.
“He will also address what happened in parliament yesterday,” the source adds, “and deny it happened, before going on to affirm in half remembered Ancient Greek that no one has ever called him a liar.”
Know thyself. The PM does and he does not give a shit.
