Boris Johnson and His Alleged Lies: Is Pork Pie the Latest Example?

The recent discussion of Melton Mowbray pork pies in the context of a potential trans-Atlantic trade deal has brought back memories of Boris Johnson's propensity for questionable statements. This essay aims to explore whether pork pies should be treated any differently from his other antics or if they are another example of his dubious claims.

Rising Above the Filth: Boris Johnson's Suspected Lies

It's time we stepped into a GCSE history lesson, but with a twist. What do all of the following items have in common?

Pork Pies Kippers Conversation with the Queen Hands on thighs Public money to favor someone you’re having an affair with Lies on the side of a bus Being sacked for lying about an affair Endangering a UK woman in jail in Iran Winston Churchill’s bust in the White House Turkey joining the EU Breaking the Ministerial code by not declaring private income Blazing row and police called by neighbor Cocaine Small Italian penises Spending ￡20,000 of taxpayer money to avoid Commons vote

In other words, why should pork pies be different to anything else? The answer, almost certainly, is yes.

The TV Appearances and Lying Rampage of Boris Johnson

So far, Boris Johnson has appeared on television lying about:

Kippers (UKIP) Pork pies A bus ￡350m a week Yesterday, he was pictured with a bull minus the shit or maybe not.

It appears that his latest attempt at influencing Google searches of his previous lies is a sinister strategy. Even more bizarre, many Britons still believe him to be a "jolly chap." This is especially ironic considering his advisor's recent suggestion that he might break the law for the country to crash out of the EU. Thankfully, some media continue to hold his feet to the fire.

A Critical Look at Political Honesty

While it's unfair to single out Boris Johnson, the political environment seems to be rife with unverified statements, misinformation, and outright falsehoods. The phrase "slashing red tape" has become a scapegoat in his rhetoric, and his claims about Melton Mowbray pork pies in the context of trade deals raise eyebrows.

The VM_Pork Pie Company, which is one of the most recognizable brands in the world, is not allowed in the US for a specific reason. The USDA requires all pork products in the US to have meat that has been mangled to support massive industries.

Does this mean that the US is protecting rich Americans from "shit"? Not exactly. It's more about strict agricultural regulations and the desire to support their own industries. The American public has been shielded from the reality of what they eat for a long time. If they were to start importing real food, they might realize they've been eating "shit" for decades, which could lead to a troubled scenario.

Conclusion

The need for transparency and honesty in politics cannot be overstated. Boris Johnson's behavior, along with his peers, contributes to a culture of mistrust. It is crucial for politicians to hold themselves accountable and maintain the trust of the governed. While pork pies may seem trivial, they are indicative of a larger issue of political disingenuity.
