19 years ago was 2002, not 1975.

Yes Very True.

Well if someone randomly came up to you and did that, would you be pleased or offended.

She stated he slapped her really hard.
Is that acceptable too.

Or does anything get excused as to the Johnson's ???

It doesn't matter what party anyone is in.

It doesn't matter the connection to anyone or status in whatever party either.

To slap anyone anywhere, isn't and shouldn't be acceptable.
No matter who the person is who is offending or the person who ends up offended.
Just wrong.

Why should I be, in this case however, surprised at the possible attempts to diminish it.

Nothing is getting excused, calm down Joey I just posted what was online , Ive had things like that happen I think most women have , at some point, I just turn round and tell them don't touch what you cant afford :blush:, I've also pinched a blokes arse in humour, don't know why you are so angry about what I posted. People react in different ways, It's nothing to do with the Johnsons you have a bit of a bee in your bonnet about that ,If he has done wrong ,he will be found out and punished. Lighten up

Downing Street does not want to know.

I bet they don't.

i listened today to a national radio show from 2002 today and half the content would be discussed in parliament as a hate crime incident

people today would lose their mind at what was acceptable in 2002

its a private person - nothing to do with number 10

We'll probably never know for sure, and people will always wonder if it's true. Either way I doubt anything will be done.

what can be done?

if i said you did that too

what do you want done about it?

Certainly.

Slapping women on the arse in the workplace was not one of the things that was acceptable.

we only have one version, no context

useless

but lets vilify a man on this

:skull:

Butt we're in agreement that if it did happen, arse-slapping wasn't acceptable workplace hijinx in the good old days of 2002?

nope

it wasnt the "workplace"

and it did not happen

How can you say for sure it didn't happen

The man is very restrained with toff on gogglebox.

Because privileged, straight white men always get the benefit of the doubt

The same way you can't say it did

[Mr Johnson told Sky: 'I have no recollection of
Caroline Nokes at all - but there you go.
And no reply... good luck and thanks']

That's not really a denial from him that it didn't happen then.

No recollection of Caroline wasn't no way did he ever do that.

''No recollection of Caroline''.
What does that tell us in a comparison to had he instead said, ''absolutely not I never did that''.

If I was ever accused of something I hadn't done and had the public opportunity to refute it.
I wouldn't be saying I had no recollection of it.
I'd be strenuously denying ever doing so.

What about the second accusation too.
Has he just avoided that addition to events?.

prince Andrew's default response was "no recollection" ... it's a thing lawyers would tell you to say

[What about the second accusation too.
Has he just avoided that addition to events?]


That came after
since he spoke to SkyNews
he has refused to speak to any press.
