The gammon turning on Piers Morgan because he’s defending the media is a wonderful sight, however, as much as it pains me, he’s actually in the right this time

Yes of course as he also has a battle
that No Conservative MP's can appear
on GMBHD itv
while he is on.

A battle going on with Pres Sec.
Mr. Cain
in Downing Street.

Didn't I see Laura Kuenssberg ask Boris a question on the news last night? Has her boycott finished already?

Alf 04-02-2020 10:31 AM

Get em' Boris.

No it was recorded
a day back , I think.

When they put that on the Lazy BBC News
it would help if they put "yesterday"

arista 04-02-2020 10:57 AM

Laura is a Long time Mate of Johnson
(did a one on one docu with him, when he was under T. May)
and was invited in with SkyNews
and the Telegraph etc.

But they all stand together
as Peston of ITV
was a long time BBC worker

To many Left Wing
Journalists are Trouble Makers

You are really starting to worry me arista..

We all know why he's done this, did I suggest there would be a lurch to the right post majority and post brexit?

Fair play to the others for highlighting this, what is he plotting that he only wants a right wing spin on that's worrying me..

I'm surprised the guardian was in with those allowed in, maybe they aren't as left leaning as we think? Hmm

No comment on what your government is trying to do here? Exclude some media from information?
Doesnt it worry you?
Is that what a democratic government claiming to govern for all should do?
All you've got is a sarky comment on morality of the press?
Maybe you could spare a sarky comment on morality of the former journalist who leads the government? You know, the one who was sacked twice for lying, who tried to have someone beaten up, who is a serial philanderer? No comment on his morals and his attempt at dictatorial information politics worthy of a tin pot dictatorship not a "global outward looking" Britain?

Amen!!

No Johnson PM
has to not get ,the wrong headlines
as the EU is watching it all.

Tom4784 04-02-2020 01:15 PM

You don't need to take people's freedoms when they'll willingly hand them over. Tory voters will gladly do just that, it seems.

If Boris is trying to control which parts of the press get coverage depending on if they'll give him the spin he wants then that's a bad sign for our freedoms. If you're cheering on Boris for this, you are cheering on the erosion of our rights. Anyone who is cheering this on can stop pretending to care about the military and the sacrifices made for our freedoms when people are willingly cheering on those sacrifices being rendered in vain by the actions of this government.

It's a slippery slope and the Tories and their supporters are greasing that slop even further.

We are also watching... there are no such things as wrong headlines, the briefings from the govt should be free for all media, if we have a free press which is of course the cornerstone of democracy.

Untill of course it's their lives impacted but by then it will be too late.

Nah, even when it starts to effect them, it'll be the fault of Labour or Remainers or any other scapegoats they can name. They won't turn their backs on their Tory Messiahs any time soon.

Do we have free media or not?

We are talking about official briefings here not some whispered inside info.

Its government's duty to provide information to all free media.

If government doesn't want something reported as confidential then they should keep their mouths shut.

You are purposefully confusing two different things here.

Dom and Johnson
are getting Brexit Deal sorted this year
no one can stop it.

It has everything to do with shutting out
Left Wing Publications and Media.

And why would a left wing perspective scupper a trade deal?

No it will not

Johnson PM just blocks who he talks to
Like Corbyn did.

It can slow everything down
The New Trade Deal is Complex

Tom4784 04-02-2020 01:53 PM

Except he's not, he's trying to select who gets updates that all Media are entitled to, Arista.

He's trying to curb press freedom.

Tell that to BBC


This is government for all citizens not some private enterprise
Media represents all sections of society.

This is disenfranchisement of left wing citizens.

Not governing for all just a few

Shame on you for defending this grab on democratic freedom of the press
