You're sat typing out these long winded justifications, yet really you absolutely despise Boris and the Tories. I'd phone the Police if I thought someone was getting hurt, I'd also go knock on the door if I was really concerned and not stand around waiting for the police. Then again I'm not a pathetic Guardian reader.
Is violence against women now the new norm for the Tory party?

Yeah edited original post now
Courts decide guilt. Police investigate potential crimes.
And the police have confirmed there is absolutely no crime here. The rest is just an idiotic partisan #£#)storm Being driven by vested interests abusing the emotional reaction to actual domestic abuse.

Most people would "want" to do something, many wouldn't though. The risk of intervening is pretty substantial and with knife front so high you have to consider that as well.
There was a social experiment done a while ago of the same scenario. Man shouting at a women in public, he got lynched.
Women doing the same, the bloke got laughed at.

This is very vague and wishy-washy.
Where is this "social experiment" documented? How many times was it attempted, what was the sample size of participants?

Its been done a few times I think, I have certainly seen videos of this "experiment". Not sure its particular an in depth or thorough scientific analysis though.
Essentially woman shouting at man/being a bit physical, everyone walks on. Man doing the same, some people intervene.

Suffice to say as much as people want women to have equality, the same doesn't seem to apply when it applies to men.
What ever the arguement was about is none of our business and the people who recorded it (which is creepy too start with) and then proceeded to contact the papers even after the police had investigated and found absolutely nothing wrong. Well it's blatantly obvious that it was a politically motivated move.
One that is likely to be positive for BoJo as now J.Hunt wants to try and capitalize on someone else's misfortune.

This country has hit the US standards of absurdity, it must be something in the English speaking world (see Australia as well, though Canada and NZ seem to be resisting) where we are losing the ability to be decent, in the obsessive desire to "win."
Those on the right will excuse anything, from anyone, if they reflect their political views. The left are just as bad though, the complete white washing of the anti semitism is horrific but ignored because it suits them.
We are going to a bad place where compromise between different "groups" is disappearing and people must "win" every arguement and be "right" about everything. The left doesn't have the answer, the right doesn't have the answer, as with anything the best solutions are almost always found in the Greys between the extremes but we are losing the ability to have these conversations.
I say it's an English speaking problem as you look at most other Northern European countries and they are markedly different and don't seem to be following this route, especially the Scandics.
Its a sad world where people let their egos block things getting better, but hey, at least you'll be the winner standing atop the mess

.wtf, a far lefty neighbour calls the police because she hears raised voices around the same time decision for new prime minister has to be made. Didn't realise an argument between husband and wife means violence.
What on earth are you loonies smoking?

Part of me wants Boris to become PM just to annoy the raving lefties in this thread
Hunt, Boris it makes no odds. Neither will get Brexit through Parliament so which ever gets the job is doomed.

They aren't married and if anyone hears raised voices that sound like violence is either happening or imminent they should call the police.

but violence wasn't happening and violence wasn't imminent, people raise they're voices its human nature to argue.
just because a couple are having a heated exchange does not mean man had a girlfriend in a headlock or vice versa, it's very much down to the situation.
If like someone has mentioned you can hear banging and screaming " get off me" or words to that effect then yea good call. Waste of police time just because you've heard some shouting.
Have any recording been released yet? Or is it all down to what Boris's lefty neighbors account?

What a minute
How do we know this neighbour is a "far lefty"?
Because he voted Remain?
Soldato
How do you know violence wasn't imminent? No one but the neighbours, Boris and his girlfriend know what was being shouted. If the police thought it was made up they could have arrested the neighbours for wasting police time.
Soldato
Come on anyone who voted remain is a far lefty nut job, everyone who voted leave knows this.

Personally I only call the police if I dont like someone, if they are left leaning I will let them get on with any violence they fancy.

a quick google will feed you back a dozen or so articles to review..... it's clear to see they have an agenda. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politic...rs-admit-taping-boris-johnson-row-girlfriend/
btw I'm not a conservative or labour I hate them as much as the other. I don't like Boris either he is an idiot and the other candidate is dog **** too. I'm just not buying the whole Boris is a violent wife beater agenda.
The police came to a call, nothing of concern, yet media still drumming it here there everywhere.
