One would be more prepared to ignore it if he didn't have 'history' when it comes to insensitive, tactless remarks.

It's the kind of throwaway black joke lots of men might make (more than women) but he should be aware there's a time and a place. However, just because it's written doesn't make it true, and there are a lot of people who want to make him look bad.

Well remembered eazybee.

What a buffoon he truly is.

He should be worrying about his partner who is pregnant.

Or am I being unfair? Has he seen Bozza lately?

Her idea of a good joke.

Yes , black humour can be great, and helps in relieving the stress of difficult situations, but there is a time and a place for these things, and perhaps someone who is Prime Minister, while working, should avoid it.

Like why I have no icing sugar and have a one year olds birthday cake to finish by 3pm......hmm

B & M have some very cheap ready mixed buttercream frosting in various flavours, GrannyLaine. And fondant icing in many colours, though that's not to everyone's taste.

Personally I’d rather our PM was competent than comedic.

It is our misfortune that he isn’t

Oh dear * grannylane* heap chocolate on the top , or Cadbury’s Chocolate flakes , or smarties....

Context is everything. With no context, the tweet is irrelevant. Easy to twist every darn thing. Can no one imagine chatting with family and coming up with something similar? Laughing and moving on? I've got better things to be thinking about. Like why I have no icing sugar and have a one year olds birthday cake to finish by 3pm......hmm

Any proof that he said it?

A post the other day told people to loosen up, that Black humour is a good thing........

He is an idiot, isn't he?

GagaJo Tue 17-Mar-20 09:40:10

What do we think?
