Truth and Lies British politics in the Johnson era

In this week's Black Spy Podcast we couldn't but concentrate on the black arts of British politics as the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, comes under sustained pressure for his disregard of the government's own Covid 19 regulations. It's also a week when policing decisions, secret intelligence provided by the British Security Service (MI5), and the actions of foreign actors from China and perhaps beyond, are drawn into this political minefield.

Who is leaking the drip, drip feed of stories regarding the indiscretions of a hither to Teflon plated Prime Minister? Plus, the Prime Minister's Office, No10 Downing Street, seems hell bent on not keeping to the Covid 19 regulations that it has imposed on everybody else in the nation.

The lackadaisical attitude of PM Boris Johnson has created a culture in government which manifests itself in a lack of attention to detail and a disregard for the truth. However, the propagation of a post Brexit Nirvana that is based on a mythical England (UK), now revamped in flag toting patriotic cynicism of blame; directed at the EU and immigrants, has given Boris a staggering degree latitude to manipulation the truth unchallenged.

So, in this session, Carlton will also look at the make up of the British political system crowned by the Royals, a lack of a written constitution, the role of MPs, Ministers, Secretaries of State, The upper House of Lords, Ladies and clergy, foreign donors, political influencers, Civil Servants, SPADs and even the intelligence and Security Services, Police and the judiciary

This is another must hear Black Spy Podcast that informs, entertains and allows listeners to contextualise the geo-politics of an era and a nation.

This episode was released on Monday 17th of January 2022.
