Full speech.Ahem...

You see me here, you gods, a poor old man
As full of grief as age, wretched in both.
If it be you that stirs these daughters’ hearts
Against their father, fool me not so much
To bear it tamely. Touch me with noble anger,
And let not women’s weapons, waterdrops,
Stain my man’s cheeks! No, you unnatural hags,
I will have such revenges on you both
That all the world shall—I will do such things—
What they are yet I know not; but they shall be
The terrors of the earth. You think I’ll weep.
No, I’ll not weep.
I have full cause of weeping, but this heart

Thanks for that - it’s not the best quotation he could have chosen an extract from…

I wonder if he worries whether he’ll leave no quotes of his own 🤔

Angry Angela Rayner tells Lorraine she’s wearing trousers today to avoid judgement

Wonderful being a woman in 2022 isn’t it!

L1ttledrummergirl · 26/04/2022 10:32

Angela Rayner should have worn a mini skirt, stockings and high heels!

Only joking, she would wear whatever the fuck she feels comfortable in.

I know it's disgusting isn't it, the abuse women in politics put up with!

We had widespread mocking of Truss and her hat/selfies or infact everytime she opens her mouth. We have Dorries getting widespread abuse yet when aimed at Angela everyone says it must stop.

She will be loving all this attention. I wonder who the anonymous source was, probably someone from their own benches stirring up froth.

Well what a surprising take on it

Liz Truss seems to spend most her time creating photo ops, with a photographer we pay for. She averages FIVE photos a day with a photographer we pay for

I think this is a little different, don't you?. Hmm
Angela Rayner was just doing her job at the despatch box, not inviting the public to 'look at me' with endless pics.
The article was snobby, elitist and misogynistic.

She will be loving all this attention

That's below the belt. Even for you. I sometimes think you are the Dear Leader Boris Johnson sometimes.

JaniieJones I don't recall Truss or Dorries being demonised for their "basic instincts".

ancientgran · 26/04/2022 10:56

The Basic Instinct link makes this so disgusting. They are likening her to a woman who not only crossed and uncrossed her legs but did it while wearing no underwear. It is the same as saying Johnson stood up at QT with his flies undone flashing his penis.

ClaudineClare · 26/04/2022 10:59

Oh dear god. What a revolting image.🤢🤢🤮

Would it distract you though?

ClaudineClare · 26/04/2022 11:02

Janiie does not like Angela, so the lack of empathy is no surprise.

It would traumatise me! Nadine might enjoy it though.

Everyone on the front bench should have, including Starmer. Solidarity in action!

Maybe it is being an old lady thing (think of When I am Old I will wear Purple) but I think I might do myself a mischief laughing. I mean a proper out of control laugh where I'd end up falling off my seat and collapsing on the floor.

It is nothing to do with liking anyone. I just find it ironic the misogynistic crap Dorries and Truss get on these threads yet when there's some anonymous drivel in the MoS (that no one reads) everyone's clutching their pearls.

Any mocking and sneering at any female politician needs to stop. Critique what they say, not what they wear.

SueSaid · 26/04/2022 11:13

'It would traumatise me! Nadine might enjoy it though.'

Ah, because a successful female politician must fancy BJ. Riiiiiiight.

Anyone remember the horrible cartoon of Patel in the Guardian?

But, but they said nasty stuff about Rayner!

ClaudineClare · 26/04/2022 11:30

Anyone remember the horrible cartoon of Patel in the Guardian?

Yes, there was a lot of outrage about it. It was very dodgy.

As for Nadine, I do think she has a wee crush on the rancid lump of lard.

ClaudineClare · 26/04/2022 11:33

But the Patel cartoon was not made by a fellow MP. The slurs against Rayner were.

Cornettoninja · 26/04/2022 11:38

@JaniieJones Get off your high horse, you’re hardly a trail blazer in morality given your staunch and blinkered defence of an admitted and measurable liar.

May I remind you the only reason the Rayner comments are being discussed at all is because they were (allegedly) voiced by Tory MP. Even Boris isn’t attempting to minimise the problems with that and what it implies around the culture of the tories under his leadership. When Nadine and Priti are talked about in a similar fashion by other MP’s then you can make the comparison.

You don’t police peoples opinions or this forum, you have no superiority here. If you don’t like it, report it.

ClaudineClare · 26/04/2022 11:33

My point was misogynistic slurs against female MPs are not ok yet often go on these very threads. As always folk very selective with their outrage.

This anonymous comment made <allegedly> about Rayner was not ok. They all need to stop with the personal insults and attacks.

Suggesting Dorries would like to see BJs flies undone is also not ok is it?

ClaudineClare · 26/04/2022 11:44

My dislike of Dorries is because of her vileness not because of her sex. Jacob Rees Mogg is vile and kisses Johnson's arse as much as Dorries does, so perhaps he would enjoy a flash of the PM's bits also.

Urgh.

SueSaid · 26/04/2022 11:49

'My dislike of Dorries is because of her vileness not because of her sex.'

Yes I could say the same about Rayner but if I said she'd like to see Starmer's flies undone it would be an unpleasant sexist comment much like the anonymous gossip in the MoS.

Anywayyy. Back to Bozo's fines..
