Mr Bloom is typical of an un-reconstructed individual who has not only failed to appreciate cultural changes over the last fifty years, he wants to try and act as though they don't exist.
This attitude leads to what such individuals like to refer to as 'plain speaking' - which can be translated as being offensive, without the need to acknowledge or make any apology for it.
That encapsulates Mr Bloom's most recent physical and verbal offerings.
He is entitled to his views, he is not entitled to assault journalists in the street, and he is not suited for life as a politician in the modern era.
