"What The Duke of York should have done is marry a tough, sensible, no-nonsense woman who would have stopped him getting into these messes — like I did."

Since when has this been the responsibility of women?

He's a vile cunt - he specialises in being a vile cunt. He is also very dull and had to have Daddy ring up to get him into Cambridge/Oxford (can't remember which one) because he wasn't bright enough on his own Grin

Brasenose College, Oxford.
He apparently got a first, I wonder how on earth he managed that?!

He's been that for a long time.

And, no it's not women's job to socialise men. Men need to be responsible for their own behaviour.

wtffgs · 21/11/2019 21:38

The same way he wangled his way in, I imagine! Talentless prick!

GuyFawkesDay · 21/11/2019 21:40

And he was chosen to run some of the Government's flagship schools.

Just let that sink in.

spacepyramid · 21/11/2019 21:40

He's getting short shrift over on Twitter. Pathetic prick that he is.

He’s always been a twat of the highest order

it's not women's job to socialise men. Men need to be responsible for their own behaviour.

There are many people who think it is though. Not only are we expected to be responsible for the actions of all other women, we're also expected to be responsible for the men too.

Is Toby Young basically saying he'd be hanging around with paedophiles if he wasn't scared of how his wife would react? Like she's the one barrier to him going off and doing that? Hes a dickhead.

He's a c**! End of.

eddiemairswife · 21/11/2019 21:54

He hasn't been in the news for ages; I'd forgotten he existed. Why did you have to remind me?

thepeopleversuswork · 21/11/2019 21:59

What everyone else said.

It's that horrible approach to marriage that its a business proposition with an overbearing, status obsessed control freak wife micromanaging a husband who has been overindulged and told how clever he is by everyone since he was a toddler and consequently has never learned to curb his own impulses.

It's the bedrock upon which the British upper class marriage was founded. Yuck yuck yuck.

He’s always been a nasty small minded worm so this doesn’t shock me. I actually think that’s why he says vile stuff- to get noticed. He’s basically Katie Hopkins with a penis and a more expensive education.

Wandastartup · 21/11/2019 22:05

I was at school with his wife. I would be scared of her!

Dilkhush · 21/11/2019 22:07

He's listed in Epstein's address book, which isn't a great look given his history of mysongynistic comments.

JasonPollack · 21/11/2019 22:44

Surely what he is saying is that he would happily associate with paedophiles and sleep with coorced teenagers, if he thought he could get away with it?

Way to tell on yourself mate. Isn't he something to do with education Envy

recrudesence · 21/11/2019 22:46

Hate, hate, hate.

spacepyramid · 21/11/2019 23:10

The silence of his supporters is overwhelming. Oh, wait....

popehilarious · 21/11/2019 23:12

He's a dick and he says these things to get a reaction, which we are now all happily giving to him Grin

Womenwotlunch · 22/11/2019 00:45

I can’t stand the man.
He’s a smarmy git
