Indeed. But remember, you are, I am fairly confident, neither a tory MP nor a tory party member. To them, I suspect they feel they have whittled it down to the mordern day's Churchill versus MacMillan.

(And to me, every last offering in a tub of Quality Street is a small lump of saccharine poo. Which is why, in actual fact, I like your analogy between said comestibles and the blue nitwits )

You should read what the neighbour has been reported as saying. Firstly, nothing odd in recording, it's evidence in case there is future denial by one or other of the parties (let's be honest, it's not unheard of for victims of domestic violence not to press charges). Secondly, the neighbour stated that once the Police had attended and decided all was well, ie no complaint was being pursued, that's when they reported it to the Guardian (who don't pay for stories) as they thought it was in the public interest as this moron is trying to be the next PM!!!

So, not quite your story of calling the guardian right after notifying the Police.


I find it very odd that when you hear Johnson's supporters being interviewed, they seem capable of turning a blind eye to absolutely anything he does!!!

Are you any better, if you seriously believe that the neighbours thought of the public interest. They resorted to that when the Police decided no action was needed, as they knew that to give the recording to the Guardian would then be the only way of engulfing him with negative publicity because they don't like him. To be fair, had it been, say, Corbyn, then other papers leaning to the right would have had a field day too. It is a cheap way of getting at someone you don't like. And a thought -how many pious folk on here can in all honesty say that they have never had a blazing row with their partner, possibly/probably overheard by neighbours. And if you (not necessarily personally) are going to say, as a future PM, he should not be rowing like this, then I think it follows that very few folk would be PM. . .

You don't know that.

All you know is that he had a blazing row so loud it could be recorded on a mobile next door (that's loud) and his neighbours are left wing and probably don't like his politics. I suspect Brexit is less of an issue for them.

It's been fascinating reading the defence of Boris and the attack on his neighbours. When did anyone ever give a s@@@ who gave the story to the press after s story like this.

If they had been Tories and given it to the Mail, the Mail would have run with it too. No newspaper would have turned it down.

The STORY is the police were called after three neighbours complained.

It looks like an argument after wine on a Sofa and his girlfriend did most the shouting, however it is well documented that Boris has a horrible temper behind the scenes and can flip in a moment.

He once sent an email to a journalist he didn't like telling to f@@@ off and die.

Appears to be a phrase he uses quite often:

Out of interest, why do you assume they are left wing? Is that purely because they voted remain?

The Sun the previous day :
She and her husband recorded the domestic dispute going on in the neighbouring flat. Naturally, their concern was so great that they immediately gave the recording to the left-wing Guardian newspaper who then published the details.

That’s right, the same Guardian which spent years howling about tabloid press intrusion.

Imagine their hissy-fit if The Sun had published the very same material about Jeremy Corbyn? Still The Guardian is no stranger to hypocrisy if it spies a chance to blacken the name of a Tory.


The people who work for that 'paper' really are the scum of the earth. Their only problem with that story is they didn't have it.

But I thought you would have learnt by now, nothing else matters as long as we 'get on with it'

Hard Border in Northern Ireland ? It doesn't matter
Free access to all British Markets under WTO MFN ? It doesn't matter
Johnson for PM ? It doesn't matter
Economic recession ? It doesn't matter
Completely Open Border ? It doesn't matter
Trying to negotiate Trade deal with USA without getting totally shafted ? It doesn't matter
Jobs lost ? It doesn't matter

As long as we 'get on with it'

Could we ever have imagined this sort of scenario with John and Norma Major or William Hague with Ffion ? It really is an incredible situation for the PM elect to find himself in, it makes us look like a banana republic.

Why do the rank and file members get to chose the leader as they have no idea of what each does in the house? I that it should continue as in previous rounds
