It’s amazing how pro-rape the Tories are. As long as the rapist isn’t targeting other male MPs.
Well that’s him probably going to be the next prime minister then give the track record of the Tories.
On one hand, it’s completely abhorrent, but on the other, if you date or marry a Tory, what do you expect?
Was his wife offended or not? Everyone else’s opinions are irrelevant.
Christ alive, how can he even think to hold office after making such a horrific remark. He is one of the most senior officials in the UK and he is just casually joking about date rape after a policy on it had come out.
He should have thought more Cleverly about what jokes to make
Making jokes about drugs that are used to rape people is not funny. It beggars belief that such low caliber people like Cleverly can reach positions of authority like Home Secretary. This is the result of electing a clown like Bojo: you get sycophants and chancers in positions of power.
How the hell are we supposed to progress as a society if youngsters see language like this used towards women by people who are supposed to be responsible and set an example? They are so dumb that they cannot see that by doing so they are normaising this kind of thing! I wonder how he’d feel if he had a daughter and somebody made the same joke in reference to her. 🤔
It was very clearly just a joke. I don’t understand why there’s this level of offence.
Even if true at this point its purely hearsay, I’m not standing up for him but by now after Yes, Minister and Thick of it, that half the time its posturing and backstabbing with tories.
It looks like people in this sub have never heard of a thing called dark humour or haven’t read the article at all.
So many pearl clutchers here, anyone getting in a state at this is clearly a humourless bore.
Fucking abhorrent. This dumb cunt needs to be kicked straight out of office. No Man should find this sort of “ironic humour” acceptable from one of their mates never mind the Home Secretary.
[Edit] Is his wife alright? Police should interview them and issue a warning to him for good measure. They can always claim they are being ironic!
Is it just me, or does this man sound and look like an absolute Thug?
It’s obviously a very stupid and dodgy joke that he shouldn’t have made.
But who among us has not made a stupid joke in private that they then later regret? I don’t like the restriction that MPs should be robots who never accidentally be a bit too edgy in their private life
Do I think James Cleverly actually spikes his wife? Obviously not. Do I think it’s a stupid joke? Yes. Do I think basically everyone who isn’t a hermit is guilty of making a joke that went too far in private? Yes
Nah this is another case of collective amnesia again: obviously people’s ears don’t work properly when James shitterly speaks.
He must have actually said “david icke wants to buy my wife a drink”.
Someone OBVIOUSLY asked him his favourite Harry Potter character, his favourite Pokémon, and his favourite kpop group and he replied:
“a little bit of Ron. Hypno. Black pink every night”
Shouldn’t the headline start “James stupidly joked…”.. Nothing is off limits for comedy, but if you are shotting jokes like that, you had better have the wit of Jimmy Carr or Frankie Boyle.

They always tell on themselves eventually.
This is the kind of idea he thinks is funny

[James Cleverly’s sense of humor may be questionable, but let’s not forget that laughter is the best medicine. Speaking of medicine, did you know that the world’s oldest known prescription is over 4,000 years old? Talk about ancient remedies!](https://cliprecaps.com/read/?v=HC-fs0xPO7U&pp=ygU_SmFtZXMgQ2xldmVybHkgam9rZWQgYWJvdXQgZ2l2aW5nIHdpZmUgZGF0ZS1yYXBlIGRydWcgYWZ0ZXIgbmV3)
