It sounds like the woman was being violent/unruly, while Boris was trying to calm her down.
'Unruly'? Didn't she know her place?

As to Boris being the peacemaker - you seem to have contorted an explanation for what happened out of the selected transcripts that defies the limited evidence available. To me it sounds like Boris Johnson was being an entitled, boorish twat, and throwing his considerable weight around. Nothing new there.

And of course the Guardian will look to score points off Johnson, and Corbyn, and Trump. And of course they identify with the Blairite group in the PLP as they do with the Labour Friends of Israel. The difference being that Johnson and Trump seem to thrive on liberal media attacks whilst Corbyn gets buried by them. However, it doesn't make the Guardian report wrong, or most of their commentary on what it says about our future PM.
