James Cleverly’s unpleasant turn of phrase

[ash]

Well, one of the rooms he wasn't reading was general public opinion, which is overwhelmingly that those are disgusting and completely unacceptable things to come out with, so yes.

Not if you listened to all the apologists phoning LBC this morning including a surprising number of women. However if you are phoning LBC on Xmas eve …. ?!?!

 

[Elpenor]

The defence that is a private conversation being made by Cleverley is disgusting. “Jokes” about rape are unacceptable whether the setting is private or public, and should be called out regardless.

Yep; so damning that they thought this was an acceptable response.

Yep. Also, meetings where the HS addresses journalists are not “private”, even if they are off the record.

Exactly, only reason anyone is speaking to the cunt is he’s Home Secretary. He’d do well to remember that

 

[InArduisFouette]

Doesn't the naval use of 'gash' to mean rubbish/surplus come from the French word gâché, meaning spoils/waste?

that's my understanding of and consequently flowed into other military settings the emergency services and otherp laces where SNCOs or Officers were likely to have second carrers after they hads ddone their 20 years in green/ blue

 

[singsongfun]

I used to mix in military circles

DJ in Aldershot?

DJ in Aldershot?

Love it haha

 

[singsongfun]

Aldershot is such a shit hole

 

[moochedit]

DJ in Aldershot?

He can't tell us as he'd have to kill us afterwards

You were a military chef?

 

[singsongfun]

I briefly lived in Aldershot.
It was a weird time in my life.

Smoking senior service does not count

 

[Silas Loom]

Please don’t give him an excuse to say that he is no ordinary chef.

 

[singsongfun]

I was never in the military.

 

[existentialist]

I used to live in Woking. It was amusing watching the redcaps rounding up blind drunk squaddies on the weekend. Not so amusing dodging said pissed up squaddies.

 

[Dystopiary]

How do you know?

Not surprising.

The "in private" bit almost makes it worse. After all, what people say or do in private is often a truer reflection of that person. As for the "ironic joke" bit, how the fuck is that ironic? Does Cleverly know what ironic even means? I doubt it, the thick cunt. Irony is abolutely not about saying something appalling, misogynist, racist, etc but then getting a free pass because it was "ironic".

That arsehole Cleverly needs a serious battering.

What he needs is to go for a drink and wake up the following morning, terrified, in a doorway, with no recollection of how he got there. Perhaps that might prompt a bit of empathy for victims of drink spiking, because he clearly has none.

And that would indeed be ironic.

You want to batter Cleverly’s arsehole?

Deep fried? Why not!

A hate fuck!

 

[Silas Loom]

How about we don’t add stuff about “hate fucks” and anecdotes about Thai sex workers to the thread which is there to document Cleverly’s deplorable misogyny?

And please don't tag me with this rubbish.

Irony is meaning the opposite of what you say.
