he was joking, it may not have been to everyone's taste, but it's still a joke. Can people really not say anything these days without everyone taking it literally

Oh I appreciate the humour, but joking about using a date rape drug to drug your wife isnt very becoming of a leading politician.

What next, Mary berry acting out the squating nuns joke?

bots 24-12-2023 07:43 PM

i don't have a problem with it at all. Should there be no jokes from this point forward about anything that is a bit tasteless?

No not at all, but you would expect the person making the law changes about the date rape drug to be a bit more sensible when discussing it to the press.

Its not the joke per se. (If that's your real name bots) but the person and the seriousness of his position that made it. It should never have been made, and never would have by an intelligent person.

so politicians are not allowed to have a sense of humour? I disagree, a joke is a joke is a joke

This.

If anybody has an issue with a joke then that's on them at the end of the day, there is no need to control what other people can and can't joke about.

you just don't like him. You didn't even hear the joke, just relied on a far left labour rag reporting about it.

Yes yesterday.
Became a typical Front Page.
Was also posted on the Sunak thread.

I think member Kate summed him up better than I could.
When she calked him James Stupidly.

It's a very odd thing to joke about as in any setting by a Minister in high office in government.

Had a Labour or Lib Dem MINISTER of the realm said it, the hard-line Cons would be screaming disgrace from the rooftops .

bots 25-12-2023 06:43 AM

oh, i think it was very ignorant of him to tell a joke like that, but i defend his right to joke

Oliver_W 25-12-2023 08:09 AM

Going from Cruella to Stupidly was definitely a step sideways.
