Boris and Carrie have had their baby

[boomchikawowwow]

I didn't realise she was due already. Baby boy born this morning!

It doesn't annoy me at all, duck. Why do you presume you can read people's minds? The only one getting annoyed and upset is you. I feel no shame for using a literal term, despite your feelings about it, which mean nothing to me. That's how the world is, we're all mostly small drops in a big ocean.

Can I ask you why you found it so necessary to point out this fact?

@ducksback me saying she is the first unmarried mother in No 10 and calling her a mistress does say more about me than it does her. It says I have morals!

And whilst we are at it, do you refer to all babies as illegitimate if they are born to unmarried parents? Or just those of people you don't like very much?

I think the term illegitimate doesn't really work any more though, does it?

We know that the baby is Boris's & that he's legally responsible for it & presumably he isn't excluded from inheriting?

So he has rights under the law.

Well this thread has put all unmarried women and their illegitimate offspring firmly in their place

We really are our own worst enemies aren`t we.

FFS.
What's that expression my granny always used ? Ah yes...you can't argue with pork.

It's been an eye opening thread that's for sure. And not in a good way.

Gosh, you shouldn't have to, duck, seeing as you can read minds. The Almighty should know without asking! Big Brother is watching us. This is almost as good as the fruit picking thread. So much frothing and ire over randoms who don't really give a fuck what any of us think or if someone points out the baby is illegitimate or that Boris is a serial cheater and Carrie is OW.

So you can't answer me peppermint. Thought as much.

I do think he’s be best off stepping down and letting someone with a bit more focus take up the reins right now

I agree. This PM thingy is not what he envisaged I bet. It was going to be 'let's get this done' (Brexit), audiences with the Queen, do or die endless soundbites, a bit of banter at PMQ and most importantly, the kudos of being PM.

Instead he has had an illness, Brexit is going tits up, a pandemic, a new baby, and none of the glory he was hoping for. He's always said being PM would be 'a great thing to have a crack at'. Well... he's had a crack at it... he now needs to move over and let someone else take it on who isn't full of bluster and soundbites.

Stay away from the Relationship board, it's full of OW called all sorts of things and the cheating spouses labelled all kinds of things, too. You'd explode in moral anger.

Every human being is a legitimate human being and that is why the term illegitimate, when referring to an innocent baby, is downright insulting and archaic these days.

I don't have to justify why I stated a fact to you, duck. You're not a judge, jury and executioner. You're an internet sprite same as I am. You've already drawn your own conclusions about people who use truthful language you don't agree with, I could say I stated the fact because Google told me to do it or because I'm being prodded with a hot poker to do so and you'd still trounce all over because you're determined to pull moral rank and assert some sort of weird superiority and froth away. It's mildly amusing at most, a bit scary, though. Honestly, check your blood pressure.

Welcome change from the Coronavirus Dementor threads, though .

I quite agree Megan.

And peppermint anyone reading this can see that it is actually you that is frothing and ranting, not me.
Maybe re-read what MeganBacon has posted. It might help you to understand.

i dont feel put in my place bythis thread - i think Boris Johnson father of between 5-7children branding the children of single mothers as ill-raised, ignorant, aggressive and illegitimate' is worse. but hey, he's-anew daddy awww!

Haha - in your dreams! He has an 80-seat majority and doesn’t have to go anywhere. Maybe if you were to win one you too could dictate how the country is run, rather than moaning futilely about it?

I'm not frothing, duck, I'm watching James Martin at the same time and thinking about what I want to eat next and if he's going to fall out of the raft. Surely a mind reader would know this? Are you there, God, it's me, Margaret? You're bordering on parody. 😂😂😂

I've already read what Bacon wrote (mmm, bacon). I don't agree. There's nothing to understand. James didn't even paddle! And he didn't cook that steak, what a waste!

What @Helmetbymidnight said.

He's on record with his very low opinion of unmarried mothers.

First baby was conceived when I was still effectively married although separated.

Was also born out of wedlock although was engaged.

Lucky 2nd born child will be born to married parents. I’m sure she will be rubbing it in the face of poor first born forever more as it obviously matters so much

How very sad that similar opinions to his are littering this thread.

@lynsey91 She’s not a mistress anymore though, is she? She might have been at one point (I still think it’s a horrible term though!) but he is now divorced and she is now his partner and they are engaged. Will you still be referring to her as his ‘mistress’ if/when they get married?

me saying she is the first unmarried mother in No 10 and calling her a mistress does say more about me than it does her. It says I have morals!

Being an unmarried mother has nothing at all to do with morals. If you want to dislike her for potentially having an affair with a married man then fine, do so, it’s a shitty thing to do. But she’s not his mistress anymore and it is not morally wrong or bad to have a child with someone when you’re not married to them.
