It's a BOY!!

Sparklefizz if you don't want me to explain don't ask questions of me.

It's not your explanations, it's your general sneering, sarcasm and tone of superiority towards other posters. I don't need to put people down if they disagree with me but it seems that you do, and it's unpleasant.

Annie shouldn't your message have be sent to Boris????

trisher I didn’t say Corbyn’s personal life was as chaotic as
Johnson’s.

Having sex doesn’t always mean a pregnancy follows.

Diane Abbott for example

Sparklefizz if you don't want me to explain don't ask questions of me.
Annie "shit" was a general term for some if not all of the stuff said about Corbyn. I seem to remember a lot of criticuism about his personal life. It was neither as colourful nor as chaotic as Johnsons and certainly didn't involve as many offspring. So who are we talking about as 'walking on water'?

trisher

‘You disagree with anything I say so are hardly someone whose interpretation can be relied upon.’

Ditto

so all critcism of Corbyn was ‘shit’ . He still hasn’t walked on
water .

I never referred to mental illness in the RF Annie you interpreted something I said as such. Then questioned if what I said had happened. I don't propose to get into a debate about that but please don't try saying I have said something unless you are actually posting a quote. You disagree with anything I say so are hardly someone whose interpretation can be relied upon.

Trisher you always have to sneer or add some sarcastic or snidey remark at people who don't agree with you.

That statement is amazing when you think of all the shit that was thrown at Corbyn (and still is by some!). It isn't wanting perfection. It is wanting someone who actually thinks before he speaks or writes, considers his words and exhibits a degree of competence and reliability. A little honesty might be good as well. I suppose understanding and empathy are too much to expect.

Yes trisher, I remember you used the term ‘dysfunctional family’ with the royal family and mental illness.

A parent with mental health illness can affect their child’s life,
not always but it does happen. As a child with mental illness
can affect their parents lives.

You defended Corbyn regardless of his ,in my opinion, hypocrisy. I criticise regardless of politics .

I don’t understand the obsession with wanting ‘perfect’ politicians - I’m not sure one exists - no more than the perfect voter does!

These things are well known about Boris but people still like/vote for him.

If people really don't see the difference between an elected politician and an accident of birth I really do despair for democracy.

Anniebach you do know that Boris's mother has mental health problems don't you?

Perhaps Boris comes from a dysfunctional family .

Throwing stones is throwing stones regardless of the target

Sparklefizz because Boris is an elected politician who has consistently lied, lived a life at odds with his public announcements, treated women like shit, fathered more children than he apparently knows about and made sexist and racist comments. And H&M are an inconsequential young couple who have simply left the country and a disfunctional family. But I understand that it's easier to throw stones at people who don't matter than admit you voted for a useless PM.

I would like to know why Trisher feels it is perfectly ok to be extremely critical of Boris's behaviour, but not for GNetters to criticise Harry & Meghan's behaviour.

If female no party would have elected her leader,

Boris called the children of single mothers ill-raised, ignorant, aggressive and illegitimate
I wonder how his daughter feels about that?
He also wrote an article where he said the children of working mothers were more likely to become muggers and NEETS (Not in education or training). I wonder if Carrie will stop working?
If he were female nanafish he wouldn't have got past the Tory selection process. Male privilege may have changed, meaning men can now publicly acknowledge their indiscretions but the underlying philosophy, that it's OK for blokes still remans.

She wouldn’t be PM

I wonder if we would feel differently -If roles were reversed and a female primeminister had her 5/6th child and had three different fathers.. just saying like...

Boris was not talking about the 44% and I doubt he reads the Mail.
I was not giving my views, I was repeating his albeit not verbatim.

Oh the stereotypical, mythical, deliberately single mother ! It had to come up didn't it. Too much Daily Mail reading.
The real facts about single parents
Less than one per cent of single parents are teenagers (aged 16-19 years)
Slightly less than half – 44 per cent – of single parents had their children within marriage; that is, they are married/in a civil partnership, separated, divorced or a surviving partner
But why deal in real facts so much easier to condemn and criticise.

And I doubt very much if the women concerned were coerced into a relationship with him. They were all willing adults with jobs and homes, not waifs and strays he enticed into his arms.
There is a huge difference.

trisher
You may think Boris is pontificating and being hypocritical when talking about single mothers but the ones he refers to are the ones on permanent benefits, who never work, who have child after child and the fathers make no contribution. Who get social housing and larger accommodation as the number of children they have, rises.
Some have undeclared boyfriends living with them who are not the fathers of their offspring.
Boris is not in that category and nor are the mothers of his children.
