    1. They did try to intervene...they knocked on the door.
    2. They heard a woman scream "get off of me"...so they called the old bill.

    I do not see whst the issue is with that.

    They then went to the papers which, in my opinion, is **** but hardly uncommon in these days.

    None of the cocks in the media like Toby Young or any of the Tory MPs who are currently whining gave a **** when Diane Abbott had her "privacy" broken when news was leaked about her having a drink on a train.

    Funny how rich powerful people screaming, shouting, banging things and slamming doors at gone midnight deserve privacy yet poorer riff raff would deserve an asbo for such anti social behaviour.

    Agree with the Diane Abbott thing, the law against drinking on trains was designed to deal with drunken louts, not dozy MP's. She didn't do any harm, what's the issue? Stupid law, there are already enough laws to deal with someone getting unruly on a train or even dropping litter, there are too many laws in this country.

    We have enough public appearances of Boris proving that he is a dickhead. But leading a party of dickheads after having been voted in by those same dickheads to lead in an England with huge numbers of dickheads is probably appropriate. If this all helps Scotland to become independent and distance itself from the crumbling land of England on it's way to becoming little America, bring it on!

    No the big element in the Boris story is that a man who as London Mayor sold off land to Chinese and US investors who used it to build blocks of flats too expensive for people to rent that now stand empty, but no doubt gaining value, is thought by himself and it appears the majority of Tories to be appropriate to run the country A bumbling fool who is said to have charisma <laugh> I have to admit he raises a few laughs on Have I got news for you, usually as the butt of the jokes, so yeah, I suppose that IS appropriate for a country that is the butt of so many jokes across the world. Soon to provide another 60 million punters for US money to exploit.
    All great empires go the same way on their way to insignificance. From marching around the playground holding a union jack on Empire Day when I was 5 years old to observing the current spectacle of guileless Tories making fools of themselves and England, the arrogance and stupidity is plain to everyone except themselves.

    The Duke of Edinburgh isn't backed by foreign fascists, though. Quite an important distinction, for me.

    "He'd get us through Brexit, because he means what he says"?
    Where does this crap come from about people who are consistent liars and flip-floppers? It's bizarre.

    At present Boris is saying nothing - which means nothing.
    He's been consistent with that.

    Except when shouting at his missus, of course.
    Allegedly supressing the tape with a court order, so I guess that's still saying nothing. Sort of.

    What are Boris and Steve Bannon planning for poor old Britain? One crook showing a new recruit how to "do" it?

    So, if as expected he achieves nothing, he will be the first politician in the history of the world who actually does what he said.
