The Words of Wisdom of Boris Johnson - Foreign Secretary

Just heard on radio that Boris has announced he and his fiancee are expecting a we baby in the summer and plan to get married.

BBC have it, brave lady, he just got the divorce concluded couple of weeks back.
Dad at 56? Fair play but don't envy him with that, fair age for the dad stuff.

I wouldn't fancy the sleepless nights at that age to be fair. Also didn't realise the age gap between them, I thought inwas doing well Mrs Wolf being 14yrs younger, fair play to Boris..
 
He doesn't talk about his children or how many he has. Well at least we now know that he will have +1. As far as getting engaged before he is divorced...not something I'd do...but then such mere details or considerations are not for our PM.

Realise from many of your 20000+ posts he is not your favourite person.

However from your background and Christianity views perhaps once offer congratulation.

Surely it would not be that difficult.

BTW congratulations PM hope everything goes well for you both.

He needs some urgent counciling.

I congratulate the couple on their good news - I am sure that they are delighted. Christian belief considerations could have some being very critical. But I'm not going down that track. I simply said that I might not get engaged whilst I was not divorced, but hey - Johnson is Johnson - he has his own morals.

That's not like you to criticise without looking at the facts first:rolleyes::eek:

Johnson spoke about his 4 children when discussing his Decree Nisi with reporters September 2018. Bear in mind his ex-wife is the applicant. She allowed more than a year to pass, the time limit on applying for the Decree Absolute, whilst the solicitors for both parties argued the toss on the financial settlement. That settlement was agreed and the family court judge granted an extension to the Nisi and permission for the ex-wife to apply for the Absolute with immediate effect.

Johnson announced the intention to marry 11 days after the last court hearing. If Ms Wheeler, the ex-wife, had applied for the Absolute immediately the settlement was ratified the Absolute would have been granted within 7 days.

A question; should Johnson be 'forced' to wait due to his ex-wife not pushing for the Absolute?

Next you'll be talking about leather pants and crocadile skin handbags.... seriously, at this level again. Pathetic. And yes, talking to someone about your passive-aggressive obsession wouldn't be a bad idea.

Johnson has spoken about his children previously as Hobbit mentioned above with goid facts about the whole situation. But even if he hadn't spoken about his children why on earth would that be something to dig him out about, they're his children and he doesn't need to show public displays of affection in order for them to know what they mean to him nor does he need anyone else's approval of it. What does how many he has do with anything either provided he gives them the love they need in private its absolutely nobody business or place to judge him on his parenting or his choice of timing to get engaged. These are 2 postives currently going on for Boris and yet you're still being overly judgemental and having little digs.
 
Prioritising is fine... Intended avoidance to escape scrutiny is questionable...
And you can factually say he's avoiding it can you or is he merely letting the allocated cabinet ministers get on with their jobs.. Neither of us can say which for certain. But I'd also prefer to congratulate someone on having a child than think it was conceived as an avoidance tactic.

Attending the birth would be "prioritising" with which there should be no issue...
Boris, though, has a penchant for going AWOL for which there should be scrutiny...

Your response was fine (IMO) however the last 5 words undermined your 'congratulations' by inferring the PM's morals were questionable - why was that necessary?
