Well, at least it's a baby with a face!
Congratulations.

I think Carrie well knows her own husband and what others think of him. Maybe she doesn't care about the opinions of people she doesn't know.

I have read the whole thread and the views are simply resentment about Johnson wrapped up in either a ‘save the planet’ message ( silly enough in this country) or a bit of outrage at his morals.Other feelings popping through are envy of wealth, dislike of Tories and privileged lives and whether Carrie is a good enough Catholic

Well, Oreo, we must be reading different threads! The majority of posts are welcoming of the birth, congratulatory etc.

Perhaps re-read🤷‍♀️

My comment was to Casdon and concerned the negative comments not the many congratulatory ones.Hope that clears up your concerns.

Must also say, as well of the cuteness of the baby that Carrie looks amazingly good.

She certainly does! She’ll certainly have her hands full, but they have a libel home and gardens and have no doubt these children will be well loved and brought up equally well.

He lost his job as PM remember? He never got away with anything at all.

But not as a result of any covid rules broken, but because his own party tired of him!

Oreo Mon 26-May-25 13:44:26

Agreed, but that was a result of him never being able to get away with anything😁

He got away with things for far too long. Even as foreign secretary he was a loose cannon.

Fair enough!

Still can’t sand him haha But have nothing against his wives or children

stand haha not sand

I wish the latest Johnson tribe and their parents well. I’m surprised by the number of posters who state the children will be loved and well brought up. Little evidence that Mr Johnson was a reliable or even regularly present father to his earlier children

Hopefully at 60 he will have settled down. Some men having been womanisers all their adult lives become doting husbands and fathers in their later years.
For his present family I hope this will happen.

So you feel it is your right to judge him, do you, MOnica?
No longer a public figure. Not your business.

I am as free as anyone to reach conclusions on the evidence presented.

There is no such thing as being non-judgmental, just people not realising that no matter how understanding they may be, that understanding is still driven by their prejudices.

I think Carrie will do a great job a parenting and will ensure what Johnson does, or doesn’t do, she’ll ensure her babies are well taken care of and much loved.

The more I look at Gransnet, the more I think 🤔

Calendargirl Mon 26-May-25 15:24:53

There’s another thread all about new parents banning GP’s from seeing baby for the first couple of weeks.

I assume Carrie and Boris don’t subscribe to that point of view, as they are happy to share these pictures with the wider public.

Good for them, not like these silly, entitled new parents.

But seeing as it’s baby number 4, not new parents either, I suppose.

His father was accused of inappropriately touching a woman at the Conservative Party Conference in 2003 (he was 63) and another woman at the 2019 Conference (when he was aged 79).

Churchview Boris is not his father and hopefully won't become like him.

God some people are such miseries. A happy family, a new baby, a joyous event. Why drone on about previous mistakes. They’ve all moved on and so should the sourpusses on here.

Like Ive said before, our greatest fear of getting old should be the fear of becoming unpleasant and grumpy. I see a lot of that as people age. Maybe they were always that way?

Congratulations to the relieved mum that she made it to the other side and to the darling little soul that was born into the family.

So sad that this thread started off with a happy announcement of a new baby for Boris and Carrie, but quickly deteriorated into ‘I hate Boris’ .
I sincerely hope Carrie doesn’t read Gransnet because if she does, her happiness will be diluted by the nastiness shown by some people on here.
Why can’t people ever be pleased for others? They must lead very sad lives if all they want to do is make others unhappy.
I wish every happiness to the Johnson family. The baby looks beautiful.

I would have thought the greatest fear of getting old was becoming patronising smile

Good, neither have I 😃
He was always found out in lies and never being prepared , he didn’t do ‘details’ apparently so then went into bumbling mode and crazy hair.
A really clever politician wouldn’t have always been rumbled.

A pretty baby and congratulations

But it's number nine for Boris !

*TerriBull*. The planet won’t be fine. It isn’t fine now. Human greed is destroying everything. We need far fewer people if the natural world is ever to recover. Birds, animals and plants are disappearing at an alarming rate. Anyone who thinks we need more people needs to wake up.

It depends on the type of people.
