Why would it matter? Boris is morally bankrupt, sexually incontinent, dishonest to a fault, and no backbone at all generally. We have him in tape agreeing to help get a journalist seriously beaten up and it has not slowed down his career at all. He told his future constituents he would lie down in front of the diggers to prevent the Heathrow expansion, got elected on that basis then disappeared when it came time to vote on it. In his book on Winston Churchill he wrote that Churchill had made a good career move when he hung his hat on fighting the Nazis, like it was a good career move Churchill was after, rather than, say, DOING THE RIGHT THING. He cannot conceive of what principles even are, or why anyone would do the right thing if it did not benefit themselves. He is terrifying and I cannot believe he is set to be PM just because he has a jovial and charismatic exterior. His core is rotten through and through. The Brexiteers love him but he isn’t even a proper Brexiteer. He wrote two columns, one making a case for leaving the EU and one for staying and then decided at the last minute which one to publish, based on which stance would benefit himself the most.
So no, I doubt a little domestic dispute will give anyone pause for thought. I actually think he could be on video giving his girlfriend a black eye and it still wouldn’t matter. Just like Donald Trump said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and his supporters would still cheer him. They have much in common.
Yes, I feel strongly about this total wanker of a man storming into Number 10. Rant over. As you were and all that.
