Default Boris wrong - who would have thought it?


The press regulator has ordered the Telegraph to print a correction
after ruling that Boris was wrong when he claimed in his column that a
no-deal Brexit was the public's preferred option.

IPSO. That's the industry one, not the Leveson one I think.

A small victory, but he isn't the only one to be spreading that
particular lie - John Redwood recently. And it gets traction and is

Unfortunately, Boris was in fact right.

"IPSO has forced The Telegraph to amend a column Boris wrote in January
in which he suggested No Deal was the most popular option with the
public. A Remainer academic from Reading University complained to IPSO
extraordinarily hysterically saying that Boris column was clearly out
of the Trump/Bannon playbook. The piece has now been amended to say

In fact, no poll clearly showed that a no-deal Brexit was more
popular than the other options. This correction is being published
following a complaint upheld by the Independent Press Standards
Organisation.

IPSO is mistaken on this point, IPSO clearly didnt look at this Opinium
poll just before Boris wrote his column and as reported at the time by
the BBC:"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46735713

So its just more political witch huntin by remoaners.,

Like the 'did leave overspend illegally' which the judge decided they
did (accidentally) *after being advised to by the same body that then
accused them*.

Who knows what the public prefer? It may not be Boris but I very much
doubt that the Press Council have any different meaningful information.

You have cast aspersions at reporting by the BBC accusing it of bias
throughout the time of the Brexit debate if not before so why should we
believe it is credible because this time you happen to want to use a report
by
them to support your P.O.V.

Normally anything from the BBC you immediately shout down so why should we

Well, it is my preferred option.
Is your preferred option more worthy than mine, or mine more worthy than

That suggests that a more accurate claim (if there is such a thing from

remaining is a more popular alternative to her deal than a no-deal Brexit.

Hum. The non-leave without a deal vote was split by 5 other options. Now
find a poll where there is a straight choice: leave no deal or remain.

I like Boris but think he would make a poor PM.

The poll doesn't actually ask if no deal is preferred over the other
options, only if its prefered to May's deal.
You know this but still claim it backs Boris's claim that the public
backs a no deal more, it doesn't say that which is why it wasn't used as
evidence to back Boris's misinformation.

Sadly of course Boris was only reporting what was in an opinion poll
that the BBC published.

Project fear is of course the atttack on Boris that caused the false
retraction.

There, I've corrected it for you.

The BBC poll you provided a link to was only about whether people
supported May's deal or not. It did not ask what alternative they
supported instead. However, it is not likely that the remainers, who
disliked the deal even more than the Brexiteers, would support a no-deal
Brexit instead.

concerned. One could find a dozen examples of such "misreporting" every
day. So why are IPSO so keen to jump on this tiny example? Two guesses.


Only one needed. Somebody complained and they are then obliged to
investigate.

The press regulator has ordered the Telegraph to print a correction

Unfortunately, Boris was in fact right.

"IPSO has forced The Telegraph to amend a column Boris wrote in January
in which he suggested No Deal was the most popular option with the
public. A Remainer academic from Reading University complained to IPSO
extraordinarily hysterically saying that Boris column was clearly out
of the Trump/Bannon playbook. The piece has now been amended to say

In fact, no poll clearly showed that a no-deal Brexit was more
popular than the other options. This correction is being published
following a complaint upheld by the Independent Press Standards
Organisation.

IPSO is mistaken on this point, IPSO clearly didnt look at this Opinium
poll just before Boris wrote his column and as reported at the time by
the BBC:"

You have cast aspersions at reporting by the BBC accusing it of bias
throughout the time of the Brexit debate if not before so why should we
believe it is credible because this time you happen to want to use a report
by
them to support your P.O.V.

Normally anything from the BBC you immediately shout down so why should we
believe it this time.


Beacuse it merely cut and pastd from an opinion poll.

You are always claiming the BBC is iomparetuial, so why would you
dispute that anyway?

I dont think I have ever mentioned any opinion on the BBC before so I
dont see where you get always claiming the BBC is ( some misspelt word)
from .
As a self professed expert on the most things you should have no trouble
finding any post I have made from the past to back up your statement so
please do so, and repost it here ,Ill look back tomorrow to see if you
have managed to do so otherwise your statement will just have to be
regarded as yet another example of inaccurate lying bull**** so beloved of
Brexiteers in the furtherance of their cause.

So , no evidence of any previous occasions where I have mentioned the BBC
in previous postings yet to justify
your phrase of you are always claiming the BBC is ( impartial
presumably).

Thats because I had never mentioned them before which means you are a
lying **** who makes things up.

Find an example of when I have brought up the BBC before to justify you
assertion of always

You cant so you were wrong no matter how many insults you throw back
hoping to disguise your statement like so many of yours is tailored to your
beliefs rather than fact.

As for mirrors with your bad luck with marriage,health and Brexit not going
how you wish you must have broken one about 7 years ago.
