Learning of the death of one of your childhood heroes is always a sad experience, and it seems 2018 was a year when we had to say goodbye to too many of them. No matter your area of interest, we all would have keenly felt the loss of someone from the celebrity world last year - from political big-hitters like George H.W. Bush and Paddy Ashdown; to sporting stars Cyrille Regis and Eric Bristow; and icons of stage and screen from Stan Lee to June Whitfield, all will be greatly missed. And the losses have continued into 2019, with the sad news that we have already lost such much-loved people such as WWE Hall of Famer "Mean" Gene Okerlund, Albert Finney, and England goalkeeping legend Gordon Banks.

‘Boris Johnson is a shameless pathological liar who will let you down’
Boris Johnson is a shameless and pathological liar. He lies about anything. He lies about his private life. He lies to his friends. He lies to his colleagues. And he has been accused of misleading the Queen. This is a man who is so untrustworthy you would never tolerate him as a work colleague. You would never hire him as an employee. And you would refuse to work with him as your boss. If he makes a promise, he will break it. He can be guaranteed to let you down. We are talking about the prime minister of Britain. Today, we go to the polls to decide whether we want him to run this country for the next five years. It will be a disaster if we put this proven and habitual liar back into Downing Street. Take the NHS. Mr Johnson swears blind that he loves the NHS and will not put it at risk by entering into trade deals with the United States. Don’t trust a word of these assurances. Remember that Johnson has repeatedly lied to us about the NHS throughout For instance, he promises to … [Read more...] about ‘Boris Johnson is a shameless pathological liar who will let you down’
