[Khandro]

How will he fare?

[Khandro]

jourdain; If ever one wanted an object lesson in how the liberal left virtue signallers attempt to close down debate, it's right here!

[Kromovaracun]

No Khandro, Breitbart made a more specific claim that turned out to be wrong:

[Old_Geezer]

Hardly a move. Just expressing the same old truth once more.

[Khandro]

Snopes, omg!

[gulliver1]

Breitbart . Is he the Gormless looking man on Spicecracks avatar ?

[Spicerack]

Snopes? Ahahahaha, breathe.

[Kromovaracun]

Yes, snopes. A website whose specific goal is fact-checking. I can see why that might be problematic to Breitbart.

[naomi24]

The on-going argument over websites used detracts from the topic under discussion. Wherever this news comes from, Boris is right.

[Khandro]

snopes. A website whose specific goal is fact-checking (and run by a couple of crooks!)

[Kromovaracun]

Care to substantiate?

[jim360]

Boris is a man whose sole interest is his career.

[Old_Geezer]

Possibly so, but if it results in him supporting the democratically arrived at decision, does that matter so much ?

[jim360]

Yes, because it would imply a less-than-honest motive.

Fair enough, I wasn't aware of that behaviour on the part of its founders. I'm not sure that is a good reason to make regular use of fake news sites like Breitbart though.

[Khandro]

Kromo; //fake news sites like Breitbart//

I cannot vouch for everything either on Breitbart UK, the BBC, the Sun or any other news outlet, but just out of interest, will you take a quick look at today's edition, and tell me what you consider to be "fake news" please?

I gave you a heap of examples earlier. Typically the reason sites like that have an advantage is because it takes time to fact-check - and by the time that's done the story has already been circulated and is no longer current (this is what famously happened with Milo Yiannopoulos's story about christmas lights being banned in Sweden because of Muslims). So no, I'm afraid I don't have the time or inclination to fact check every story on the front page. I shouldn't have to.

Khandro, if you think you're going to get a discussion about the OP I fear you're wasting you're time.
