James Cleverly: He was once described as “the Tories’ go-to eejit when they need someone to tweet absolute nonsense or defend the indefensible”. He has excelled himself this time.

I can’t say this came as a shock.

James Cleverly – currently the Conservative government’s Home Secretary, here in the UK; the minister responsible for the police and law enforcement – has apparently joked that spiking his wife with “a little bit of Rohypnol” – the illegal date-rape drug – was “not really illegal if it’s only a little bit”.

He allegedly went on to say that he constantly drugs his wife to ensure she doesn’t run off with someone else:

Who would blame her if she did run off with someone else?

His comment clarifies what some of us have believed about Tories for a considerable amount of time; that they don’t understand how the law is supposed to apply to all of us, equally, all of the time.

So even though Rohypnol is very definitely totally illegal in the UK, he thinks it’s “not really”, if it’s “only a little bit”.

We should thank him for explaining that – as a Tory – he is above the law that we all have to obey.

And his wife should dump him like landfill waste. The rest of us will have to wait until the general election.
