British home secretary under fire for making joke about date rape drug

British Home Secretary James Cleverly faces criticism for joking about date rape just hours after announcing plans to crack down on the offense. Cleverly reportedly made the joke at a reception at the prime minister's home, saying that the secret to a long marriage is drugging his wife with a little bit of Rohypnol. Cleverly apologized for the comment, which he described as an ironic joke, but women's rights groups called for his resignation. The government plans to update legislation to declare drink spiking illegal.
