    It may have been on a seat, she may have sat on it without looking. We won’t know without a video of the incident.

    She could have been googling a recipe and BoJo realised he hadn't deleted his browser history.

    So she's a screamer in bed, hardly a reason to call the police.

    She could have been googling a recipe and BoJo realised he hadn't deleted his browser history.

    "Can I use your laptop for a minute, just want to Google a recipe"

    "Hang on, I'll just... get it ready for you"

    "It's okay, I know how to use it"

    "No, wait... I have to get it ready"

    Or maybe she was binging porn on his laptop and he objected. Either is equally plausible.

    Boris is that far ahead of Hunt that he would need to be caught on video dragging his partner's dead body into a shallow grave at the bottom of the garden in the middle of the night for Hunt to have any chance of catching him.

    true, but have you worked out yet what this means for NI ?

    Neighbour definitely a remainder. And scum.

    Oh I see. So by your logic Leavers would not call the police if they thought they heard domestic violence next door.

    Especially if their neighbour is Boris Johnson. In which case he can of course count on their support in his bid for PM.

    Nice selective quoting. The neighbour recorded it and gave the recording to the Guardian. That is clearly what I responded to. But no, you have to twist my words. Is that what remainers do?

    Not twisting your words at all. In your very first post you stated that whoever called the police must have been politically motivated. You hadn't mentioned anything about a recording at that point.

    Therefore it stands to reason, by your logic, that a Leaver would not have called the police upon hearing a disturbance in Mr Johnson's home.

    There is no other conclusion to be drawn from your assertions.

    Boris Johnson in a bit of strife
    he nearly beat up his soon to be wife.
    His altercation reflects the state of their nation.
    Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
    In a posh house in a South end town
    call the cops there's a madman around.

    If you don't stop arguing I will have no option but to call the gardai and send a transcript of the row to the Sunday World.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,420 ✭✭✭splinter65


    It was only a heated argument? Proof please.

    The police called. Spoke to both parties. Left them as no crime had been committed. Are you saying the police lied?

    This.

    The DUP has the Tories by the short and curlies. An election now and Boris loses the PM seat permanently.

    When it comes to it, negotiations between the Tories and DUP will involve Boris on his hands and knees while Arlene prepares the strap-on.

    The good of the nation means nothing to this man. If a hard Brexit is the only way to keep the DUP onside, then a hard Brexit it will be.

    Still don’t know why May didn’t just threaten direct rule and to use it to bring in marriage equality and abortion.

    Don’t want to be any different to the rest of the UK? Then you won’t be as long as you do what you’re told.

    It’s baffling.

    It isn't. May was a weak leader and her successor is likely to be worse. Anyone could see that threatening the DUP with SF-friendly Jeremy Corbyn in No 10 would have them in line sharply enough.

    My theory is that things were getting a little too passionate in the Johnson dept. and this is why he doesn't want to talk about it.

    I can understand why, I don't want to talk about it either. Ever. Thx

    Can we not say Johnson dept? It doesn't exactly invoke pleasant images.

    A female voice specifically asked the male to leave, to get the hell out.. loud enough that the neighbour was concerned, smashing plates etc..

    So that means HE was abusive to HER??? FFS.

    I suppose your ideal is like Mrs Bucket and Richard of "Keeping up Appearances" ?

    One row where she shouted and roared at him and most likely threw plates at him - men rarely throw plates, that's typically a female thing to do - and he's the abuser. That's the world we live in now.

    Presumably they have lived next door for months or years and this is the only incidence of an argument they have had - sounds like a very normal healthy relationship to me.

    I don't care much for BJs politics but this is total BS.

    I've never roared at my wife and neither of us have ever thrown plates. Same for my parents. I'd consider that normal and healthy.

    Happily married 23 years in September. Plenty of roaring shouting screaming cups and plates thrown, small tables upended, doors slammed cars revved..no neighbor ever called the Garda, all forgotten about tomorrow. Normal adult relationship .

    So what? No, honestly, a couple of adults have a few too many at the end of a stressful week, a fight breaks out, some stuff gets broken, the police come, both reassure the police that all is well.

    Poor Boris appears to have had a ferocious row with his latest squeeze which resulted in neighbours calling the police.

    His fellow Tories are not impressed. Will this impact his leadership bid?

    I am not even sure of the details of what happened.

    Media Storm versus Stuff that people actually care about.

    Nobody cares about this non story other than the media and political opponents. People who will go out and vote couldn't give the remotest horse manure about this.

    The media are still bewildered as to why they are being labelled the Enemy of the People.

    Would you not be concerned?

    Would you not be worried he was attacking her? She shouted get off me and get out of my flat.

    There were things banging and a neighbor was either so fed up of the noise or worried they called the police.

    WOW


    Now other neighbors are cooperating the first man's story. Two other separate neighbors have backed up his account.


    They say it was like someone was being murdered.

    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jun/23/boris-johnson-more-neighbours-confirm-tear-up-with-partner-carrie-symonds?CMP=twt_gu&utm_medium=&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1561291141
    Two others back up Tom Penn’s account, one of whom ‘thought someone was being murdered’
    Tom Penn went public on Saturday as the neighbour who had recorded the argument in the early hours of Friday morning. He said he had dialled 999 because he had been “frightened and concerned for the welfare of those involved”.

    Penn, who has lived in his south London flat with his wife for just over a year, said he contacted the police only as a last resort after knocking three times at the couple’s front door.

    Symonds can be heard on Penn’s recording telling Johnson, 55, to “get off me” and “get out of my flat”.


    They can't all be leftists.

    4 with his ex wife.

    1 with a woman he had an affair with which he tried to keep under wraps until a court decided it could be reported on.

    Strong rumours he has another secret love child.

    Lol. I've been with my partner for over 12 years and we've never thrown plates, upended tables or smashed cups during an argument.

    It's really not a normal relationship for any of the above to happen. What are you throwing plates for?
