Just a little mild sedative daily so she never realises there are better men out there?
AIBU?

Will people please RTFT before criticising the OP.

What sort of "context" would justify this vile suggestion by the OP? Why has the thread not immediately been deleted?

James Cleverly, the Home Secretary, actually said this. This is the context.

Ah, that's MN. In days' time, people will read the initial OP, nothing else, not get the context, and post exactly the same. It gets boring after a while.

It's becoming endemic on here. I can't get over the number of posters who don't bother reading even a few posts before wading in.

He felt confident his mates would find it hilarious. That’s tells you all you need to know about tories and who they hang out with

Yes it’s fine as long as you apologise after and say ‘only joking’

MotherEarthisaTerf · 24/12/2023 09:35

cakeorwine · 24/12/2023 09:34

Do you read the news?

Even if you don’t, isn’t it obviously just a joke because it’s SO funny!

I can't believe he has not been asked to resign over this. It's beyond parody.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 24/12/2023 09:36

Tactless twat. I saw a new item about a man who was raped on a night out with a date rape drug and it’s affected him years on, others have taken their open lives over this. Date rape drugs should be banned.

I wish I had your amount of time on my hands

Bippertyboppertyboob · 24/12/2023 09:37

Ahh, the Conservatives are the gift that just keep giving.....the next General Election to Labour!

anythinginapinch · 24/12/2023 09:37

Well done the Sunday Mirror for "breaking ranks" as all other journalists there appear to be willing to turn a deaf ear to such a shitshow of a comment.

This thread is going to be an example of people who don't read the thread and just jump in.

I do wonder what the reaction was?
Awkward silence or "laughter" because a man with power had made such a "joke"

Resignation immediately please. I do not want anyone who thinks and speaks like this in a position of power in my country.

He shouldn't resign. He should be sacked. But he won't be.

Absolutely

They will probably be banned now

Bippertyboppertyboob · 24/12/2023 09:42

And to think that currently in state schools teachers are trying their hardest to break the culture of misogyny (lads being lads banter) in our young people. Great to see the people running the country are leading by example. The mind boggles.

Hello @MotherEarthisaTerf a little context is needed here as your thread was reported multiple times!

To curtail your work this Christmas Eve, please feel free to add a bbc news link in the OP if that helps Gin

MNHQ were on the ball there 😅

You’d think @mnhq would have stopped it in its tracks, not ask for “more context” about how to drug a woman.

cakeorwine · 24/12/2023 09:53

I hope he was met with stony silence from the people who heard it.
