This was twice the length of the average marriage in England and Wales, where there are 64 divorces each year for every 100 marriages. The highly visible

role of Britain’s national leaders has generally meant they are held, however anachronis­tically, to a somewhat different standard.

“It is difficult for him to walk into Downing Street with another woman when you are still technicall­y married to someone else. That would be considered

indiscreet,” said Nicholas Allen, lecturer in politics at London’s Royal Holloway University, before Symonds joined Johnson in his official residence on Monday, July 29. At 31 she is the youngest partner of a prime minister in 173 years. By moving in together unmarried, they did something that the vast majority of committed couples do in Britain these days. Only two of Britain’s 54 prime ministers since 1721 have been divorced, and only Augustus Henry FitzRoy, premier from 1768 to 1770, has remarried in office. Since the end of World War Two, the only single prime minister has been Edward Heath, who served from 1970 to 1974, and never married. Yet Johnson’s marital status was not, in fact, an issue in the leadership contest. The fact that he was elected by members of a party who generally hold traditiona­l views on family matters was testament to that. “I think personal lives are personal lives and we live in the modern age,” party member Angus West, 53, said at a hustings. “Boris has a colorful private life. But there have been plenty of other prime ministers who have had colorful private lives.” Dnes se zaměříme na sloveso s předponou, které se vyskytlo ve větě „… premier from 1768 to 1770, has remarried in office.“(„… premiér od 1768 do 1770, se znovu oženil v době výkonu funkce. “). S předponami tvořícími opaky slov jsme se již setkali. Předpona repatří k těm, které mění význam při zachování kořene slova. Takových předpon je mnoho, jmenujme alespoň re- (znovu), over- (příliš mnoho), under- (příliš málo), mis(špatně), co- (spolu), countermar­ital status (rodinný) stav
