Gropegate: Conservative Party Conference 2019

[Tony L]

Another year, another dark blue rain cloud settles on a deeply unwilling Manchester. The other two party conferences got their own threads, so here’s a suitable recycling bin for Boris ‘#MeToo’ Johnson and the rest of them. Enjoy.

Nothing to see here, Mary says that nothing happened. So that's cleared that up. Move along please.

one lunch, two alleged gropes.

Javid also told BBC One’s Breakfast: "I don’t think it’s a good idea to get drawn into personal allegations."

nice dodge.

It'll play well with Johnson's base ("man can't put his hands where he wants anymore, world's gone mad...").

Ms friend of BORIS might look happier

 

[TheDecameron]

Are we having more letters fall off the podium this year, to spell ‘Groper’ or ‘Fcuck everything’?

 

[glancaster]

Boris does define himself as a social liberal. This means he takes liberties at social occasions.

It'll play well with Johnson's base ("man can't put his hands where he wants anymore, world's gone mad...").

Yep. He's "doing a trump" as I feared.... No doubt he'll shortly be making some racist and homophobic comments which he will refuse to apologise for...

 

[Swamp Thing]

I'M SPARTAC... oh, him.

No - he is Spartacus. And a complete arse.

nice dodge.

As a foreigner I thank you! Particularly intrigued by: “enough inner flesh beneath his fingers” to make her “sit upright”. As a poor foreigner, I wonder why she was not sitting upright to begin with, if she was well brought up, and how one measures quantities of "inner flesh." (What is "inner flesh" with respect to "outer flesh?) Since he was also groping another woman's thigh at the same dinner, 20 years ago, she must have been sitting on his other side.

Interesting career move from Matt Hancock: “I know Charlotte well, and I entirely trust what she has to say.”

That's going to make things a little frosty at Cabinet.

Imagine admitting to being a Tory and having to sit though this guff.

A bunch of has-beens. Boot them out before they destroy the country.

I imagine they are talking about flesh of the inner thigh i.e. the inside of the leg, you know, the warmer region.
Makes you wonder how he got so fat if he spent his dinner times feeling up journalists.
Anyway, nice to know he’s ambidextrous, good quality for a PM.

Loathesome completely bombed, it's toe-curling do have a look. It seems that not even all the attendees at Conference have swallowed the Brexit Kool Aid.
