I think since Friday the key divide in this country is no longer Leave/Remain or North/South but between - People who think a late night screaming row between a couple is domestic abuse, and - People who’ve been married.

It truly doesn’t. Obviously it’s obfuscated by his fame but the act of calling cops is correct in context of those screams. If you’re ever assaulted at home, by stranger or man you know, how will you scream to differentiate? Will you have the wherewithal to specify assault?
-
We’ll have to agree to disagree. The couple and the police both seem to think it wasn’t a case of domestic abuse, but obviously you know better.

You realise most victims of DV lie to police when questioned in such circumstances? No-one knows the full circumstances but someone screaming ‘get off me’ is enough to warrant intervention. Denying that is just obscene
-
If heard my neighbours shouting I wouldn’t call the police, but if I heard someone screaming ‘get off me’, & then things smashing, I’d definitely call them. Politics is so polarised in the UK that many people are happy to defend ‘their side’, in any circumstances...

Ah right, it was more likely not to have been assault. So unless you’re ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN it was assault then don’t call the police!? That right Julia?

I am married and never has crockery or glass been thrown and smashed during an argument, yet for some reason you think that’s an entirely normal aspect of any relationship

We heard a v similar row with our neighbors a couple of year ago. Mainly her shouting / screaming. We called the police, unsure what to do. They arrived. Followed by an ambulance. She’d been beaten black and blue; truly horrific. So no, you wouldn’t “know” Julia.

If she was throwing crockery, might he or herself still not of been in danger ? Grabbing someone to "placate them", is still an assault if they have indicated they do not wish to be restrained ...

But still. Best to get it checked out, don't you think? As we weren't, you know, in the room to verify. Please lets live in a world where we care about others, not assume, despite evidence to the contrary, that it must just be a row. How do you think domestic violence starts?

Absurd that after complaining about him not caring for money, she then broke her own crockery! Run, Boris, run! Mrs Wheeler, please, would you get your man back to safety!

Can you please confirm the correct words to use when you want someone to get off you, if "Get off me!" doesn't cover it? I'll make a note of it in case I'm ever assaulted and don't want to give the neighbours the wrong idea.

It’s hard to tell. That fat fuck won’t answer anyone’s questions about anything lately. Still, my question is how do you still have a job with all the guff you peddle?
