Police were called to the home of Boris Johnson and his partner, Carrie Symonds, in the early hours of Friday morning after neighbours heard a loud altercation involving screaming, shouting and banging.

The argument could be heard outside the property where the potential future prime minister is living with Symonds, a former Conservative party head of press.

A neighbour told the Guardian they heard a woman screaming followed by “slamming and banging”. At one point Symonds could be heard telling Johnson to “get off me” and “get out of my flat”.

The neighbour said that after becoming concerned they knocked on the door but received no response. “I [was] hoping that someone would answer the door and say ‘We’re okay’. I knocked three times and no one came to the door.”

1. maybe the stress of the (potential) hot seat is getting to someone

[not fooled]

2. The social graces

of his political soulmate dirty donnie. They obviously have more in common than racism and fascism.


Why are so many of these people uncivilized?

From the article:

Symonds is heard saying Johnson had ruined a sofa with red wine: “You just don’t care for anything because you’re spoilt. You have no care for money or anything.”

Birds of a feather...

5. Narcissism is what they have in common

Tends to result in a sense of entitlement - including being able to have sex with whomever it pleases them whenever it pleases them.

3. The British Cheeto

Didn't the orange blob have a number of domestic violence allegations from his prior marriages (and possibly this one)?

6. Boris Trumpson?

I'm not aware of a violent past of his, but he hasn't exactly been the most faithful husband.

Boris may be a buffoon and daft with Brexit but he is more intelligent than the American Dotard... definitely better educated. But with Brexit he needs to listen to his brother and sister (brother is a Tory MP, sister is a journalist who quit the Tories) and go for a new referendum.

7. Thanks for the great info!

Always good to have a local perspective on overseas politics.

That said, Boris strikes me as an alcoholic.

Is this true, to your knowledge? And are his vices likely to impact his (possible) premiership?

4. From UK's The Times: "Ms Symonds, a former Conservative Party spin doctor"

"She has been credited with cleaning up his act as well as his image"

So it seems that the 55 year old Boris had a row with his 31 year old turd polisher. Let's hope this is the beginning of a flood of bad news that torpedoes this guy.
