Ex-minister Edwina Currie tells ‘idiot’ anti-masker to ‘try being f***ed in the a** by your girlfriend’
EX-minister Edwina Currie has told an "idiot" anti-masker to "try being f***ed in the a** by your girlfriend" after he mocked men wearing face coverings.
The former Conservative MP was responding to far-right YouTuber Paul Joseph Watson when she offered up the advice.
The 38-year-old wrote on Twitter: "The closer you get to central London, the more people wear masks.
"Even outside. What does that say about people who live in central London?
"Literally no man who proudly wears a mask has not also been f***ed in their own a** by their girlfriend (reluctantly on her part).
"Basically, if you’re a man who wears a mask, you’re broadcasting the fact that you have been f***ed in the a** by your girlfriend. And that is not something to be proud of."
'TRY IT'
Ms Currie, 73, who is known for being outspoken replied "Idiot. Try it, you might enjoy it."
Her reply sparked jokes on social media as Twitter-users referred to her affair with former Prime Minister John Major.
In 2002 Ms Currie revealed the pair had had an affair between 1984 and 1988 while both were married to other people.
She admitted to being in love with him for years after and described him as the "love of her life" while Mr Major released a statement saying he was ashamed of the affair.
Anti-masker Watson replied four hours later saying "No thanks, salmonella woman"; referring to her forced resignation in December 1988, after she issued a warning about salmonella in British eggs.
Twitter users were less impressed with his come back with one saying: "That’s quite possibly the worst reply/ comeback/ burn I’ve ever seen."

Another added: "It took you four hours to come up with this?"
And a third said : "Hey 1972 called - they want their opinions back."
Ms Currie then declined to write an opinion article about the comments, and said that her tweet "speaks for itself."
