This isn't some long ago "oh it was in the past" incident (not that that would make it any better).

This was the police being called to what sounds very like a domestic incident last friday. Right in the middle of the campaign of Boris " the favourite" Johnson to become Prime Minister.

What the actual fuck?

And the worst of it is, none of the tories voting will give a flying fuck about this, they'll vote for him all the same.

Do you think it was hunt in a wig?

As with all buildings, there are places where you can hear things and places where... less so much. Also, hearing your neighbours is much more likely when they are shouting and screaming. Which is why, in the victorian era, domestic violence was based on if your neighbour could hear screams.

We've never ad a row like that. At the moment though the neighbours may call the police because of DH's guitar playing.

Anyone can throw a few plates around, stamp about and shout.

Most adults don't stamp and throw plates.

It is not unreasonable to expect a higher standard of behaviour, from someone likely to be the next UK Prime Minister.

Whoever is the next PM will fail massively whatever direction he takes as either leaving or remaining will see the UK severely damaged, although in different ways.

Well in fairness we need to wait and see. But either way he will smell of roses.

{Symonds, who has been credited with revitalising his appearance and approach to politics. She was part of his team when he publicly launched his campaign for the Tory leadership earlier this month.}

Unless more info comes out, nobody else SAW what was going on and to be able to hear clearly what was said through 'Victorian' house walls that tended to be quite thick, is more than a bit suspicious. Anyone can throw a few plates around, stamp about and shout.

It was today, not last Friday.

Dear God - I hadn't realised that. He's in the final two - which OK was a shoe in - and this is how he behaves?

f''ing Nora. And the Tories this bloke is our best next Prime Minister?

When contacted by the Guardian on Friday, police initially said they had no record of a domestic incident at the address. But when given the case number and reference number, as well as identification markings of the vehicles that were called out, police issued a statement

for fucks sake

Yup. An abomination that is probably going to be our next PM.

It's about as bad as it gets.

Hmmm. Sounds like Entitled Man. Just right for Tory leadership.

He is such an abomination
