It was in public interest

Well it's not really...and the round of applause he got from his fellow MPs when he refused to be drawn into answering questions on it shows that they agree..

You have already taken Theresa mays view as gospel when she condemned the attack on the greenpeace protestor so I am assuming you will do the same here and agree that it in fact is not in the public interest.

It was Tory activists not MPs
I also said the thirst for Brexit is so irrational among some that they would let satan himself deliver it, let alone Johnson

Btw, he agreed, at the same meeting, that the public has a right to judge his character.

Party members, not activists....

But you said MPs :laugh: make up your mind :hee:

And life goes on!

The police were called, they attended, they interviewed the parties involved and concluded that everyone involved was fine and that there were no further questions to answer.

So, what is it you know that the police don't?

And I'd rather like to see the busybodies named and shamed. Record people arguing next door for the police if you think there's danger... but they sold it to the Guardian.

i think it is very much in the public interest to know what type of character Boris is, he could be the next prime minister. Look at the attention that Brown got when he was talking about that lady .... thats public interest. John Major recorded calling his cabinet bastards ... again in the public interest

If the reactions it got is anything to go by they did the right thing by contacting a newspaper.
Malcolm Rifkind who I've always respected summed it up well:

The couple who called the cops are remainers and the female has wrote articles attacking the Tories and bragged about putting her finger up to Boris

The two candidates left are both leavers though, so not sure what ousting Boris will do for remain.

i think he did more damage by not addressed it then the actual event itself

It suggests that there was a motive by the couple not because they were scared

oh 100 per cent it was nothing to do with being scared, he started recording before he went and knocked on the door, who does that if they think someone is in danger lol

His account is life

Do you have proof?
I read he started recording later.
And fyi, people record stuff on their phones to document a potential crime

And wouldn't it he simpler if Johnson behaved with some decorum as a PM wannabe rather than have blazing rows neighbours can hear? How about that? Hm?

So you never have a blazing row in your life? It's funny how the left take the word of the left then his partner who denied most of the accusations

Johnson deserves all the scrutiny as a potential PM
Theresa would never

No I don't have proof, do you have proof of what you claim?

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

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.

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

The couple lost all credibility when the woman bragged about flipping off Bojo like a child she is

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.

That is the version I read? I haven't followed every article on it mind....

:joker:

As I said, he ****s up, those who report it are to blame

Look forward to his premiership. Should be a laff

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

Sums it up in one.

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.

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

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?

Yes he going ahead
ignoring the SkyNewsHD live debate tomorrow night,
as well.

So they will have just Jeremy Hunt
on his own?

...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."
