That would be unthinkable, and it would be economic and political madness”, but said this year that it should not be the UK’s priority to ensure there is “no border” between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, but rather that it should make sure such a border should not be “significantly harder”,
That is all opinion, which he is entitled to have.

or the time during the Brexit campaign when he said it was absolutely crazy that the EU was setting rules on the shape of bananas (spolier alert - it wasn't, and that has been continuously debunked since 1994, but continues to raise it's ugly head every so often), or the time he got fired as Shadow Arts Minister in 2004 for lying about affairs he had had.
Not sure about the Banana bollocks, but again not sure about your point. I see nothing factual in your examples and certainly nothing that would be in detriment to his comments on Burkhas..............

Ha, got an expert here obviously.


He was sacked by The Times for making up a quote and by Michael Howard for lying about an affair.

It's truly touching, and a little bit sad and immature, that you had to google, " all the times Boris Johnson had lied"'.

Congratulations, that puts you above most of the press. However, that also puts you in the weasel classification. I look forward to your redemption.
