If you think Toby Young is unfit to be on the university regulator board because he tweeted about women’s tits but you voted for Jeremy Corbyn to be PM after he took cash from Russia & Iran, and supported Hamas & the IRA, then you’re an idiot.

Sorry julia but thats not really something normal people would joke about. It's inappropriate and I'm a bit shocked you seem to be defending it.

Absolutely terrible.. you just can't defend some of the appalling things he's tweeted. And timescale its irrelevant. The fact he's demonstrated himself in that way, says everything about him. If anyone atempts to defend it, it says everything about them as well. Vile!
-
I don’t defend any of his tweets. I just don’t think they preclude him from taking the job.
-
What kind of a bubble do you live in? As someone who has hired and fired people in the field of education I can tell you that anyone with a social media history like his wouldn't get near kids or a school. No wonder he had to set his own up.

And if I made a joke like that, on a public platform (along with having the tweet history of Young) I’d lose my job, and rightly so

precisely. all which can completely disregarded for the purpose of exigency — because these people / anti-intellectual ideologues share his political beliefs. so, essentially, he can say whatever the hell he likes, as long as he keeps punching down.

Did it make you laugh?

Did Young's "joke" make you laugh? Or was it his advocation of eugenics that had you rolling in the aisles?

It's all a joke to Julia. Her whole rationale is to distort reality to fit a highly proscriptive and biased agenda that keeps the establishment status quo in place. When clarity would have the electorate up in arms, the task of her and her ilk is to keep the water muddied.

What's funny here? I fail to see anything remotely funny. Is this what Conservatives class as funny? It's abhorrent.

Wanking over kids is a very very peculiarly odd idea of humour. Don't you think some things just cross the line?

Oh well that's alright then.

He made a crude joke 9 years ago I’m not sure why he must lose his job
-
“It was nine years ago”... you make it sound like he was a naive teenager back then. He was 45. And it’s not about him losing his job, it’s why he wasn’t suitable for it in the first place.

What a miserable existence it will be when no one can make a joke or say something edgy because you will lose your job where you calling for labour mp’s to be sacked for saying much worse things on social media and not in jest ether?
-
Presumably you have evidence of them 'saying much worse things' than they wank themselves off over scenes of humanitarian disaster...

Naz shah saying that white child rapist victims should keep there mouths shut for the good of diversity ?
-
And it was not even a sick joke she actually thinks children who have been raped by Pakistani men should keep there mouths shut!!!
-
That is a good example. It was a retweet of a tweet from a parody account though, not her own words, so not sure about the claim that's definitely what she thinks. Don't think there is a hierarchy when it comes to tweets of such poor taste. Both reflect badly on the Tweeters
