This was a Twitter comment in 2016, BBC News - UKIP candidate's Jess Phillips rape 'joke' to be investigated [Link] And the police are only just looking into it, that's the left being offended for the sake of being offended and politicizing events for personal gain. Disgusting.

Disgusting. Whilst I think it is ludicrous that Police time is being wasted on this, I struggle to grasp how the 'joke' is worthy of anything else other than utter contempt. I loathe Jess Phillips on all sorts of levels but the comment she is offended by is pretty reprehensible. Not a criminal matter but also not a positive indicator about the person who posted it either. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Originally posted by Stirlingsays I think it was fantastic and I think Sargon is fantastic as well. I wouldn't even rape you either. And more power to your opinion. But since I think the case for capital punishment is far stronger for rapists than murderers, perhaps we should agree to differ on this point.

If we have reached the stage that the negation of something becomes offensive then.....well that was his point...he was winding up the politically correct....and the awful Jess Phillips in particular.

There is context to that tweet that the media aren't interested in making known. Edited by Stirlingsays (07 May 2019 1.35pm) Agreed, it was deliberately and carefully worded to cause offence but could in no way to be construed as a threat. It was a publicity stunt from 3 years ago making the point that context and intent is important and not just "words". Something that's entirely lost (or set aside) by the mainstream media when it doesn't suit their political bias. What we should really be focusing on is why they would have any political bias in the first place. Carl Benjamin has also been highlighting the fact that apologizing for offence in the current climate is a mistake as this is just a tactic to remove people from the debate (as it's just the first step of many towards being vilified) . It's an interesting experiment if nothing else and someone has to stand up to the left's control of language and accepted narrative as it grows ever narrower.

I'm struggling with what she is getting upset about "I wouldn't even rape you" I should hope he wouldn't rape her! Are we now finding reverse psychology offensive. Or are the left choosing to be upset? [Link]

They appear to have all the attributes of success in government.
