Hope you’re ok @Roussette

Sorry to hear that @Roussette. I hope you’re OK. 💐

Wow time warp!

Awww thanks.
One of my DD's has just got covid which means she can't be at my other DD's marriage on Saturday 😭. They are very close and we were all so excited
We are so upset for her and she's sobbing. Even DDs in their thirties cry like babies, I feel so sorry for the both of them

Oh I'm so sorry. That's horrible.

Oh that's totally crap Roussette. Very sorry.

Oh rousette I'm sorry. That's harsh.

What a shame, Roussette. Can you livestream it? Might make everyone feel a little better at least? We had to do that with an important event and it did help a bit.

I hope this trending thread cheers you up a tiny bit at least:

What awful timing, definitely gutting after the last couple of years.
I hope she feels ok with it.

Thanks all, very kind☀️

We are going to try and livestream somehow but it's all a bit full on, being an Asian ceremony. Covid DD is hoping to get her partner to drive her there, park outside and everyone come out at a distance and wave 😂😂 I think that would make her feel 100 times worse!!

She only had covid a couple of months ago but this is a fat red line and there's some v elderly and immuno compromised there so she's doing the right thing.

Will look at that thread hehe!
I appreciate the kindness thank you

Aw Rousette, your poor dd. Maybe she could do a drive-by and at least see her sister and husband outside in all their finery? Drive-thru wedding guest!

Covid seems to have impeccable timing for wrecking important one-time only plans. Git.

I just realised I inadvertently stole the idea you’ve literally just posted!

I’m ripe for becoming an MP😳

🤣😂

On today's BJ BJ news... if Matt Hancock resigned for a grope and a kiss... should not the PM be resigning for a BJ with his lover whilst still married?
I can't believe we are typing some of the things we are posting to be honest! Can you imagine Gordon Brown or even David Cameron sinking to this sort of low.

Oh Rousette, that is such bad luck. You poor DDs.

Listening to James O’Brien today made me think about my stance of ‘un-unbothered-mess’ about the actual blow job given it’s completely in character for BJ. He brought up Monica Lewinsky, Matt Hancock and the scrutinisation AR got for being too distracting by being a woman and he’s got a point.

These aren’t standards from a by-gone age, this is something that’s only not completely and utterly shocking because it’s Boris. Anyone else, past or future, would be hauled over the coals and out on their ear.

JOB also had a really moving caller who pointed out that this incident took place before BJ’s wife’s cancer diagnosis and carried on throughout her treatment and recovery. The caller described how her cancer treatment made her feel vulnerable and unsurprisingly not in the least bit sexy. BJ’s affair, that by then everyone knew about, was cruel. He didn’t stop or even end it with his wife, he carried on humiliating her at her most vulnerable.

He's just a nasty unpleasant uncaring man.

He's just been asked by Chris Mason BBC if he's looking forward to going home after 8 days away and with speculation about his future and he said 'I can't wait'.

Let's just see how that pans out shall we... I bet he can't wait for the summer recess

I hadn't realised the timing. Horrific behaviour.

But it's normalised somehow. Just like Trump's antics. Nobody is surprised.

What was the covid rule situation at the time re BJ BJ? Don't want to let the old cunt off in any way, but I thought Hancock mostly resigned because of the covid distancing rules?

"But it's normalised somehow"

Exactly. I think it's quite deliberate.

@tobee I am sure it was said that when he was Foreign Secretary. So before Covid.

If only he had paid as much attention to his work, instead of condemning someone to five more years in Iranian custody by his lack of effort.

Oh yes of course it was!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes totally. I meant to add Hancock's grope was covid restricted.
BJs BJ was just revolting whilst still married, no wonder he's estranged from a lot of his kids

If only his colleagues had spoken publicly at the time and potentially saved us this atrocious premiership.

Was Cummings on team Boris when he was foreign secretary? This feels like it’s got his claw marks all over it.

Cummings was working for Vote Leave around the time Johnson was foreign sec - I'm sure their paths crossed.

Just read in The Times about CCHQ war gaming a snap GE should Starmer be fined and resign when they are "tearing themselves to pieces" having their leadership election.
