And he did it with the most derogatory angry expression on his face.

she's inherited a mess and nothing she negotiates

She didn’t inherit a mess- she chose to stand. She has failed to conciliate, she keeps saying ‘brexitmeansbrexit’ meaninglessly, she triggered article 50 without any plan, she called an election then barely campaigned for it. She is responsible for windrush and the hostile environment. And that’s not to mention other Tory domestic policies.
She’s stupid or nasty or both.

I think Corbyn's a total pillock, and one of the things that make most angry about the current pile of shit is that if we had a decent leader of the opposition they could wipe the floor with this useless government - indeed Labour might well have won the last election.

But I just can't get worked up over this storm in a teacup. People who are are playing into the government's hands by allowing it to be a pointless distraction from their utter incompetence.

The past few posts have it...I'm certain there is no shitty behaviour from Corbyn that his cult followers will not tolerate

I suspect that you are right.

SillySallySingsSongs · 19/12/2018 18:18

TM is whooping and making a show of herself panto-style like everything is one big joke

As do all MPs of whatever persuassion. Including the Labour front bench. That doesn't fit your narrative though does it.

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 19/12/2018 18:18

The thing that annoys me most is not the specific use of the word "woman" (which I can't get worked up about as I just do not see women as inferior to men in any way, and particularly not to someone like Corbyn), but the fact that he SO CLEARLY said "woman," not "people" and yet came back and insulted us all, men and women, by blatantly lying about it.

sunshineNdaisies · 19/12/2018 18:18

haven't RTFT but I'm deaf and a lipreader and he clearly says 'woman' and not 'people'. The second syllable is clearly 'man'

Never been a fan of Corbyn.

Fed up with the Tories at the moment but do have sympathy for May, she's inherited a mess and nothing she negotiates will make everyone happy.

starcrossedseahorse · 19/12/2018 18:17

For what it’s worth I thought it looked more like ‘stupid bitch’ 😂😂 but who really cares what he mouthed to himself anyway?

Yeah because that would have been fucking hilarious, right? Confused

SillySallySingsSongs · 19/12/2018 18:17

If that is the case why did she not call him out on it at the time, clearly no one heard and it was only picked up when the army of media moguls troll through this stuff to find news worthy stuff. For what it’s worth I thought it looked more like ‘stupid bitch’but who really cares what he mouthed to himself anyway?

It was bought up at the end of PMQs. He isn't some inexperienced MP. He is leader if the opposition. He knew the cameras were there. He knew what he was doing. Mouthing to yourself in a room full of people full if cameras is a new type of defense. Is that a bit like his line during the summer of I was there but I didn't participate.

He could eat live kitten sandwiches on TV, and they'd still make excuses for him.

BlancheM · 19/12/2018 18:14

Yes Dio. It's sickening and hard to believe that those are the people running the country, acting like they're in a primary school playground! Utterly ridiculous

JimmyGrimble · 19/12/2018 18:14

What an absolute crock of shit. Tory MPs standing up and saying ‘I saw him say it sir ...’ it’s pathetic and I would expect better from my Year 3 class.

BlancheM · 19/12/2018 18:12

(And yes it looks more like 'stupid people' to me).

DioVelazquez · 19/12/2018 18:12

It really is sickening to watch, isn't it? Politicians are disgusting.

ratchethandler · 19/12/2018 18:12

I agree 1hello2hello. But I think you'll find the 'seat of our legislature' is actually in Brussells, occupied mainly by a rather loutish drunk

DioVelazquez · 19/12/2018 18:12

the LATTER, I mean.

DioVelazquez · 19/12/2018 18:11

To those trying to defend the phrase, how would you feel if a work colleague called you a stupid woman in a meeting of a dozen people? I'd be mightily peed off

It's not the same thing, is it? Because most of us don't work in great halls full of baying juveniles trading jeers and insults.

The argument here is really more about the use of the word woman than the fact he called her stupid. The former, sadly to say, is not newsworthy in the slightest.

BlancheM · 19/12/2018 18:11

Couldn't care less tbh. I say that as a feminist. Whilst TM is whooping and making a show of herself panto-style like everything is one big joke, the community I live in is making more charitable donations than ever before because it's not pleasant to watch people slowly dying, stripped of all dignity.
'Stupid woman' does not even cover what I think of that woman.

isitreallymyfault · 19/12/2018 18:09

He did say it to her. He was looking directkyvat her. It was during PMQs. He didn't say it to himself. There were numerous cameras pointing directly at his face, a press gallery full of press, visitors galllery and a full HoC.

If that is the case why did she not call him out on it at the time, clearly no one heard and it was only picked up when the army of media moguls troll through this stuff to find news worthy stuff. For what it’s worth I thought it looked more like ‘stupid bitch’ 😂😂 but who really cares what he mouthed to himself anyway?

SillySallySingsSongs · 19/12/2018 18:08

No, you really cannot divorce the person from their ideologies and actions in that way.

Yes you can. Quite easily.

JimmyGrimble · 19/12/2018 18:08

He clearly said ‘stupid people’ ... you’re all frothing about nowt

DeepanKrispanEven · 19/12/2018 18:06

It's not TM that is stupid, it's her ideologies and actions

To those trying to defend the phrase, how would you feel if a work colleague called you a stupid woman in a meeting of a dozen people? I'd be mightily peed off. If he is dumb enough to say knowing cameras are on him how does he act towards those in his office etc? The House of Commons is place of work as well as seat of our legislature.

ratchethandler · 19/12/2018 18:05

Erm Boris For all his faults and past misdeeds did not support a terrorist org' that were engaged in murdering, torturing and extorting money from his fellow citizens. And repeatedly lied about doing so.

The accusation stands. If Boris had said this you Corbynistas would be bubbling with outrage.

SillySallySingsSongs · 19/12/2018 18:05

Surely he can think and say to himself what he likes, he didn’t CALL her anything did he.

He did say it to her. He was looking directkyvat her. It was during PMQs. He didn't say it to himself. There were numerous cameras pointing directly at his face, a press gallery full of press, visitors galllery and a full HoC.

brizzledrizzle · 19/12/2018 18:04

Why? Claiming that a stupid PM is immune from being called stupid just because she is a woman is in itself hugely patronising and misogynistic.

It's not TM that is stupid, it's her ideologies and actions. Personally I don't believe in calling anybody stupid, criticise the action not the person. I can't believe I'm defending the woman, I can't stand what she believes in.
