Boris and Carrie- what do we think?

[JinglingHellsBells]

I'm not sure about the ethics of the Other Woman welcoming BJ to No 10- she's at the door now - when he is in fact still married.

I feel adults should be free to do what they want, but this relationship seems way outside the boundaries of what is morally acceptable for a PM who is not divorced yet.

So OP you’re annoyed with the OW?

I strongly disagree with your priorities. Sexist of you to be fine with Boris but not his OW living at Downing Street.

Part of me wouldn't be surprised if she was already pregnant.

Who cares? Judge him on his political views, his track record of failure, and the many offensive comments he is reported to have made. The fact that he has had affairs doesn't in itself mean he's unfit to be PM. Divorces can take years if there are assets to fight over. Boris is no longer living with his STBXW, so I don't think it's inappropriate for his partner - not his "mistress" - to live with him now.

And no, I'm not Carrie

@youwhonevermarried Who cares? He is our PM. In roles like that his private life matters.

I do feel for Marina Wheeler. After all the years of marriage, raising children and the oh-so-public compromises, that should have been her moment: to stand on the steps of No 10. She is his wife, after all.

His ex wife was at one point the Other Woman OP. He cheated on his first wife with her, so I don’t have that much sympathy.

She doesn't need my sympathy of course. I wish her a happy family life with her children and a wonderful new relationship with a man whose eyes stay firmly fixed on her.

Erm she knew exactly who he was when she had an affair with him. It’s the first wife I’d feel sorry for.

Part of me wouldn't be surprised if she was already pregnant

It did cross my mind today.

But more likely she just has terrible posture!

She has that Princess Beatrice underbite.

@Loopytiles

My opinion is not sexist. I think CW ought to use her own moral compass in the absence of his.

I think Boris is amoral on many accounts, his personal life being one of them.

I think the brakes ought to be put on my CS in terms of how high profile she is. Evidently she is intelligent and she ought to be sensitive to how this looks, given BJ is not divorced, his wife was hurt and so are his children.

The whole thing is tacky.

If she was savvy, she'd have waited till he was divorced .

She's either arrogant or stupid. or both.

I see her as a victim or at best, someone with delusions. I hope she recovers soon.

Why are you all vilifying Carrie when Marina did exactly the same thing to his first wife?

I have said the same about Marina previously - you lose them as you find them!

Reading this thread is like stepping back to the 1950s, with all the condemnation of Carrie, but not Boris, for committing adultery; and the emphasis on Marina being the "wife", as if being someone's wife is an achievement rather than a legal contract.

How has Johnson been responsible for so many pregnancies? Does he not "put something on the end of it"?

The whole issue of whether or not she moved into number 10 would have been thrashed out in detail by political strategists. She probably had very little say in it. The overall aim of moving her in is most likely to solidify their relationship and quash the recent sofagate scandal.

Convenient that she looks a bit pregnant too. How lovely, a number 10 baby.

She is apparently very clever, very good at her job, and no doubt knows exactly what she’s doing. What else could be the appeal in climbing atop Boris Johnson, if not that his star was ascending?

Boris on the other hand is a total scumbag, and coerced his own daughter to leak his divorce/affair to the press.

I don't see how the Democratic Unionist Party can do business with a man such as Mr Johnson given his lack of morals and their views on matters such as abortion. They should have made it clear before the Tory leadership election started that they would not do business with a person without a moral compass.

Carrie is the child of an adulterous relationship - so she may look at things differently.

I'm very confused. Marina was the OW when he was married to his first wife???

The age old adage "remember how you met your man" seems very apt.

Boris is a vile, nasty piece of work and I'd question any women who entertains him. So yes I judge the women who have shagged or married the cunt.

Terrible people are enabled by women like Marina and Carrie.

Boris has never trotted out his kids for photo calls, not sure why he would start now.

It'd probably take him too long to track them all down, in any case.

What do all these women see in him?

Power and wealth. Maybe he is well endowed. Who knows

How does a man like Boris ever become attractive to a woman? He's got a track record of being a shit. What is wrong with these women?
