Margaret Hodge lawyers up

I’ve read your first one - your comment is a massive misrepresentation, she didn’t work hard to obstruct justice, they say that claims weren’t investigated - we don’t know why and there is no evidence she was running a campaign to obstruct justice.

'Why is this thread on the feminism section? there is nothing remotely feminist or inspiring about Margaret Hodge.'

Because feminism is about equality for all women not just the inspiring ones.

For starters:

I've searched through 4 pages of results rhythm so whatever you're saying it doesn't amount to her deliberately working hard to obstruct child abuse cases.

It isn't a 'vicious slur'; it's been proven many times over. Hodge even 'apologised' for it. Look it up in the Times, The Guardian, the BBC or the Independent and read all about it. Oh and while you are at it perhaps you'd also like to read about how her family profits from shares in offshore tax havens she herself has criticised in the past. It's really quite an achievement, getting to where she is after her catalogue of corruption and sleaze.

Evidence of her obstructing child abuse allegations rhythm? You can’t spout stuff like that without citing evidence as it’s a vicious slur.

I think the code they want adopting sounded like a version of the Yogyakarta Treaty, that nearly makes it impossible to criticise the Israeli govt. and their systematic erasure and cruel treatment of the Palestinians for years and years. I've been to the Gaza Strip a number of years ago and it was a concentration camp even back then, with the Israelis controlling water, power, borders, passports etc.

To me, the Palestinians could be women in 50 years time.

I'm becoming more of a free speech advocate than trying to impose more fucking political correctness.

Time for Maximus Keirus Starmerus to assemble the Praetorian Guard, I feel.

With a yellow duck.

I would posit that McDonnell's balls are hanging as low as Corbyns' now. They may well play with them in the bath.

That's true, Pilar. McDonnell strikes me as one of the scariest of the Bromentum goons - utterly doctrinaire, authoritarian, divorced from reality and nasty with it. The thought of him in government scares the shit out of me.

McDonnell is in complete cloud cuckoo land if he doesn't understand this.

I think he must know that she won't back down. He is saying it so he can appear magnanimous.

More hollow laughter from over here. What planet is McDonnell on if he thinks Margaret Hodge is going to back down on this one? I reckon she's got bigger ovaries than he has balls, and it's a matter of principle, and it's a matter of her whole heritage (and the fact that I think it was 5 out of 6 of her father's family died in concentration camps). McDonnell is in complete cloud cuckoo land if he doesn't understand this.

The Labour Party who only tolerate women who do what they're told? The Tories who are purposefully hurting low income women and mothers through ideologically driven cuts? The Lib Dems who want to promote prostitution as a career choice in school and lower the age to appear in porn to 16? Or perhaps the Greens who have decided we're non-men?

You forgot the Women’s Equality Party. But let’s not even go there.

That certain age was 30 and the woman had to be married.

Obviously this is no longer the case but how many of you on this forum feel like 'women of a certain age'?

Just get lost the both of ye. McDonnell and Corbyn.

Always McDonnell who is clearing up the mess. He's the shadow chancellor and should be speaking out now about the mess that is Brexit.

Limp biscuits the pair of them. I say this as a life long Labour supporter who no longer feels enfranchised despite the 100th anniversary of women of a certain age getting the vote.

Little has changed.

Popchyk that article does not improve my opinion of this mess. “The poor little women misunderstood what us men was saying, if she apologises then we will magnanimously overlook her hysterical indiscretion”.

Regardless of Margaret Hodges character and the substance, or lack of, behind the ‘allegations’, that letter and the accompanying media briefing is a damning insight into the running of the Labour Party.

I despise Margaret Hodge. The manner in which she has been reinvented is staggering. Google 'Margaret Hodge childrens homes Islington' to see what she is really like. Her lack of action has been directly responsible for so much pain and suffering.

You would also see Corbyn's name come up, with information about how he not only failed to act when begged for help but also spoke out in parliament against the inquiry.

This is where we are. In 2018.
