It also pisses my off that there's umbrage that it was a private reception and the Mirror "broke convention" by reporting it. As if that makes it OK.
WTAFM
BROKE CONVENTION?
I guess racist jokes are also fine if said to people who are unlikely to repeat them, or maybe proposals for engagingnin criminal activity?
Have you considered stupidity as an explanation

Yes, spokesperson for Home Sec says it was supposed to be a private conversation, as if that somehow makes it OK. It wouldn't be OK if he'd just said it to one old mate in their home after a few drinks. There's nothing about it that is OK, ironic or even faintly amusing. Fecking hell.
