Maybe that lies behind the rage and he thinks he could have guarded the BBC better if he'd had the reins.<br /><br />I don't know the ins and outs of the conduct of the PM and who has lied to their family and who hasn't. Dimbo also parted from his wife (and children?) and married another, I believe. It happens, we all know but who can say how wholesome and perfect has his own life been?

It was a hysterical display of progressive panic that ended in a shouting match because progressives can't admit that Erdogan has been playing the great dictator for 10 years, and is about to get his arse handed to him. Hilarious.
