Boris and Carrie have had their baby

[boomchikawowwow]

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

All that expensive education, and for what, such awful morals. I'd be ashamed if I was his parents and pissed off at all that wasted money.

I’m sure they’re just crushed that he was a scholar at Oxford and became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom!

Do people on here gossip over the garden fence about Mary down the road who's just had a baby with her partner? Do you say that the baby is 'illegitimate'? Really?

They’d have to be pretty loathesome people to do something like that, wouldn’t they?

Any human being whose parents are unmarried when they’re born is illegitimate. No amount of political correctness can change facts.

And no amount of handwaving can change the fact that’s it’s a stupid insult dreamed up by people who can’t cope with the fact that Boris is running the country and doesn’t have to give a shit about what they think!

Lots of fans on Gransnet. I think they must be unwell in some way.

Probably knitting bootees and putting up flags.

FFS. How low are people atually going to go on here?

Maybe if you were to win one you too could dictate how the country is run, rather than moaning futilely about it?

Haha... no plan to go into politics! I'll leave it to Boris, let's hope he pulls his finger out, he's got a lot to sort out.

I am entitled to moan about it, that's the nature of politics. We - the electorate - have a say and don't have to be a PM for run for parliament to have that say.

He’s still the same twat who cheered when the nurses’ pay rise was rejected.

If Tory MPs did cheer it's because they defeated a Jeremy Corbyn amendment to the Queen's Speech;

"[Heidi] Allen, who voted against the amendment, said that she couldn’t vote in favour because of “additional incorrect statements” it contained, particularly regarding the Grenfell Tower fire."

"Pls read the amendment- pretty obvs as says gov didn't recognise emergency services at Grenfell Tower tragedy! Totally untrue!"

"Allen described [Labour's] amendment as “too partisan”, and told the Huffington Post: “Public services includes the very highest paid chief executives, managers, Whitehall chiefs too."

“I cannot support a blanket pay rise to all of those."

"Tory MP Johnny Mercer described the vote as a political “game”.

“I think this is an attempt to vote down the Queen’s Speech to bring more instability when you need stability in the national interest,”

All that expensive education

Boris Johnson was awarded one of the top academic scholarships to Eton - not sure what the fee reduction would have been in the 1970s/80s.

And no amount of handwaving can change the fact that’s it’s a stupid insult dreamed up by people who can’t cope with the fact that Boris is running the country and doesn’t have to give a shit about what they think!

It’s a “stupid insult” our esteemed PM was more than happy to apply to other people’s children in a Spectator article, it appears to be him who “dreamed it up”. So inconvenient when these things are so readily available with a quick Google, isn’t it?

And he was wrong to do so. How come people who do it on here today are apparently given a pass?

And he was wrong to do so. How come people who do it on here today are apparently given a pass? Exactly. I think some people have wizened souls.

And so now you’re copying Boris, despite claiming that everything he does is evil and reprehensible? I know you don’t like political correctness, so I’m sure you won’t mind me saying that that makes no fucking sense!

No, some people think if it’s fine for Johnson to use a term about other people’s children, it’s fine to apply it to his. He clearly doesn’t consider it wrong, which it isn’t, just factually accurate.

Two wrongs making a wrong there I would say.

He might consider it wrong now - the article was written in 1995.

You’re so obtuse it’s utterly laughable. True to type obv

That trite little saying only applies if you consider it wrong. Live by the sword and die by the sword is rather more appropriate in this instance.

You’re so desperate to bash Boris that you’ll even copy his insults. Now that’s just sad

Does anyone else remember the huge wave of Conservative criticism of ‘un-married mothers’ in the mid ‘90s? My favourite at the time was Tim Yeo, who made a speech about ‘estates where fathers were unknown’ but then turned out to have fathered a child with a Conservative councillor while he was married. But I think that article means that Boris might now nudge him off the top spot...

Tony Blair 1997 -

"For part of a generation of young women early pregnancies and the absence of a reliable father almost guarantee a life of poverty."

"Behind the statistics lie households where three generations have never had a job"... "There are estates where the biggest employer is the drugs industry."

"Blair backs [Harriet] Harman over cut in lone-parent benefit."
"A group of women protesters shouted "Labour scum" when it was approved."

Tony Blair’s children were all born in wedlock, weren’t they @Clavinova?

To quote Alsohuman, what I said was entirely factually accurate!

Do you consider assumptions about posters as factually accurate? How awkward for you.

Have a little look at the OED and distinguish between “fact” and “opinion” and maybe even “guess”. It will make having a sensible conversation so much easier.

Tony Blair put millions of pounds into Sure Start local programmes, Children’s Centres and services for the parents of young children.
