Johnson accused of lying over telling officials to bin forms
Original: ‘If somebody asks you (to fill in a form) you tell them to ring up the Prime Minister & I will direct them to throw that
A quote attributed to Boris Johnson is circulating widely, in which he allegedly told someone that if asked to fill in a form, they should tell the person to ring the Prime Minister and he would direct them to throw the form in the bin. Journalist Peter Stefanovi2 shared the quote, calling it a barefaced lie and asking why it was not being shown on every UK news channel. Critics are demanding more coverage of the remarks.
Why now: People are angry that Boris Johnson allegedly dismissed official paperwork and say UK media is under-reporting it.
