Would you be happy if more innocent people were sent to jail for rape?  The question was nothing more than political point scoring and Boris gave an appropriate reply. You've completely misunderstood the point I was making. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Would you be happy if more innocent people were sent to jail for rape?  I’d be very happy for more guilty people to be sent to gaol for rape. I believe I’m in the majority on this.  You carry on defending rapists. I, and the rest of the civilised portion of our society will carry on campaigning for rapists to be brought to justice.  I knew that you had slack morals. I never thought that you’d be a rape apologist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I’ve read back a few but I can’t find the bit about excusing rapists / maybe it was further down the thread / what did they say?

Time to go I think. He's lied on TV, lied in parliament, palmed of contracts for unusable PPE to his mates. Hes not going for being unfaithful to his wife - if anything it puts him odds-on for the next PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
