True story.

DS probably deserved it because he called GB a cunt.

If you don't know who GB is check him out on google.

Probably not but at least he challenged him.
GB thinks saying 'bongo bongo land' isn't racist and Tommy Robinson is a good egg.

I thought you meant "Mr. Bloom". Blush

MisterMinsterMonster · 07/08/2018 22:09

I haven't defended ds's use of the word cunt and told ds that he should have been cleverer than that.

But if you stated that women of child bearing age shouldn't be employed; if you called women sluts; if you explained that trafficked and beaten prostitutes 'liked it' among many many other gems, ds feels that you would deserve it.

And an ex-politician kicking someone up the arse is a dignified and judicious one?

Theworldisfullofgs · 07/08/2018 22:11

By the way if you try to have an intelligent debate with Godfrey he hits you with a brochure.

Personally I'd save my intelligent debate for intelligent people.

SneakyGremlins · 07/08/2018 22:13

I've just read up on his Wikipedia. Holy fuck.

dementedma · 07/08/2018 22:14

I've never even heard of Godfrey Bloom but love the way the Ops DS uses verbal abuse until his victim turns out to be able to defend himself physically, then the DS runs away leaves.
they sound as bad as each other

Silentnighttwo · 07/08/2018 22:15

I’d be Blush. Could your DS not think of something (anything!) more eloquent to say?

ASliceOfArcticRoll · 07/08/2018 22:16

Not being related to him or even knowing him I don't care what your son feels and if I had heard him swearing like that I'd have judged him a low life misogynist. Because in real adult life you get judged by your actions and your speech - ot what you tell your Mum in the house.

youarenot · 07/08/2018 22:16

I'm wondering how old this DS is...

OfaFrenchmind2 · 07/08/2018 22:17

Well, frankly there were two cunts in this story.

ToeToToe · 07/08/2018 22:17

Godfrey bloom is horrific. Horrific man, horrific politics.

Did he really kick your ds up the bum - for something said to him? It wouldn't surprise me at all.

UKIP are a horrendous party. GB is the worst type of "politician" who was given credence by the existence of a party like UKIP. I'm so glad they're on their way out - although I'm not too chuffed at the reasons they are now considered an irrelevance to UK politics Hmm

Figlessfig · 07/08/2018 22:18

Oooh, well done, DS. Good lad.

Cuppaorwine · 07/08/2018 22:18

Two nasty men indulging in childish idiocy and one getting his mummy to praise him on mumsnet.

Pathetic really.

longwayoff · 07/08/2018 22:21

Godfrey Bloom is a misogynistic pompous patronising misguided ukip mep
who shows small regard for the majority of his constituents. As such I think your son has been extremely moderate in expressing his contempt.

scatterolight · 07/08/2018 22:21

Well done to your son. This is exactly how you win people over to your viewpoint. Trust me on this.

murasaki · 07/08/2018 22:22

Godfrey Bloom is frequently invoked in this house re me refusing to clean behind the fridge. Himself laughs. Well done your lad.

SimonBridges · 07/08/2018 22:23

We are only assuming the son is an adult. He might be 5.

OlennasWimple · 07/08/2018 22:23

What a strange sequence of events!

I'm imagining something like the Simpsons episode where Bart is supposed to be kicked by the Australian Prime Minister to atone for saying something offensive

ShirleyPhallus · 07/08/2018 22:24

Isn’t “cunt” a misogynist term in itself?

MisterMinsterMonster · 07/08/2018 22:24

DS is 21.

I agree with those who think that ds he should have said something more astute.

Marvellous!

WellySocksBox · 07/08/2018 22:27

Godfrey Bloom have a talk at my DD's school where he told the Year 9s that the best way to learn French was to get a French Mistress.

posieperkinandpootle · 07/08/2018 22:28

I can't remember where I first got this gem from, if it was on here apologies to the poster for stealing it. Bloom is not a cunt. Cunts have warmth & depth & are useful. He is none of those things.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 07/08/2018 22:29

It’s Godfrey Bloom, I’m not sure there’s a great deal of point in saying something more astute.
