When Max Clifford killed off my appointment as Global Chairman of EMI in 2000, he set the format for removing difficult people - now we see Boris, Trump and others ditched the same way. Inflating trivial issues into major ones in order to achieve a goal. In my case it was choosing to ignore the absurd differences in the Hetero/Gay ages of consent. Max, Police and Lawyers twisted the facts to get me convicted of crimes that never took place, scraping ages down a year. Now we see the stupid Covid/parties inflation get rid of Boris. Stupid trivial issues get rid of Trump (they hope). Just watch Imran Khan in India. They did it to Corbyn (anti semite rubbish). Watch it destroy Phillip Schofield as it has Weinstein and Cosby and Spacey and others. Find a weak spot; exaggerate it (better story). Works every time.

It is bad enough with the Max Cliffords, but one political leader using his power to eliminate his opponent is extremely sinister.
