Boris and Carrie have had their baby

[boomchikawowwow]

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

I see the #bekind movement has moved on!

Lovely news amid the doom and gloom. I wish them all well.

you have the debating skills of a 6 year old.

Haven't you spent the thread calling anyone who isn't tugging their forelock and licking Boris's boots "vile" and "filled with hate"? 🤔

I used to think this site was made up of mostly intelligent and decent people. I'm seriously doubting that now.

Whatever your politics and morality views, this is a woman who has just had her first baby with the man she loves and who has gone through her final weeks of pregnancy in utter panic. Living without her fiancé, terrified he would die and being unwell herself. You could be happy for them both while still being against his policies.

Look at how many posts say the OW didn't make vows to you, she's done nothing wrong yet there are vile posts about how she "had to shag" him while married, etc.

Your posts say more about how you are than anything else.

You don't look hard, cool or clever when you spout your vitriol, you just look pathetic.

He is delaying his paternity leave. If he hadn't you would have complained. You are taking the piss out of whether he would be involved in the nappy changing etc. You'd complain if he did take two weeks now. Lots of people pay for help. It means nothing.

I doubt they will see it but for the record, congratulations to you both and I hope you all stay well.

ive so enjoyed reading the moral outrage on this thread.

boris, if you are reading this, get back to work, you lazy git, cobra meetings about pandemics dont run themselves.

SunshineCake I think you are making this very black and white. Ther is a middle area too... me!

I am glad Carrie has got through this and the baby is safe. However all this.... 'wonderful news in the middle of all of this' and 'we should all be delighted' is beyond me. I dislike Boris, I don't hate him, I'm glad he got through his Covid.

But let's be realistic... we are in the middle of a crisis bigger than has been known for a generation, we need a leader at the helm, I don't think he's up to the job personally hey ho. And yes he'll be off on paternity leave later no doubt.

As I said before, I wish them personally no ill, hope they enjoy their baby, but please Boris get back to work. Let's just move on from this baby please. I just don't want to hear any more about it on the News, we've far more important things to deal with. Now that we're through the announcement of baby safe arrival, it's a complete irrelevance.

He has a ten year old he’s never met and possibly a few other ‘love children’ too. His older children are almost the same age as his partner, very cringe worthy...

Did laugh at the news reports yesterday stating that whilst it was Carrie’s first child, Boris had ‘at least’ five children. Maybe he doesn’t even know the true number.

What an awful time to bring a baby into the world. Well she will make history as the first unmarried mother in 10 Downing Street won't she?”

I know life is surreal just now, but have I woken up in a parallel universe, circa 1950?

“Unmarried mother” 😱

Well that’s it, we’re all doomed

🙄

derxa, he did to right back to work after the baby and I don't think he's lazy. If you want to stay in demanding jobs for the long term you need to pace yourself (never mind that he is still recovering from the virus).

Matter of opinion on his laziness. I think he is. But let him prove himself now. There's no excuse (not saying COVID was an excuse by the way, before someone jumps on me) .

Let's see if he attends PMQ next week, that will be interesting.

@Xenia Every job he has ever had accusations of laziness follow him. Allegedly as Prime Minister he never works weekends.

This.

No. Just those who seek to label a newborn baby as 'illegitimate' and slag off his mother for not being married. I have said several times that I am a left wing voter and no fan of Boris but that gets ignored as it does not fit the agenda of those who just want to heap hate on him and his family.

Its always the same amongst a cohort who defend Boris Johnson no matter what. They start trying to argue against the fact Boris is a lazy liar with poor morals, then when that proves impossible they start insulting posters pointing this out.

The insults have come thick and fast from those who hate him so much that their hate even extends to his newborn child. It is horrible.

@ducksback I have not seen any insults towards the baby. Could you tell me where there have been any?

The last thing Johnson should do is push himself at this stage. Although people who hate him probably wish he would as they're hoping he'll fail.
He needs to recover fully from the virus and stay well. If this means having weekends off and delegating to others then so be it.
This crisis is going to last for a long time and we need a healthy PM.

No one hates any baby.
But i wonder if those defending or congratulating Johnson would be happy to have a man with his track record dating (and getting pregnant) their own daughter at 1/2 his age?
My former BiL fathered a succession of children from 5 or 6 different women, no one congratulated him (after the first 2 or 3), we pitied them all, esp the women and the children who we knew would have little to do with their father, once he got bored and moved on.

I just think that wishing them both well is inappropriate given the situation we are now in and with the numbers dying, esp healthcare workers.
No threads put up about the fact their children wont see mum or dad again.

@slartibarti He is rumoured to never work weekends as PM. So if true he will be having weekends off anyway.

@jasjas1973 We all know that if a woman had met a man with Boris track record and posted on MN, everyone would be telling her to stay well clear and expressing sympathy for the kids.
Never having seen your own 10 year old daughter is beyond the pale.

Allegedly as Prime Minister he never works weekends.

He clearly works some weekends. His weekend diary for January looks pretty full - meetings in Berlin (Libya Conference), Oman, telephone meetings with Trump, Macron and Merkel. His flood visit in March was on a Sunday, plus some more weekend telephone calls: Presidents of Japan, Australia, Prince of Saudi Arabia and Trump again.

@clavinova Maybe if other Prime Ministers and Presidents want to talk to you then you can't refuse by saying you don't work weekends? And you also can't refuse to attend a conference on the basis it is on a weekend.
So maybe he only does the work at weekends that he really can't refuse to do?
There were lots of rumours circulating when he was Mayor that he was very lazy and did not work many hours.
But I don't understand anyway why anyone would defend and promote someone who has been proven to lie multiple times.

So he bloody well should ! Other country's Leaders do, why should he be any diffferent. And I think weekend telephone calls are part of the job surely.

derxa, he did to right back to work after the baby and I don't think he's lazy. If you want to stay in demanding jobs for the long term you need to pace yourself (never mind that he is still recovering from the virus).
Xenia I reposted a post from a pp. I just thought it funny. Anyway we need Boris to be well.
