Just the other day, I was trying to remember when I first
heard about Boris Johnson. I can recall a Youtube video of him going around showing
him rugby tackling a German chap in a charity football match and everyone
thinking it was funny. At that point, I just thought he was a harmless but

I have never heard an entirely false accusation that was initially released on a far-right conspiracy theory website. That's crazy stuff.
