Do you call people 'cunt' at your workplace?

Oh please, people say all sorts when they think they’re out of earshot. He didn’t sit behind a news desk announcing Barker is a cunt.

If you’re that delicate you probably just shouldn’t be around other adults.

He didn't say it to his face. It was not broadcast on TV. It was caught unbeknownst to him on a newspaper live feed of downing street.

Telegraph political editor:
Tory minister - who is publicly very loyal to Truss - says it's over

Well I should fucking hope so. How is it even up for debate?!This is fucking mortifying

I wonder what the rest of the world is saying 🍿😂

Morceaux · 19/10/2022 21:32

Imagine, with all that’s going on in the country, being upset because a journalist was overheard saying a naughty word about a politician.

Beyond pathetic.

I'm a farmer. I hear all sorts. But farmers aren't Ch 4 journalists

That'll be Penny Mordaunt, waiting in the wings? Awful person. So dishonest.

where are you all watching these scenes of chaos? where can I catch up?

A cunt is a cunt is a cunt. Wherever it is. Steve Baker is a cunt.

This is true.

And lol at the pearl clutching over a word said when cameras were off, when the Tories have metaphorically fucked us all in broad daylight for the past 12 years

The whatabouttery from those fuckers is ridiculous

LadyWithLapdog · 19/10/2022 21:35

Fancy being upset by a word said out of earshot towards a well deserved target. When the Tories have been fucking up the country every which way for the past 12 years.

@GreenLunchBox great minds and all that :)

What if he'd said it about Liz Truss...Jess Phillips...Harriet harman? Ok?

MumofHorace · 19/10/2022 21:39

The world has gone utterly mad. Are we sure there hasn’t been a mass drugging or something? Has anyone tested the beer taps in the House of Commons bars for illegal substances?

BirmaBrite · 19/10/2022 21:39

It does always annoy me that the 'worst' swear word in the UK is linked to a womens genitals. And its such a harmless little sounding word really, like punt or blunt or hunt Wink

LadyWithLapdog · 19/10/2022 21:39

@derxa your point being? He didn’t say it. Let’s talk when he does.

Blossomtoes · 19/10/2022 21:40

Liz Truss - absolutely fine. Harman and Philips have never given him any reason to say it. Bloody spot on in Baker’s case.

Tegelflughafen · 19/10/2022 21:40

Get off your high horse @derxa. He's apologised even though it happened off air but the behaviour of the tory party has been abysmal over the last 12 years. Far more
lives have been destroyed by their actions, real lives, not feigned pearl clutching by a deceitful brexiteer who claims he is 'strong man' Steve Baker 🙄

BirmaBrite · 19/10/2022 21:40

Better off checking the toilets ?

Lonelycrab · 19/10/2022 21:40

Guru Murthy's impartiality is wafer thin

Kuenssberg?

Shock horror: journalists are human beings, that actually have their own opinions!

If it’s a mixing/editing error and they’ve caught him thinking out loud, it’s not really here nor there.

I remember when there were reports of the high levels of cocaine found in the Thames around Westminster 😂

If that’s what he thinks about them and is confident he’s off air then yes. What’s with the thought police act?

Lonelycrab · 19/10/2022 21:45

Well maybe write some emails and try get the vision/audio mixer sacked?😐

Its unfortunate that you were subjected to hearing KGM talking in an impolite way. Hope you’re not feeling too bad about it tmro.

Igotjelly · 19/10/2022 21:45

@derxa nothing you say will take away from the fact that the Tory party are a shit show and he was spot on. He didn’t think his words were being broadcast therefore your point is mute.
