Her position is probably untenable because of the baying for blood going on.
But for goodness sakes, the age of taking offence is getting ridiculous.
Of course her comment was wrong, but it was fairly clear what she meant. She spoke without thinking and then continued to dig herself a hole. But now the emotive comments are pouring out from those who have suddenly seen an opportunity to be traumatised.
The media will never let it go; 10 years from now any story involving her will be reported as "Karen Bradley, who once said...."
It's all too ridiculous for words.
As for the Amber Rudd comment, worse. Way to pick out one word and ignore the message. How delicate can people be that they can ignore someone supportive of their position and the challenges they face and pick on one word.
How much longer will this sensitivity and offence taking be tolerated?
