The Yorkshire Post ran a story about a boy with suspected pneumonia being treated on the floor as there was no bed for him. The story was featured on the Mirror front page.
Bad enough as that was, the Toxic Tories managed to make it worse.
First Bullshitter Boris was confronted by an ITV reporter. Johnson said he hadn't seen the picture so the reporter got out his phone to show him.
Johnson grabbed the phone & stuffed it in his pocket!
That's right, he stole a phone live on camera!
He then gave a rambling answer about Brexit before admitting that the case was shocking.
He did apologise for pinching the mobile & returned the phone he'd pocketed.
The shit storm that followed this got even worse when the Pointless Matt Hancock was sent to Leeds to look like the shambolic shits were doing something.
Then a story was reported by Kuenssberg, Preston etc that one of his aides had been punched in the face. This came from the Tory side and they didn't check.
Then a video came out showing the "punch". In fact there were a bunch of protesters and one was gesturing when the aide accidentally walked into his hand. Far from being punched it was, at best a glancing blow, and said aide didn't even react, carrying on his way.
Understandably this made the situation even worse with even the hacks who fell for the story now noting it was fake news.
As all & sundry pointed out, the tossers had tried to come up with something to distract from the whole 'kids being treated on the floor' story had been caught red-handed creating a (piss-poor) fake news story.
