Easy to understand any politician being on high alert when you have people defending the right of the BBC to broadcast a Jo Brand ‘joke’ about hating politicians and throwing acid over them.

Whereas saying you’ll “pick up a rifle and join the front line” without a hint of humour in your voice is clearly sound political campaigning.

Give over you massive snowflake.

“In the current climate” - very apt. The world is fucking burning and those in power don’t give a shit.

In the current climate. Where it’s OK to label people with a different opinion a traitor or comment they should be charged with treason. Righty snowflakes.

Brexity mad twats.

It’s a cult.

That Tory membership poll is all you need to know. Would happily destroy the country to get what they want (literally treason) only thing that’d stop them is sticking it to the left.

Absolute nutters driven by hate and hate alone. Can’t imagine how the silent majority who voted Leave feel with them being the public face.

Lol...or if someone has a different opinion on an issue you resort to calling them a 'snowflake'?

That poll was shocking. The majority would happily see Scottish independence for brexit, see Northern Ireland leave the U.K. for brexit, see the demise of their own party for Brexit and see an economic disaster for the country for Brexit. If anything Boris isn’t extreme enough for them.

It isn’t even a joke. An actual Tory MP suggested that the Treason Act should be updated to include “extreme remainers”.
Come off it - you'd be thrilled to bits if it was the other way round & Brexiteers were being classed as treasoners

Would I? Based on what exactly? Other than you can’t disagree that it’s a ridiculous thing to say so you’re trying to turn the table.

It does seem odd that people wanting BRITAIN to be out of the EU are willing to see the end of Britain to make it happen. It's like "if we can't have it nobody can have it"

Hahaha. Being called a snowflake by one of Old Vince’s precious little Lib UnDemmers.

That’s a goodun, full marks for irony but still not as good as your one about Sturgeon being a good leader. Don’t think you’ll ever beat that one.

Police called to Boris Johnson's home after row

I have to say that the details of this story are incredible. It sounds like a couple of love struck teenagers arguing yet one of them is a man in his 50’s and probably our next PM.
Leaving aside the row (and much as it pains me to say it, it's a non-story) I couldn't help but think it's a sign of London living that the future PM's neighbours can hear through the walls the most intimate details of his life.

Imagine being kept up all night by Boris getting amorous!

Of all the stuff the papers could focus on on Boris (and let's face it there's far too much to list here) they've decided a domestic argument is one worth running with?

Only bit of it that I thought might be even slightly worthy of explanation is the neighbour apparently hearing her say "get off me". Most likely nothing, but with Boris' reputation you can't help but wonder....

Again from what's reported, if you were to make a snap judgement, it seems he was the more passive one anyway!

Guess she trashed his laptop... :D

Just watched the news and both candidates were being interviewed in front of Party members today and the majority of Boris’ interviewing was him trying not to answer a question about the recent event with his girlfriend (5 times in total). Now if I was being sceptical I’d say that this was staged as a distraction from him being asked any relevant questions to being a Prime Minister.

We are about to have Boris Johnson as prime minister.
A proven liar, philanderer and incompetent, (And that's being generous).
No wonder the world is laughing at us.
I am embarrassed to be honest.
The rest of them are nothing to write home about but he is the worse of a bad bunch.

We never had it so good as we did with the May years...

On the contary...I would be questioning him on it because as a member of the Tory party I would be seeking reassurance thwt my leader is not going to be a volatile embarrassment. God knows why they cannot see that he is already mind you.

You’d need to ask questions to understand if Boris is going to be a volatile embarrassment? Really? Isn’t that obvious already? It’s not like he’s the unheard of underdog. We’ve had years of Boris to realise that he’s a volatile embarrassment. That’s the only given with him.

Did you actually read what I said in the post? Or are you just trying to have a pop at me?

Billy Bragg said of Brexit that not all Brexit supporters are racists but all racists are Brexit supporters and it tends to be best not to be on the same side as racists. I would think that goes for Trump and Boris supporters also.

Boris's sidekick Lyn truss was on the radio this morning.
One factually incorrect statement after another, it's beyond parody.

Peter Hitchens may not be everyone’s cup of tea but he put in a funny analogy about Johnson

He’s organised a massive picnic on a sunny day. He’d bring all the food. He turns up and says he’s forgot the food but we will all still have a great time as it’s sunny, it then rains all day as he forgot to look at the weather forecast

Everyone goes home in good spirits laughing and joking and blaming themselves as they should have bought the food and checked the forecast and Boris tells some jokes.

Someone complains at the back and they are jeered at and ridiculed and then are banned from the next jolly picnic
