Questions, anyone??

The "London professor" named in FBI docs who's now gone to ground..
..and who Boris specifically denied meeting.
(H/t to @gavinsblog for top digging.)

This was our story last week.
In which Boris denied meeting Mifsud.
And @Tobias_Ellwood refused to answer questions about his meeting with George Papadopoulos.

....and here's Boris denying he'd ever met Mifsud.

(h/t @Peterjukes who first uncovered the Boris/Mifsud connection).

So we must believe Boris is in the spy game becasue he’s a Tory but we mustn’t think that Corbyn is becasue he’s a LW.
Despite there being “proof” on either side.

Amazing what one will choose to believe if one is biased enough.

Just saying.

Just sayin' that MP's of all persuasions do , should  and must meet foreign diplomats and 'officials'. Talking is better than shootin' and killin'.
Should John Major, John Smith Blair et al have made contact with the IRA and UDA?

The warmongers amonst us will say no, the more sensible will say yes. The troubles are in the past, as is the cold war against the Soviet Union.

Wether it is true ir not, wether he was doing something wrong ir nit ain't the point as we both know Andy, the fact that it wasn't splashed across the papers just shows the bias and propaganda factor. It's pathetic how people let themselves be used.

Of course the Mail and the Sun will cover it up. They are puppets of Murdoch and Dacre, who own the Conservative party.

Don't mention the " Mirror" will you?

Indeed, the worshippers of Corbyn, are clearly bat shit scared and people are calling rightly for an investigation.

Anyone found being complicit with spies, handing over information should be placed on trial.

Its a known fact Corbyn, has been close to not only Communists but terrorist groups

I just want to the truth to come out, no matter who is involved.

For the record I can’t stand Boris Johnson. I dislike him more than any labour MP.

Don't be silly. As I've pointed out before, Murdoch's newspapers have supported the Labour Party at almost as many general elections as the've backed the Tories over the past 50 years and given the Murdoch family's links with Blair in particular could equally (and just as ridiculously) be accused of "owning" Labour.

If you ever actually read the Daily Mail rather than simply regurgitating what you read in Mailwatch and similar anti-Mail chatrooms you would know that even though it formally supports the Conservative and Unionist Party, in accordance with editorial policy gong back beyond WW2, its leader columns, editor's opinion articles and contributed articles by leading journalists can be just as harsh and critical about the Conservatives as anything that appears in the solidly and almost unquestioning Labour supporting Daily Mirror.

And rightly so when harsh criticism is in order.

I take it that your recall that when the Blair regime won the 1997 general election it was with the active help of the Mirror's pollitical editor, who was then called in to direct the party's team of spin doctors. His name was Alastair Campbell, if your memory needs a jog. You know, Dodgy Dossiers, illegal war, deliberate lies to Parliament, God alone knows how many deaths.....

Risably, you are implying that Blair's Labour party in 1997 is the same politically as Corbyn's party.
Totally different. Blair was a centre ground Conservative who cottoned onto the unpopularity of Major and the Conservative party, saw an opportunity by getting elected with mainly centre ground policies under a Labour Banner. That is why The Mail , Murdoch and the Sun supported him.
As is their custom , they made a huge error of judgement, Blair turned out to be rotten, a capitalist,a war monger and looked to make a fast buck.
Sounds very familiar to many Conservatives.

No it doesn't and you haven't understood a word of what I have said.

Murdoch's switch of allegiance was because he saw that after Thatcher the Tories were a busted flush, and in any case his family were pretty pally with the Blairs at the time.

He was an unprincipled opportunist... just as former Mirror Group owner Bob Maxwell had been...not to mention him being a Labour MP, crook and the man best remembered for stealing his employees' pensions.

The Daily Mail has never broken trust or faith with its political principles.

As to Corbyn and his "new new old Labour" only time will tell.
