Leo Varadkar

He actually made a funny, people laughed.

Varadkar denigrating women now.

TAOISEACH Leo Varadkar has apologised after making a joke that was a clear reference to Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Mr Varadkar told an American audience that he was a Washington intern “when some parents would have had cause for concern about what would happen to interns in Washington"

Im sure parents would have concern for what happens to their 21 year olds in the George too.

[carryharry]

There is a sad homophobic tone to lads who dislike Leo.

Its stones and glass houses Harry.

There’s a few right homophobes on TFK

[carryharry]

It’s not.

[johnnysachs]

Was he not caught on camera with some young fella hardly a matter of months ago? He has a long term partner himself. He is leader of the country. How is it different?

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

It’s different because he’s in an open relationship. His partner was with him that night. How many times do people have to be told this?

It also wasn’t at The George

Your comment smacks of homophobia, even if you didn’t intend it to.

By the way, Varadkar’s comment was beyond stupid. I’m not arguing with that.

[habanerocat]

This is pure harmless in my opinion.

Shifting a lad in public, being in an open relationship actually makes it worse. What example is he setting for the youth of today. He should have got the boot for that.

[johnnysachs]

They most certainly weren’t intended to be. Its his self righteousness on display. I am happy to walk back my comments not knowing the nuances of his relationship. Clintons actions were also different because of power imbalance and working relationship.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Disagree completely.

I don’t understand open relationships but I’m not going to condemn people in then either. I’d a few German students and the two of them were talking about polyamory and being in relationships with multiple partners. I found it bizarre but then realised I’m twice their age and they probably found my concept of what a relationship is to be old fashioned or something.

The youth of today don’t give a fuck about our traditions or ways of doing things. They probably have more time for him now

Fair play.

And yes, we both agree that his comments were fucking ridiculous (and embarrassing as fuck)

doing the dirt on their partner

But he wasn’t

[habanerocat]

I find the moral standards of the youth of today pretty good, especially in relation to marriage and bringing up children. It’s important to set example for the younger ones coming up.

It’s posted higher up here that gays have less moral standards. But that doesn’t mean they should have a free pass in public.
