FLATTERY: famous politicians saying

[GabbyLoggon]

Was he being unreasonable.?

He said "Everyone likes flattery. With royals, pile it on with a trowel"

Does everyone really like flattery?
I have me doubts.

the dude who said it was Disraeli, a PM from yonks ago. They called him "Dizzy" and he wrote love stories.

cheers "Gabby"

I prefer Churchill's famous saying:

Woman: (offended by something Churchill had said) "Sir! You are drunk!"
Churchill: "Madam! You are ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober!"

Love it!

cavemum
I think that involved bessie Braddock a famous Liverpool MP If she said it in the Commons, they probably asked her to withdraw.

Thats why you dont get classy insults there;even though a lot of the Mps dislike each other.

"Gabby"

Was it also Churchill who having another dinner party Barney with some woman said

Woman - "if you were my husband I'd put poison in your drink"
Churchill "if you were my wife I'd drink it"

yea dream

W.C may have said that to the first female MP..whose name esapes me.
