Looks like I was right to boo him at the paralympics. Even more right, I mean. Righter than right.

Bigly right even.

It is so badly written. Nobody writes like that.

You know that moment when they ask "is there anyone here who knows of any reason these two should not be married?"...

It's awkward at the best of times.

But bloody hell that's going to be a painfully long pause with no one wanting to look at any one else too hard in case they fall under suspicion.

Actually both of them are perfect for each other!

The reference to skating at Somerset House made me smile as I bumped into him there ice skating with his daughter.

He was actually surprisingly nice (to my kids who asked for a photo) but was truly dreadful at skating.

He must be totally mortified by that email. Proper hatchet job.

baggiesmalls · 07/07/2023 15:08

He looks like a total sleaze

He's an mp
He's a sleaze shocker

But sounds like someone needed to get it off their chest .

Good for them.

CremeEggThief · 07/07/2023 15:14

Wow. Hadn't even heard he'd sit up with Frances!

Your kids asked George Osborne for a photo!?!

No wonder he was nice to them, he was probably gobsmacked not to get abuse.

grass321 · 07/07/2023 15:22

They did. It's quite a nice photo too.

I confess I have always found him quite attractive but I don't share that guilty secret with anyone I know. A bit Paul Robinson from Neighbours.

Coolhwip · 07/07/2023 15:30

Paul Robinson was fit in the 90.

George looks like the Fat Controller.

grass321 · 07/07/2023 15:39

Paul Robinson was fit in the 90.

Hmm that crush has grown with me.

Will he cancel the wedding? Or just brazen it out?

He still does look good!

Given Thea's expected multimillion windfall, I suspect he will want to get the marriage done asap.

Fruttidelbosco · 07/07/2023 16:08

Will this basically be the best man’s speech?

And the guests can shout ‘Oy, oy!’ heckles at key moments.

The priest can cross himself and raise a chalice in the appropriate bits.

And anyone mentioned can take a bow or do some thrusting actions if that is more suitable.

Wives will tutt, husbands roll their eyes good-naturedly, and everyone can raise a toast to being posh (… and therefore, basically animals).

There. No awkwardness. I’ve solved it for them. Do this 👆

What the fuck is wrong with these people? Every advantage in the world, opportunity handed to them on a plate and still they shaft their nearest and dearest and fuck everyone in their lives over. Just enjoy the incredible hand you have been dealt and be happy instead of shitting on everyone around you, you selfish fuckwits 😡

NeverDropYourMooncup · 07/07/2023 16:58

Reminds me of Sarah Vine's writing style.

AIBUIthinkNot · 07/07/2023 16:59

Mumsnet & popbitch - feels like 2004!

Imagine you'd accepted the invite, can you still claim Covid for a swift decline? People will be flinging themselves into the shrubbery to avoid being photographed.

That was vile case. Scuze the DM link:

I can confirm that Boris is as gut-wrenchingly hideously repellent in real life.

Carrie, is that you?

LadyEloise1 · 07/07/2023 17:43

As @Coolhwip writes "...Given Thea's expected multimillion windfall, I suspect he will want to get the marriage done asap."

It may not be his call if she has any sense.

It's all the poor children caught in the crossfire.--

grass321 · 07/07/2023 17:52

That's made me laugh (I may or may not have bought it on vinyl circa 1989...)

I'm torn between thinking he's getting what he deserves (presuming it's true) and the timing which even my stone cold heart feels a bit of sympathy for.

Thepeopleversuswork · 07/07/2023 17:59

It does read as if it was drafted by a teenager. Something about the writing style: it’s almost correct but with a lot of toxic energy and emotion quite near the surface. It clearly is someone with fairly intimate knowledge of the family and the dynamics.

I think it’s one of his kids or one of their friends.

It's a woman who is familiar with Johnson at close quarters. So that narrows it down, but only very slightly.
