Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Spymaster]

Really, really don’t give a shit.

Neither would anyone else if he'd just said sorry. By going back in and telling blatant porkies he's amplified this a thousandfold.

Only those cunts - not those cunts. And Gromit.

Gromit? What a fucking cunt that cunt is.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Tory minister David Mundell was caught on camera last year calling Yvette Cooper a stupid bitch, and as far as I can tell no-one here gave much of a shit.

Tories behaving like boorish, misogynistic dinosaurs is hardly news is it?

David Cameron didn't say sorry for killing thousands in an unjustified war and you think Corbyn will say sorry for telling it as it is?

 

[SpookyFrank]

Ah, another witch hunt

Could easily be a bitch hunt tbf.

That's because nobody knew who the fuck Mundell was or gave a fuck who Cooper was. Here you have the leader of the oppo punting a misogynist insult at the Prime Minister, then lying about it. That ratchets up the stakes a bit.

I seriously disagree that stupid woman is in itself a misogynistic expression. Using a gendered insult like bitch or cow, yes definitely. But woman isn't an insult. I get that it would all have been better if he'd visibly muttered stupid fuckwit or something else gender neutral, but I think this is where I realise I'm getting old

 

[Supine]

Should have said stupid racist treasonous control freak and not mentioned gender.

 

[killer b]

how about that time David Cameron told Angela Eagle to 'calm down dear' then? Distinct lack of outrage here as far as I can tell.

I refer the honourable member to the comment I made earlier

Say it on here to a couple of women and see how you get on.

 

[mojo pixy]

Well yeah. But Urban75 is special.

 

[Gromit]

Saying stupid woman or man is sexist if the meaning is that the person is stupid because they are of that sex.

But that's not the only possible meaning.
The other usage is "that person is stupid, which person?, Not that one but the other one, I could refer to them by name or description but as out of the two that just spoke one was a woman and one was a man I think you'll know who I mean if I just use the most obvious separator."

But people love to play the sorely put upon victim and always go for the interpretation that allows them that whilst denying the possibility of the other more regular usage.

It's all irrelevant as far as Corbyn. He said people.

 

[Gromit]

Special needs.

Fuck off Gromit

I can't remember that but there've been a lot of references to it today on radio phone-ins from desperate Corbinistas. He should have been slaughtered for it. But if you could free your head from Jezza's ringpiece just for long enough to allow some blood to your brain, you'd realise that whatever anyone else has said or done, and whether or not equal outrage was caused, isn't the point. Your buddy has fucked up. If he'd owned it honestly it would have gone away but he's made it worse by bullshitting.

Mate, I was just replying to your post where you claimed we'd be outraged if this was done by a tory with two examples where it was and no-one cared. I'm not interested in making comparisons - that was you.

Fair enough but you're comparing apples with go carts. The two currently most famous politicians in the land during PMQs at a time when the commons are arguably under more scrutiny than at any other since the war, versus comments that barely registered at the time because few were aware of.

That's bollocks though - the calm down dear incident was in the news. Cameron was roasted for it. Just not here.

 

[mojo pixy]

As mentioned above and elsewhere though, nobody cares when some tory comes out with toxic shite because it's expected of them. When someone considered more or less right on does it, then there's a storm.

Ok, I'll take your word for it because I can't remember but if the tories were in opposition right now and Boris said that to Prime Minister Diane Abbot , it would have a thread of its own on here!

Deny that and I'll be reaching for the Jimmy Hill pics again

Diane Abbott more likely to be pm than bj leader of the tories

I admit I haven't read the whole thread, it's old & 10 pages long...

David Cameron has accused socialists of lacking a sense of humour in the wake of the row over his "calm down, dear" comment to a female Labour MP.

David Cameron: socialists have no sense of humour

And, post 17 from you...

what an awful shit that david cameron is. each day brings a new way for me to hate him - it's like the prime minister of the country is a 14 year old playground bully.

 

[Spymaster]

So I was right. It got its own 10 page thread!

You have much more honed searching skills than me.

It wasn't difficult TBH - I just put 'Cameron calm down dear' in search & up it popped.

 

[two sheds]

I used to have a tens machine for back pain. Yes, a slow trickle electric shock, but slightly numbing. Reminds me of reading your posts.

Everyone I know who's had one of those tried sticking the electrodes across their knee or elbow while saying "I wonder whether ...".

I did that too and got fuck all!
