The speech also included Mr Gove’s opinions on Margaret Thatcher’s policies, which he described as “rigorously, vigorously, virulently, virilely, heterosexual”.
He continued: “We are at last experiencing a new empire: an empire where the happy south stamps over the cruel, dirty, toothless face of the northerner.
"At last Mrs Thatcher is saying I don’t give a fig for what half of the population say because the richer half will keep me in power. This may be amoral, this may be immoral, but it’s politics and it’s pragmatism.”
Mr Gove imagined, that there was “no sound sweeter” than a young boy’s voice breaking, apart from the sound of that same boy involved in a sex act
He said that the current justice minister Lucy Frazer, who had invited him to speak, was “actually capable of tempting me into bed with her” and implied one college’s entire rugby club had had group sex with her.
He then referred to her “preference for peach-flavoured condoms,” and said she had done “remarkably well” to come from “the back streets of the slums of Leeds”.
