You can tell when a normal politician lies. You see they are furtive. You see they avoid the question, or they twist it to suit their needs
Either that or he doesn't care
When asked about Hall Hall's resignation he says he does not even know who she is. Which is either shockingly lax, or a massive whopper
But this is different
Most politicians lie, but they know when they do and when they don't, and many observers can tell when they do and don't as well
But Johnson? Shameless lies are the default
It's a grim choice, but the less bad option is clear
