In this day and age it’s very common to record incidents where you think evidence might be needed, there’s nothing wrong with recording noises you can hear in your own property, just think, if he had been beating her, then there would have been suitable evidence to back it up,.

Could it be an innocent row being used by militants to smear someone? Possibly.
Could it be a high ranking politician using his power and influence in the media to discredit people that could expose his abusive, aggressive ways? Possibly.

He clearly has some influence seeing as the police lied and said there were no incidents at that address, until they were confronted with all the details and had no choice but to confirm it.

Where have I claimed that he acted with decorum hmm? Im not a Boris fan for clarification....

I'm going by what was reported. But you seem to have a different version of events. Why?
The recording was also given to the police. Haven't heard them querying it.

Johnson does something stupid yet you blame others for reporting it

Idc about their credibility. It's not about them.
Its him who's running for office not them.
We have hard facts: the recording and the police visit
Plus his curious lack of comment

Most of London voted remain and despise Johnson.
They are not unusual.

Look forward to his premiership. Should be a laff

[Cherie]

those who reported it are to blame for what exactly? I have no idea what point you are trying to make here

I have already said I think its odd he didn't answer questions on it, and that it is more damaging than the event itself, what more do you want for me, pinky swear it in blood

Have not seen the campaign to smear them? Even in this thread
As if their political views had anything to do with Johnson behaviour
Let's deal with him not them.
Of course they dont like him, most leakers report to media to expose , that's a given

For me, he needs to realise this isn't going away.
I mean, one of his main characteristics are he often waded into or caused controversy.

This stage managing of him, keeping.him gagged is just not him.
It is so transparent, the fears are he'd want to and then probably would make gaffes and say dubious and even unsavoury comments.

That however is the real Boris Johnson.

Onto this issue,.he let it get public, others heard it, through the day less of an issue but around or after midnight more unacceptable.

Had he charged in, joking about it.
Saying yes they had a fight of sorts, most couples do, it was all sorted and he regretted any inconvenience to his neighbours.
He could have put this probably to bed.

As it is,.he's allowing it to develop into something that may be around all through his campaign.
As he's seen to be being more devious than usual.

That wouldn't bother me if it were to affect his chances.
I'd hate to see him as PM of the UK.

However, he needs to be Boris Johnson, not a string pulled puppet.

[bitontheslide]

He is out and around the country for the next few weeks and then he will be moving in to number 10, so i don't think there is a particular issue at the present time

[Toy Soldier]

The message that's being pushed here is ****ing abysmal regardless of who this is about;

"Hear a domestic disturbance and someone in distress? Mind your own business, don't alert anyone, it's probably nothing, and if you report it you're a nosy nightmare neighbour."

There were 600,000 reported incidents of domestic violence in 2018, and it's estimated that less than HALF are reported so the true figure is well over 1 million. There were over 200,000 arrests made, and two+ women every week in the UK are killed by a partner in a domestic violence incident.

This is all verified ONS data, not tabloid figures.

But hey everyone argues so mind your own beeswax, amirite?

...yet we teach our children to be thoughtful and mindful of others etc ...go figure...

I don't think anyone would fault them for reporting it but passing the audio to a newspaper because you're unhappy that Boris wasn't led away in handcuffs is a bit dubious, its like they're disappointed that there wasn't actually a serious domestic violence incident taking place

In what possible world is this information not in the public interest, though? I suppose it's indicative of how seriously we take politics though isn't it. "Who do we want to be the leader of our country? Meh whoever who cares anyone will do none of our business what they get up to anyway."

I don't know if it is tbh, not when we don't really know the circumstances surrounding it or the nature of their relationship

For all we know many of our previous leaders could have had plenty of moments like this and there's been many a good politician who have had serious flaws and personal demons but we don't really know what goes on behind anyones closed doors and I don't think we're entitled to know

[bitontheslide]

the story won't change the result of the contest anyway. Those that support Boris aren't going to change their minds hearing this story

[Livia]

He has nothing to answer according to the police. Everyone rows. And honestly, as much as I hate Corbyn, I would say the same if this involved him. Everyone has a right to a private life no matter what they do for a living. And he and his girlfriend are back together, just like countless other couples who had a fight over the weekend.

[Toy Soldier]

Again, if our criteria for the most suitable people to run the entire country is "not a criminal " then we are well and truly ****ed. Although I say that like we didn't know already.

So when police said there was nothing to answer, everyone was safe, no further action was needed. What do you think that meant?
