    Toby Young's track record setting up & supporting free schools speaks for itself. His decision to stand down from the OfS board and repeat unreserved apologies for inappropriate past remarks reflects his character better than the one-sided caricature from his armchair critics.

        Maybe Jo, it also shows young men that there are things women no longer accept, and that high office must have high standards.

        His previous comments show his character. It is an unpleasant one.

        You mean that he likes breasts? That's literally all his tweets said.

        Seriously? Isn't there a time and a place for just saying, 'sorry, we got this one wrong'?

        Armchair critics? That pretty much tell us everything we need to know about the contempt with which you see HE professionals, the 200k plus people who signed that petition, and in general the need to respect the disabled, the disadvantaged, and women.

        It still leaves a question about your judgement - you knew what he was like and defended him throughout!

        His character was defined by his Twitter feed, not his ‘armchair critics’. Stronger to admit a bad decision than to continue to defend it

        Armchair critics and a considerable number of MPs you mean? Including a fair few on your own side. Oh? You forgot to mention that? What the hell is wrong with you people that you're pathologically incapable of acknowledging a mistake or saying sorry?
