This isn't some long ago "oh it was in the past" incident (not that that would make it any better).

This was the police being called to what sounds very like a domestic incident last friday. Right in the middle of the campaign of Boris " the favourite" Johnson to become Prime Minister.

What the actual fuck?

He is such an abomination

KneelJustKneel · 21/06/2019 21:31

Hmmm. Sounds like Entitled Man. Just right for Tory leadership.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 21/06/2019 21:33

Yup. An abomination that is probably going to be our next PM.

It's about as bad as it gets.

It was today, not last Friday.

When contacted by the Guardian on Friday, police initially said they had no record of a domestic incident at the address. But when given the case number and reference number, as well as identification markings of the vehicles that were called out, police issued a statement

for fucks sake

Dear God - I hadn't realised that. He's in the final two - which OK was a shoe in - and this is how he behaves?

f''ing Nora. And the Tories this bloke is our best next Prime Minister?

{Symonds, who has been credited with revitalising his appearance and approach to politics. She was part of his team when he publicly launched his campaign for the Tory leadership earlier this month.}

Unless more info comes out, nobody else SAW what was going on and to be able to hear clearly what was said through 'Victorian' house walls that tended to be quite thick, is more than a bit suspicious. Anyone can throw a few plates around, stamp about and shout.

StealthPolarBear · 21/06/2019 21:47

Well in fairness we need to wait and see. But either way he will smell of roses.

1tisILeClerc · 21/06/2019 21:49

Whoever is the next PM will fail massively whatever direction he takes as either leaving or remaining will see the UK severely damaged, although in different ways.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 21/06/2019 21:49

Most adults don't stamp and throw plates.

It is not unreasonable to expect a higher standard of behaviour, from someone likely to be the next UK Prime Minister.

We've never ad a row like that. At the moment though the neighbours may call the police because of DH's guitar playing.

Chickenish · 21/06/2019 21:55

As with all buildings, there are places where you can hear things and places where... less so much. Also, hearing your neighbours is much more likely when they are shouting and screaming. Which is why, in the victorian era, domestic violence was based on if your neighbour could hear screams.

StealthPolarBear · 21/06/2019 21:55

Do you think it was hunt in a wig?

BearFoxBear · 21/06/2019 21:59

And the worst of it is, none of the tories voting will give a flying fuck about this, they'll vote for him all the same.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 21/06/2019 22:00

Do you think it was hunt in a wig?

you have to wonder don't you?

Meanwhile, I've just read the comments under the article in The Times. One suggests at least we'd have a PM who is human. Hmm

These are going to be the muppets that actually have a vote, aren't they?

This is the

'Grab her by the pussy'

incident for the British.

It wouldn't damage him.

Voice0fReason · 21/06/2019 22:06

Oh dear god he is a pitiful excuse for a human being.

Micaela64 · 21/06/2019 22:08

Hmm, the timing is suspicious so I don't know... Hmm

Victorian house here. I have nearly leapt out of bed in fright when sleeping in our spare room when the neighbour switched their bedroom light on (switch on the party wall). I can hear my neighbours on the other side switch sockets on/off, draw their curtains and him coughing in bed (chronic lung condition). I would definitely be able to hear them if they had raised voices, because I can hear them laughing at the telly.

StealthPolarBear · 21/06/2019 22:10

Yes it really doesn't matter. Men like this are invincible. He can do what he likes, probably short of murder.

TurboTeddy · 21/06/2019 22:10

Carrie is in PR, do we really think that she would allow a domestic to be overheard by the neighbours? Sorry but sceptical and cynical if it's possible to be both at the same time.

nauticant · 21/06/2019 22:12

I agree with this, it looks to be inevitable, and so the man in charge might as well be an arch-Brexiteer and copper-bottomed arsehole like Johnson.

Antigonads · 21/06/2019 22:12

Suspicious? What do you mean?

RedToothBrush · 21/06/2019 22:15

Hard leave voters, don't exactly like feminism and yearn for an era where 'women knew their place'. So this actually is good pr in the most important circles, for Johnson.

It is not a disaster by any means.

It needs to be seen through the lens of men who think the 70s were a golden age for male dominance.
