Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
British Home Secretary Cleverly called his wife a sustained marriage at an event. After the remarks were made by the United Kingdom, a Cleverly spokesman said he apologized for it.
The British "Guardian" reported that the British Home Office recently announced a plan to crack down on the next **, that is, to put ** into the other party's drink or directly into the body without the victim's knowledge or consent.
Hours after the plan was announced, Home Secretary Cleverly made the remarks at a reception in Downing Street. The Guardian quoted the Sunday Mirror as saying that Cleverly told the female guests in the room that "she [the wife] adds a little bit of rohypnol (also known as flunitrazepam) to her [wife's] drink every night". He added: "If it's just a little bit, it's not illegal. ”
Loampnol is a mildly strong pre-anesthetic and sleeping pill.
Cleverly also laughs and says that the secret to a long marriage is to make sure the spouse is "always lightly sedated so that she never realizes there is a better man out there."
Conversations at Downing Street receptions are usually "off the record," but given Cleverly's position and the subject of his remarks, the Sunday Mirror decided to break with that convention.
A spokesman for the Home Secretary defended himself: "James [Cleverly] made an apparently ironic joke when dealing with a pointed issue in what people had always thought to be a private conversation – for which he apologised." ”
In the past two or three years, there have been frequent incidents of violence and crime against women in the UK, and the injection of **, which is mostly in nightclubs, is very rampant, which has led to a large number of young women being victimized.
Senior Labour Party criticised Cleverly's remarks as "shocking". Alex D**ies-Jones, the shadow minister for domestic violence and safeguards, said that "it's a joke" was already the most common excuse and no one would buy it.
If the Minister of the Interior is serious about tackling abuse** and violence against women and girls, a comprehensive cultural change is needed. The 'banter' must stop, it must start at the top. ”
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: "Underwriting is a disturbing, serious crime that has a devastating impact on the lives of young women. On the same day that the new crackdown policy was announced, it was unbelievable that the Minister of the Interior made such a shocking joke. ”
The ministers pledged to modernise the language used in legislation to make it clear that the use of ** is a criminal offence and announced a series of other measures as part of the crackdown, but did not establish specific offences for the next ** act.
