The real reason why the story about Carrie being offered a 100k pa job with Johnson was hastily withdrawn from The Times is now revealed - they were caught in a compromising position on his office sofa ( think Bill Clinton and Monica L , or maybe think BJ). maybe you don’t want to have that mental image or maybe it’s hard to swallow. Carrie must have a strong stomach is all I can say.

When I first read about it, looked at his fat belly with his shirt hanging over the waistband of his trousers, I did have a little bit of sick in my mouth envy. Not envy.

A Tory Mp walked in on them, allegedly.

Allegedly it was Gavin Williamson. I wonder why that idiot got a knighthood ?

MerylStreep, I fear you got it there. There’s just no shame in this lot of tories

Well, he didn't get knighted for either doing a good job, or his intelligence.

I wonder how it feels when you get a knighthood for services to your boss and him getting a BJ??

Oh yuk yuk yuk
It did happen in my work office and one of my colleagues was boasting about having sex on the desks after everyone had gone home I couldn’t look at my desk without wondering !!!

Oh dear DiamondLily I’ll never think of him as BJ again… yuck.

Makes you almost long for times past, when it seems that the worst that would happen in workplaces was a quick grope in the stationary cupboard, or drunken sex over the photocopier, during the Christmas party lol ?

Oh dear! I do wish you hadn’t shared that with us. It turns my stomach what some women will do to be with a man they consider to have power or money or both. Me, I would rather scrub floors. Dig deep enough and I’m sure there’s many, many more that get away with the same, we just don’t know about them. It being caught that’s the problem with those people not the act, they really don’t care. If you are looking for principles than and/or integrity, don’t look at a politician.

If only the sofa in his office could talk. It must have seen a lot of action....... maybe not?

kircubbin2000 Thu 30-Jun-22 15:11:47

These things do go on. My friend used to meet her friends husband in his office at teatime and get down to it on his desk.

DiamondLily Thu 30-Jun-22 15:15:21

I don't think it's just politicians. Diana always said that Michael Fawcett did much more for Charles, every morning, than just spread his toothpaste on the brush...?

Sunny82z Thu 30-Jun-22 15:24:01

No wonder he was trying to find her a job in the Foreign office. Good grief I despair, what have we come to.

Why would that make them pull the story?

Perhaps they were showing consideration to members of the public Zoejory.
I know I am not alone in feeling sick at the very thought of that fat pink slug being on the receiving end of a BJ.

Back in my day, it was the stationery cupboard that contained the action.

ShazzaKanazza Thu 30-Jun-22 15:30:46

Yuk! It’s just nearly made me bring my fish and chips back up. ?

I want to know who paid for dry cleaning the sofa covers.

And mine lol....mind you, I worked for one of the big 4 banks, which were very sober places then, so I don't think they would have approved of sofas and oral doings ..?

Never buy a second hand sofa from the Foreign Office.

When you hear what these people get up to on a normal working day behind closed doors it's no surprise they can't tell a work event from a party.

DiamondLily Thu 30-Jun-22 15:55:47

Carrie sure earns her pampered lifestyle. ?

Nooooo?. I have just bleached my brain, and now I'm going to have to scour it, too.

Did you really have to post about that fat pink slug?
That’s another image I will never lose ?

As well as the fact he shouldn't have been having sexual relations in his office, he allegedly tried to get her a well paid, high security clearance post in the FO. I guess this could be construed as handing out government contracts (albeit work contracts) in exchange for sexual favours. How is this man in any position of authority let alone the PM of the uk?

Perish the thought!

It is generally accepted on Twitter that the person who walked in on them was Gavin Williamson.
