Are we ok with our soon to be PM being involved in a domestic 'argument'?

[Totur]

Enough to prompt a neighbour to call police?

If party members aren't publicly okay with it, they get expelled from the party, it seems.

The Chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum says he has been expelled from the group for "casting doubt on Boris Johnson's moral fitness" during an interview, ITV News can reveal.

Mohammed Amin, who has been chairman of the party’s Muslim Forum since 2014, has been removed from the role following a disciplinary hearing last night.

This is Boris on his best behaviour! Worse has happened before and yet to come.

So mumsnet members never have shouting matches in their own homes. What an angelic lot you are

These are strange times. Like trump, he could pretty much do anything and get away with it because the people that support him actually don't care. They've been given a licence to be mysogonistic pricks.

However it does seem like a drunken argument where she gave as good as she got from what I've read?

I see we're conveniently missing out the crashing noises, smashing stuff and repeated shouting at him to get out....

Never had the police called.... And I’m not standing for the highest office in the land

To clarify, the guy above was disciplined for objecting to Boris as prospective PM before this incident, but I'm not expecting Conservative HQ to change their policy now.

Why was the neighbor recording the argument

FWIW I can't stand the man, but I did wonder the same ... also whether anyone other than the Grauniad have heard it

Hitler

Why don't people like Jeremy Hunt?

I recorded my neighbour's arguing as you had to hear it to believe it.

When you live your life the way Johnson does, things like this will happen, and eventually some of them will become public in this way. He probably imagines in his slapdash way that the scrutiny can't get any more intense and he's home and dry anyway, and that once he's actually PM none of it will matter. But who knows? I remain optimistic that he can fuck it up for himself before he entirely fucks it up for the country.

I really think this thread might need an outbreak of sanity. All we know is that 2 drunk people had a heated argument which the police attended and were satisfied that no crime was committed.

Precisely. So no one posting on this thread has ever had an argument and...gasp.. .raised their voices in a heated moment with their DH? Let’s get a sense of perspective here.

"I really think this thread might need an outbreak of sanity. All we know is that 2 drunk people had a heated argument which the police attended and were satisfied that no crime was committed. It's only page 3 and we already have a fat cunt, cunt, Trump, fascist, venereal disease and we're staging an intervention for the GF he evidently robbed from the cradle. I really hope someone mentions Hitler soon so I can call Godwin's. (There may already have been a sneaky fascist somewhere...) It's bloody Boris Bingo.

I am a Remainer so my preferred outcome of this farce is long gone, but this hysterical ire over not-very-much-at-all is precisely the reason why Boris is doing so well in the polls."

I totally agree, @TFBundy

Not raised my voice loud enough for the neighbours to call the Police, no. Or screamed at my DH to get out of the house, and he's never done that either.

To the extent that neighbours have called the Police? that's hardly the norm

Don't pre-empt how Tory party members will vote. They may vote totally differently to Tory MPs. He may not be the next PM.

The difference, of course, is that none of us (unless Johnson is posting?) is in the running to become our second unelected PM in recent years, to be decided on the basis of 100k plus Tory party members, most of whom are white, male and over the age of 50, and pretty misogynistic to boot.

I'm no Boris fan but it does seem almost convenient timing. Of there's been actual DV my sympathy is all with her, of course.

I feel like ... I’ve really learnt a lot about the UK today from the reaction to this and the MP ‘escorting’ the protester from that dinner. I mean that’s quite a double whammy. Remember when Ed Millinand ate a bacon sandwich in a way that was deemed unfit to be PM?

Do neighbours tend to over-react to ordinary arguments between couples and call police unnecessarily? Or do the general British public tend to under-react to possible DV next door?

To the extent that neighbours have called the Police? that's hardly the norm

And the police reported there was nothing at all to be concerned about. So clearly an overreaction.
