What's your point Piggy? Man gets divorced isn't a story.

[TheDevil]

"Man gets divorced isn't a story."


No, but Prime Minister gets divorced for the how many times now? kind of is.

[TheDevil]

Boris has an odd record.

"The public had a right to know that he had fathered a daughter during an affair while he was the Mayor of London.

Previously, he was sacked as shadow arts minister in 2004 after it was reported he had had an affair with journalist Petronella Wyatt."

Insert other proof Boris is misogynistic here...

Our Prime Minister is a sleeze bag.

//Our Prime Minister is a sleeze bag.//

Hardly. You would need to look at Keith Vaz to recognise a sleeeze bag.

[Mozz71]

//No, but Prime Minister gets divorced for the how many times now?//

Second time, he's hardly Liz Taylor. And given that they have been separated for 18 months now, I stand by this being a non-story.

[TheDevil]

One doesn't take from the other.

Different degrees.

Anyone who has an affair whilst married is sleazy.

[TheDevil]

"I stand by this being a non-story"

That's OK. In my opinion it must be a story, because there is a link to the story in the OP.

This is the second time today you've shared your lack of care or interest in a thread Mozz. If it's a non story then don't read too much into it ;-P

[Mozz71]

Yup, and the second time you've decided to police me on the topic too TD. I guess we all need our hobbies, don't we?

[retrocop]

It's a non story because it isn't news that most of us were not aware of in any case. Known as yesterday's chip paper and hardly a shocking revelation.

[TheDevil]

The independent is not known as yesterdays chip paper.

Considering the judge has only just given permission for divorce decree application you must have a special crystal ball Retro.

[Khandro]

Neither of them were present, it was an arranged formality & she says they are still friends, both are happy with the financial settlement, so a good result all round & Dilyn isn't living in a house of sin.

His first marriage was to Allegra Mostyn-Owen, the daughter of the art historian William Mostyn-Owen and the Italian writer Gaia Servadio. The marriage was dissolved in 1993, six years after they wed.

Marina married Boris Johnson in 1993 after they met again while he was working as a reporter for The Daily Telegraph.

The couple went on to have four children together, Lara Lettice, Milo Arthur, Cassia Peaches and Theodore Apollo.

In 2004, Mr Johnson was sacked as shadow arts minister by then Conservative Party leader Michael Howard following a reported affair with journalist Petronella Wyatt.

In 2013, when he was London mayor, the Appeal Court ruled the public had a right to know that Mr Johnson had an affair with art consultant Helen Macintyre, who later gave birth to their daughter.

Carrie Symonds (born 17 March 1988) is the partner of the PM, Boris Johnson. She is the first unmarried partner of a prime minister to reside in 10 Downing Street.

Aye, a bit of a lad. What I would ask all of these women is "What on earth did you see in him?"

[piggynose]

Shouldn't he be setting an example in his position? Or am i being prudish?

[TheDevil]

Apparently how a man treats and cares for those closest to him doesn't reflect how he cares and treats his country as our Prime Minister, Piggynose.
I'd say it does but eh...
If he can't commit to the love of his life how can he commit to any promise he has no emotion for?

[Mamyalynne]

Piggy, do you mean should he and his wife stay in a loveless marriage to please us?

I am no supporter of his and yes I did know he's a bit of a lad but m not sure I am following your drift.

[woofgang]

would you employ a plumber who was an excellent plumber but a serial divorcee?

[gulliver1]

Wonder what his" Bit on the side" thinks of it all ?.

[TheDevil]

"would you employ a plumber who was an excellent plumber but a serial divorcee?"

Comparing plumbing to activities associated with the governance of a country or area is futile.

Plumbing has no affect on other people. Being the Prime Minister does.

[TheDevil]

Gully she's probably thinking "Thank god only 5 more years and he might get bored with me".

[Khandro]

Yes & the same applies to actors, film makers & producers, there behaviour in their private lives has nothing to do with their day-job.
