Angry God Almighty, imagine having given birth to that, I'd be horrified.

I’m sure his wife/husband/whatever is very impressed. And his kids if he has any.

Fucking hell. And he's a BBC radio presenter as well.

I assumed when I read the quote he was from an older generation. Terrible ageist assumption on my part but I couldn't imagine a younger man would be capable of such a remark. More fool me.

This makes me want to cry.

It’s utterly disgusting. And yet people are still cheering him on, I honestly despair.

Do you not think he may have altered his opinions in the 5 years since this article was published?

Lilimoon · 06/11/2019 11:10

No Veni I don't think such a disgusting attitude is likely to ever change.

MustardScreams · 06/11/2019 11:11

Does it matter? He’s still basically blamed women for being raped, I don’t care how much time has passed.

He’s also only just announced his standing for MP. Things like this shouldn’t be forgotten about, just because it was a few years ago.

It may have been 5 years ago but he was a grown man not some daft teenager when he said it.

So, for example, people like Nikita Biggs and members of the Qwilliam Foundation should be condemned for all times?

Has he? That would be encouraging to see.

Men; if you think you will get ''carried away'', ''lose control'' and ''can't help yourself'' try this top tip;
Imagine your Mum walks in and shrieks ''what are you doing''.
You will become flaccid in microseconds and voila, no rape charges.

The scum has stepped down. One tiny little victory for women everywhere.
