So Boris has been busy

It's not money that impresses

Fact is Boris's children have a father who is wealthy enough to support them very well

A 'feckless' father of multiple children won't be doing anything to support his children

Can't really compare

Ha ha, most posters clearly couldn't cope with an alpha male like Boris. And yet I bet you all loved the King in 'The King and I' with his harem.

Really nasty posts on here about a young woman expecting her first child with a man she loves.

GG13 I agree - just because you dislike her partners politics is no excuse for the disdainful remarks aimed as this woman pregnant with her first child.

GG13 it isn't nasty to consider a young woman may have made a big mistake. Look at the evidence Wife No1 divorced 12 days later he re-marries. Wife No 2 during this marriage there is evidence of at least 3 affairs one of which resulted in a child. 4 children from marriage. Within 11 days of divorce announces engagement and baby. There is also still the pole dancer investigation. Would you really be so happy if Carrie was your daughter?
I remember when the Conservative party was the party of morality and standards!

For those wondering how Carrie could possibly do it with ol' BJ, let me remind you of Mrs. Merton's question to Debbie McGee. "Tell me, what first attracted you to millionaire... etc" and power is a massive aphrodisiac too.
I also think it'll take more than getting married to make an honest man of him. If he were a woman, he'd never have made it to no. 10 but would be considered a feckless slut. Double standards or what.

Let's hope he keeps track of this one.

You are right Chestnut I couldn't couldn't cope with Boris - I couldn't cope with his philandering and wandering eye.

How does anything justify the comment

"What I don't get is how Carrie can bring herself to, you know... with him!"

I find that particularly unpleasant as I had the same comment made to me just because I married an immigrant.

Hahahahaha!!!!! Trisher, you DO make me laugh!

I pity Carrie and the baby actually. I'm not mocking her. She is deluded. Her baby is going to grow up without a dad. I hope she has a nice father of her own who can be a good grandad to the baby, because it sure as hell isn't going to see a lot of Boris.

Still, I guess his fecklessness is acceptable because she won't need to claim benefits when he moves on to his next victim.

And PLEASE! Comparing BJ to Yul Brynner? Shall we have a show of hands?

Debbie McGee and Paul Daniels were married 28 years so not
money ?

Oldwoman70, it actually isn't his appearance I object to. None of use can help our exterior (or can we? See the 10 years younger in 10 days thread). It is his INTERIOR I object to.

Serial adulterer. Feckless father. Puppet PM.

On that note, I too, married an immigrant. I'm assuming your husband wasn't a megalomanic?

It seems not, Anniebach. Funny old world. The Mrs. Merton question WAS a classic though.

yggdrasil - not to mention all those poor people with flooded homes!!!

Something to celebrate in these grey dismal days.

GagaJo That still doesn't justify that comment. It, and others on this thread, are aimed at her - not him.

He never talks about his private life.
She has mostly kept out of sight, and in the background if she has attended political events with him.
He is a rich man and I cannot imagine that there is a child out there unsupported by him - wouldn't we have heard all about it in the gutter press? I don't doubt they have tried hard to find something.
His daughter was undoubtedly upset by the divorce, that's a natural reaction when parents part company; he married his second wife when she was pregnant by him before he had divorced the first.
In other countries a politican's private life is just that.

I know someone who married a serial philanderer, marriages and children. They have been completely in love and happily married for 37 years.

I read this morning that Carrie was 6yrs old when Johnson last got married. Food for thought

Here, here GrannyGravy13!

News of a birth of any child is ALWAYS good news to me.

It’s just what Alpha Males do, isn’t it?

And very often have. Not so long ago there was enough deference towards anyone with rank/power/money - or all three - that their affairs/hanky-panky - not to mention actual abuse - would rarely make it into the papers. In any case, such a person’s version of events would normally be believed over any unimportant Little Person’s version, because Important People were invariably honest and upright, weren’t they?

Perhaps the Profumo Affair was a bit of a turning point there - fresh in my mind after the Christine Keeler TV series recently, though I do remember all the hoo-ha at the time.

My heart sank when i heard this news! I couldn’t imagine having sex with Boris and another child for him to bring into his dysfunctional family. I hope his fiancée knows what she is doing!!
I truly believe they announced this to take the public’s eye off all of the damage being caused across Government, the communities flooded out and the lovely Ms Patel.
Don’t give me “ It’s lovely news” . The man is a disgrace!!!

I'm less bothered by their age difference than his lack of fatherly responsibility.

She IS after all a 31 year old adult. As one of my students said in PHSE the other day, 'A 10 year age gap is fine between 25 and 35, but if it's between 15 and 25 it clearly isn't.'

I agree, Susieq62. Yet another child brought into the world to be ignored by him.

Sometimes people are unfaithful because they aren't particularly happy with their partners because they weren't really in love with them before they embarked on serious commitment. They thought they knew what love was but they didn't. Then they meet 'the one' and settle down. Who knows, Carrie might be that person and might be the love of Boris's life with their baby cementing that relationship. His track record isn't great but where there's life there's hope!
