I literally have no idea what that even means.
But he’s most definitely under your skin.
Child?
It means you, amongst many people, are so bewitched by him that you will happily turn a blind eye to the most egregious piss-taking in public office.
Just like @Klopptimist. Apparently can’t stand Johnson. Course he does. 
Since always. The Prime Ministers finances are always a matter of public interest. Especially, as in the case of Johnson, the Prime Minister can’t help dragging his office into his attempts to repair them.
Let’s just recap.
Sharp helped the Prime Minister source an £800,000 pound loan and was then appointed to the position of BBC Chair, despite a history of campaigning to abolish it.
And people are arguing it’s a private matter? What in the name of fuck has happened to us?
You might be familiar with a small thing in law. And as you like capitals, just for your.
INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
He’s an absolute clown of a man, and a horrific politician.
But that doesn’t mean he gets battered for absolutely everything by you amongst many in the fucking Arthur Scargill brigade.
Except it does.
How about “child”.
Why is it neccessary to use any other word.

When I was small, I was always called ‘Sprog’ by my old fella… He always said it was meant as a term of endearment… :0)
I’ve already argued this out , but for one last time ; If people cannot see how an undisclosed loan of £800,000 from an unknown source to the Prime Minister in return for a political appointment isn’t a matter of public interest and a cause of serious concern , then they are either saying they care not about propriety in public office nor the laws of the land (this loan should have been declared) or they are just as amoral as the man we are talking about.

Billy Connelly and Sean Connery spring to mind
But no, let’s spend fucking ages arguing what the correct term for a child born as a result of an affair is.
No, but it also means that when he gets a £800,000 arranged by a man who is later appointed to the chairmanship of the BBC, he doesn’t automatically get the benefit of the doubt.
He’s like a bloody wizard, the spell he’s cast on some of you.
Wanting a reasonable standard of accountabiyy in public life and a degree of freedom from corruption, doesn’t make you part of the Arthur Scargill brigade.
Yes, I’m sure it was all above board. After all, this is Boris Johnson we’re talking about.
You realise it’s deeply offensive to use the wrong term for somebody? You have no idea how offensive it could be.
Irony.

We are not “spending fucking ages” arguing this.
You are getting it wrong, and should really concede that they are not illegitimate and acknowledge that the term is fucking insulting.
Nothing to do with loans, Tories, Boris etc etc.
I am surprised that you cannot see this.
I have already apologised for using that term.
Quite a few of you here gleefully playing the man not the ball.
You continued it as well.
And please dont include me in playing the man, not the ball.
I couldn’t give a fuck about the other elements of this discussion.
But using a childs birth status in this discussion is out of order.
In case there is any doubt about this, I apologise for using the term ‘illegitimate children’ to those of you offended by this. I’m happy to learn from that.
Now, I understand that to some of you it’s more important to get one over on me than talk about the impact of Government on the BBC, but if we can get back to that.

Is it public knowledge how many children Boris Johnson actually has or fathered? I thought he was very tight lipped about that.
I don’t think Johnson is certain. I’m assuming he knows how many he is paying maintenance for.
Johnson is a sleaze bag. He has undermined the gravitas, and importance, of the office he held. He dispenses political favors for cash. That’s the egregious thing, politically. There are standards he is simply not upholding. And commenting on his personal life would ordinarily be out of bounds, but because it is such a train wreck, and intimately connected with his need for cash and doling out favors, it is fair game to comment, especially as he is a public figure.
As for the kids themselves, God bless them all, and I hope they all turn out as decent human beings and so on.
But it won’t be on account of their twat of a father.

Once upon a time the Conservative Party had sensible, statesmanlike figures who would have quietly kept Johnson away from the party leadership. Hey ho.
