Carrie meets the in-laws! Boris Johnson's ex-Tory aide girlfriend, 30, joins his father Stanley at a protest against Japanese whaling after the ex-Foreign Minister slammed the 'brutal and barbaric' practice
- Carrie Symonds, 30, was spotted stepping out of her plush flat as she headed to a protest in central London
- She was photographed with Mr Johnson's father, Stanley, at the Protest Against Japanese Whaling event
- The former Foreign Secretary last month condemned the practice of whaling as 'brutal' and 'barbaric'
Boris Johnson's ex-Tory aide girlfriend Carrie Symonds was with the former Foreign Secretary's father at an anti-whaling protest in central London today.
The 30-year-old was wrapped up warm as she headed out of her million-pound home to attend the Protest Against Japanese Whaling demonstration outside the Japanese Embassy on Saturday.
The former Foreign Minister condemned the practice as 'brutal' and 'barbaric' when it emerged Japan had withdrawn from the International Whaling Commission last month.
Ms Symonds was photographed with Mr Johnson's father, Stanley, at the busy protest.
She was later photographed holding a Conservation Animal Welfare Foundation sign which read 'END WHALING' outside the Japanese Embassy in central London.
Ms Symonds spoke to condemn whale hunts during the demonstration which began at 12pm.
She said: 'I've heard all sorts of ridiculous reasons in an attempt to try and justify the hunt of whales.
'The top one "it's tradition". The truth is there can be no good reason to resume commercial whaling.
'We've all seen pictures of the sea turned red with blood. It's cruel beyond belief'.
The ex-Tory aide had tweeted about her involvement in the event earlier in the week. She wrote: 'Tomorrow is the big day: our march against Japanese whaling. Kicks off: 12pm @ Cavendish Square.
'I will be there and speaking too. Do come and join. Let's send a message and show we care.'
