I'm old school. I try not to swear in public and especially around women or kids
( unless at the footy) I'd personally never wear any sort of shirt with the words f**k on it. It's if poor taste of ask me.
I don't disagree, it is in poor taste.
But I also don't think decorum is the be all and end all of human endeavour, so a t-shirt worn in protest at an opportune moment isn't worth getting all excited about.
Free speech? What was she talking about in her speech at this event? Did she give a speech? All I know is she turned up to an event hosted by the leader of her country in a f**king T-shirt (a T-shirt FFS!)
The T-shirt is the speech mate. Call it freedom of political expression if you want to dance around with semantics. Do you think what she was saying was unclear?
a f**king T-shirt (a T-shirt FFS!) emblazoned with the the word f**k on it in full view of those attending as well as the media covering it.
Well that's kind of the point, no point protesting in your f**king lounge room in your PJ's, won't get too much engagement there.
Put the sentiment aside for a moment and just try and show a modicum of class for everyone else in attendance...
I doubt too many folks there gave as much of a f**k as you seem to, though I'm certain there's been a fair whack of faux outrage since.
Like I said, it's not like she hasn't plenty of form in this space, and I'm pretty certain the dept of PM would be well aware of that, and would have at the least half expected some kind of stunt. If they didn't want it, don't invite it.
