#6 It turns out he wasn't urged at all. It was suggested that would be the wording that a proper editor would have insisted on, with a note to the journalist that a waspish subject specialist of a minor and fading party that may soon have no representation in Parliament whatsoever is perhaps not worth quoting at all -- was the Opposition shadow minister uninterested in making a comment?

Tom Brake, the Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman, told the Guardian: “Just days into his new role, Boris demonstrates again why it was a huge gamble appointing him. The off-the-cuff remark may suit Have I Got News for You, but it doesn’t the tragedy in Munich. In future, Boris needs to hold his tongue until he is in full possession of the facts. There is too much as stake.”

#7 Is this like - it's only a hate crime if whites do it - brand of Newspeak approved terminology? How many times has a 'challenged' individual done something similar and it's always the NRAs fault over here.

~~Boris~~ The MSM needs to hold his tongue until he is in full possession of the facts.

Facts, who needs damn facts, we got a narrative. Ok, then we both can have our own narrative too.

#8 Liberal Democrat party was totally annihilated in the previous election.
Total disaster.
Lost vast majority of their seats and UKIP got several TIMES more votes.

#12 It used to be that they would find violent ways by being a bomb throwing commie back in the day.
The Current Administration uses many levels of legal bomb throwing, and has an administrative state and an appellate over-run.

His weakness incites those that feed off of it like a troth, and his sight is removed from the consequence.

This evasion of precepts of reality of man. This converts to encouraging the rest of the World to do the dirty work for him

Who commands that submission? That is not submission, that is annihilation of you all.

If you want to work for that, it's your ring of fire, not mine.

You really need to focus on you, not InShallah.
