As my facebook friends will already know Grin

I was at the MN 15th birthday bash. He was giving a speech. He was ramping up to the end of it, listing all the great things that Mums do - you know, looking after kids, doing all the wife work stuff...

And he said why do they do it

I shouted "the patriarchy"

He said love.

There was much hilarity, and instead of getting thrown out, Justine got me in the photo's taken of Boris with her, and I got many fist bumps from people around the room when they found out it was me that had heckled.

Grin

And I drank too much fizzy stuff.

And earlier in the evening I got to meet the very lovely Puffins.

I hope Boris is on MN.

Boris IT'S THE PATRIARCHY.

Love indeed.

Well done Heckler!

I followed you on Twitter Heckler.

Boris loves lots of women doesn't he? Floppy, blonde tit.

I agree with FairPhyllis !

I love the heckle, but this thread has got me really worried. Boris could so be a MNer. Now every time the trolls pop out I will be imagining that hair.

It does amuse me immensely how people think MN is from the outside. 'Aww, a bunch of mummies, they will love my sentimental codswallop ...'. No, Boris, no.

That was brilliant Heckler. Why can I never think of these retorts But really "love" was his reply to why women do all the unpaid work? Do men really think that? Is that what helps them justify their laziness it in their mind? It goes back to that thread about cognitive dissonance in men. Hmm

elportodelgato - They were next door neighbours some years ago. This was actually stated in one of the speeches (can't remember which - I was a leetle drunk)

kim - do you mean the question why women do all the shit work? His answer was "love"

I have heard on the grapevine that BoJo and our own Justine Mumsnet are next door neighbours IRL so know each other quite well, hence probably why he attended. But I agree, seems like an odd choice of speaker, glad to hear he got PROPERLY heckled

AskBasil · 12/03/2015 22:41

It's very pleasing to think of a mumsnetter ruining BoJo's crescendo.

YvesJutteau · 12/03/2015 21:41

"Wtf was he doing at a mn do?"

Maybe he's a MNer himself...

LineRunner · 12/03/2015 21:31

Obviously MNHQ couldn't get Jeremy Clarkson in.

Heckler sterling work.

MaxineQuordlepleen · 12/03/2015 21:21

Well done. Hugh Grant read a poem at the the WOW Mirth Control concert on Sunday night and I so wanted to shout"what do you think about prostituted women, Hugh?" But I was too chicken as I didn't want to get thrown out.
I think he'd lost a bet... He didn't come across as overly passionate about women's rights.

elQuintoConyo · 12/03/2015 21:16

You spoiled his crescendo? Was he going to do it all over your face? What a tit.

The was one awesome heckle Heckler

WineCowboy · 12/03/2015 21:10

Whoop! Nice one!

Spadequeen · 12/03/2015 21:09

Wtf was he doing at a mn do? Very disappointed mnhq

wreckingball · 12/03/2015 21:08

Well done you, but how disappointing that HQ chose to ask Boris Johnston to be guest speaker.

MrsSquirrel · 12/03/2015 21:07

I'll vote for you Heckler

JazzAnnNonMouse · 12/03/2015 21:04

Brilliant!

antimatter · 12/03/2015 21:02

I am proud of your acquaintance!
He is a sly politician with gold tongue....

He told me that I spoiled his crescendo

Hahaha!!!!!

Heckler for the Mayor of London! Grin

Tricycletops · 12/03/2015 21:01

GoatsDoRoam · 12/03/2015 20:24

A most excellent heckle.

HermioneWeasley · 12/03/2015 20:20

High five (too old for first bumps)
