Britain’s Home Secretary apologizes for joke about spiking his wife’s drink with date-rape drug – By Sophie Tanno (CNN) / Dec 24, 2023
London CNN — Britain’s Home Secretary James Cleverly has apologized for joking about spiking his wife’s drink with a date-rape drug.
According to a report in British tabloid the Sunday Mirror, Cleverly made the joke to female guests while attending a Downing Street reception earlier this month.
According to the paper, Cleverly – a senior minister in Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative government – said that adding “a little bit of Rohypnol in her drink every night” was “not really illegal if it’s only a little bit.”
He reportedly added that the secret to a long marriage was to ensure your spouse was “someone who is always mildly sedated so she can never realise there are better men out there.”
