Police called to would-be UK PM Boris Johnson's home, 'loud altercation' reported

Got it. I fear you are right. But if we still have power and broadcasters, I doubt MTW will be allowed anywhere near the airwaves, the way we are going.

Is it, though? I mean, from what I’ve read, Johnson has a huge lead, despite his history of being an utter bastard. This is pretty minor in the long list of things he’s said and done. Is it even going to negatively impact him at all? If it does, I don’t see how it could remotely make up the difference between Hunt and Johnson’s latest ballot numbers (and that’s with, reportedly, some Johnson supporters voting for Hunt to knock Gove out of the running).

Also: every time I see “Jeremy Hunt” my brain assumes it’s rhyming slang (“He’s a right Jeremy Hunt, he is!”). Which I guess is appropriate, as it’s Jeremy Hunt.

Asshole should have been sacked on the spot, if he seriously thought she was armed he’d be cowering under the table. That goes for all his chums i’ve seen on the news defending this prick.

These tory bastards are under a lot of pressure lately eh? It’s almost as if their party is facing oblivion or something! Why not take it out on one’s spouse, a female protester or kick a homeless in the face… someone you deem less worthy than you. Go on, you know you want to…

Oh, it’s an easy mistake to make and he’s quite used to it…

From the headline, I was betting Boris had fallen off his bicycle.

Yes, the UK’s totally fucked basically.

That said, I suspect that the Johnson’s tenure within No. 10 will be over before Christmas. There’s no more duplicitous bunch of backstabbing bastards than the parliamentary Tories. Lower than vermin, as a more famous person than I correctly observed.

The video where Dame Mary Beard debates with Johnson is the only video that features her that I couldn’t stomach.

@beschizza has me seeing teeth where there are none. Mission accomplished, sir.

Boris Johnson, though? Fucking figures.

“mistake”
(I do wonder how many were 100% intentional, and how many were just Freudian slips…)

He should have been arrested.

The chap who threw a milkshake at Farage got 150 hours community service and had to pay £520 in fines and compensation.

The yellow-vest bellend who followed Anna Soubry (and her police escort) through Westminster calling her a Nazi (but not actually touching her) is up on harassment charges.

But if apparently if you’re a Tory minister and you throw a woman half your size up against a wall, grab her by the scruff of her neck and frog-march her out of the building, you get … suspended from your job. Eventually.

When reading it, my first impression was “I guess he’s trying to establish his creds with the misogyny voters.” Yes, I am so jaded that I suspected this was acting on the part of both to make him seem more manly.
