This pro-Brexit LBC caller is happy Boris Johnson is lying – and we’re right through the looking glass
There are currently petitions, street protests and a lot of media and online outrage over Boris Johnson’s plan to prorogue Parliament for the longest time in decades, yet this caller to James O’Brien’s radio show has more than made peace with the PM lying. Watch and wonder.
Caller John used the giveaway term, “Remoaners”, so we know which colours he’s nailed to the mask, but the cognitive dissonance is still depressingly impressive. LBC tweeted the astonishing clip.
John from Halifax made an astonishing admission to James O'Brien this morning, claiming that he knows Boris Johnson is lying about his intentions for proroguing parliament, but supports him regardless.@mrjamesob | #Prorogationhttps://t.co/Ai9nilcjBd

Amazingly, John was not alone.
What's astonishing about that? It's obvious that Boris has outwitted the remoaners by suspending parliament on the back of The Vipers Nest of traitors to oust or stop Boris. A great move. Basically he's out lieing the liars. Playing the game. So what?

Some suggested John might be a plant – as in a person colluding with James, rather than a cabbage or something.
‘John’ the leftie plant?🤔

Another staged call to make leave voters look stupid. James O'Brien has some funny mates in that pub where he drinks. pic.twitter.com/rvR7Nbspis

Twitter user @howardstaveley summed up the situation.
The original Brexit promises are long gone, and yet support remains, that tells you it doesn't matter what it is anymore, they just want 'it' more than they've ever wanted anything, and there is a very long list of unsavoury things that people will condone to get it.
