Boris distances himself from the truth - again

Boris Johnson, the twice sacked liar and potential PM, wrote a column in The Telegraph on Monday in which he claimed that the German employers organisation the BDI had "very sensibly reminded us there will continue to be free trade and access to the single market".

The BBC checked with the BDI later on Monday and they were a bit surprised apparently (see HERE). It was apparently untrue.  The BDI may have been surprised but we weren't.

The BDI told the BBC they had never and would never say such a thing.

Bear in mind that The Times sacked Boris for making things up when he worked as their Brussels correspondent and he wrote a letter to David Cameron during the campaign about exaggerated claims being corrosive to public trust. Outright lies are of course, OK.  Pity those MPs in the house who have to call him honourable.
