Ms Bruce then said: “I’m not disputing what you’re saying, but just so everyone knows what this is referring to, Stanley Johnson’s wife spoke to a journalist, Tom Bower, and she said that Stanley Johnson had broken her nose and that she’d ended up in hospital as a result. “Stanley Johnson has not commented publicly on that. All of that part is fine to be said for context, and would have been ample, there's no need to say more than that. But there was one more part: "Friends of his have said it did happen, but it was a one-off." THIS is the part that's unecessary and minimising. It doesn't matter - at all - if it was "a one off" or not. It's a terrible thing to say about a domestic violence issue. Again I dunno if it came from her own thinking or someone in her ear and her just parrotting without thinking. |

Or do we actually know he hit her specifically with intent? |

I have read on wiki that it was an allegation made by his ex wife as told to someone else who then made this public so I guess Mt Johnson could deny this happened?

"Pals say it's true" is extra information that isn't needed, and "they say it was a one off" is information that isn't needed AND is irrelevant. "Err I am not a murderer, I only killed one person!!" is clearly not how it works - if he smacked her in the face once, he is a wife beater. |

Honestly, it just goes to show how broken the BBC is that the Gary Linekar situation went the way it did yet Fiona Bruce, the host of question time, can try to waive off domestic violence because it makes the tories look bad.

Not sure if it was the same wife, but one of his ex wives has stated he hit her on the regular.
It is not likely to be a one off, and even if it was, I agree with TS on the minimising aspect of it.

I reckon it's worse than that, I don't think it was Fiona Bruce, I think she had a BBC exec literally in her ear. She repeats "...was required to say..." multiple times in that "apology", definitely came from higher up, probably came from a bloke but she'll take the full flak.

Father Stanley and mother Charlotte. Boris, centre, is pictured with his brother and sisters in the seventies. Mr Bower describes Stanley’s first marriage, to Mr Johnson’s mother Charlotte, as violent and unhappy, quoting her as saying: ‘He broke my nose. He made me feel like I deserved it’ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...s-affairs.html Last edited by arista; 13-03-2023 at 01:20 PM. |

January 6 was a con job hoax.

She wouldn't but all she had to say was that he hasn't commented on the allegation - people can draw whatever they want from that. I appreciate that legally the show couldn't say nothing at all - but she needed to say LESS not more, that's impartiality, and isn't that what all of this recent furor is about.
