Tory MP: Newsnight Made Boris “Look Like Hannibal Lecter”
After main the defence of Charlie Elphicke and Imran Ahmed Khan, final evening it was Boris’s flip to be backed up by MP Adam Holloway. Shortly after the end result, Holloway appeared on BBC Newsnight to bat for the PM. Standing in Central Foyer, iPad in-hand, Holloway accused the programme of mocking up Boris to “appear to be Hannibal Lecter“. He had a screenshot to ‘show’ it…
“I feel there’s nice injury to the popularity of politics and… it also needs to do nice injury to organisations just like the BBC. This programme I’m on now was displaying photos of him trying like Hannibal Lecter in the beginning… you’ve acquired razor blades. I imply, does that man appear to be somebody who has been given a birthday cake, or somebody who’s simply been locked up for one thing on the Previous Bailey? I imply this factor has been completely blown out of proportion, when truly we ought to be thanking this man.”
The accusation will remind all eager politicos of the equally absurd 2018 row when Corbynistas, not least Owen Jones, accused the BBC of Photoshopping Corbyn’s hat to look ‘extra Soviet’. The Boris fightback begins right here women and gents…
