Anyone else think that was possibly the smuggest walk into Downing Street ever?

Was I alone in praying she would trip up?

@MyFokMarelize

I also despise Dominic Raab, Ian Duncan Smith, David Davis, Nigel Farage, Donald Trump and Liam Fox.

Am I guilty of misandry too? No. Of course not. Your misogny accusation is fucking ridiculous!

How convenient that you decide to add a small handful of MEN that you hate, when accused of misogyny.

Crack on with your hate. Your mask has not only slipped; it's fallen off and smashed.

MyFokMarelize · 24/07/2019 20:00

Has it dear? Well thank God we've got you here to completely misunderstand almost everything whilst trying desperately to pursue some dumb agenda! You crack on yourself! Grin

DippyAvocado · 24/07/2019 20:01

Are we not able to criticise any woman (even one with a track record as awful as Patel's) without being accused of misogyny?? Plenty of threads in here moaning about Boris too. People have every right to dislike a politician on the basis of their voting record and public words and actions. You can't have female MPs being beyond criticism simply for being female.

I'd be interested to know if user called out misogyny on any of the many previous threads criticising Diane Abbott.

Alsohuman · 24/07/2019 20:02

How on earth is it misogynist to criticise a nasty piece of work with abhorrent values just because she’s a woman?

MaxNormal · 24/07/2019 20:03

@MyFokMarelize I love you and I love your username Grin

MyFokMarelize · 24/07/2019 20:03

Thank you Max. I've never met anyone else who gets it! Grin

QueenBeee · 24/07/2019 20:04

Thank God all the men are so good.

Lumene · 24/07/2019 20:06

Priti Pratel is truly awful and that has nothing to do with which sex she is.

She is a liar and unintelligent. Equally nothing to do with her sex.

TheSpottedZebra · 24/07/2019 20:06

I don't care if the men are any good. They're men - that's all that matters.

Jesus QueenBee

You and the others shouting misogyny have spectacularly missed the point Hmm

Look beyond the end of your nose.

Threatening Ireland with a history of famine with food shortages. Desperate to cut overseas aid.
Openly loathing the poor, disabled while opposing gay marriage and supporting the return of the death penalty
I don't care what's between the legs of a person like that. They're hateful and vile and deserve nothing less than hate right back.
To have the absolute cheek to swagger smugly down Downing Street while campaigning to ruin the lives of so many others takes ruthless Tory to a whole other level.
Piss off with your ridiculous agenda.

She's fucking vile, but I think Esther Mcvey might actually be worse.

In a party where even a total dimwit like Mark Francois can bag himself a safe seat, and where a lazy, lying, cheating, careerist shite like Johnson can become PM, I doubt if she's even in the top 10 when it comes to loathsomeness.

The silly bitch and cunt comments are edging on the misogynistic use of language.

Lumene · 24/07/2019 20:41

Still doesn’t change the fact that Williamson and Patel are not the smartest nor the most honest individuals mind.

MintChocAddict · 24/07/2019 20:43

Alright then, she's a dick!

stucknoue · 24/07/2019 20:44

In all seriousness, I'm seriously considering whether to stand for parliament. I was really political in my youth but always thought that I didn't have the skills because I didn't do ppe at Oxford etc but I'm thinking my real world experience trumps any of these idiots, and I know my way round a set of accounts, speak the basics of 4 languages, and know the mental health system inside out ... I cannot be worse than these clowns!!!

So angry at what our population votes for, my mp is very nice actually but still a tad thick if I'm honest, I know there's a few good eggs but they are not in government (there's even the good Tory's)

sunglasses123 · 24/07/2019 20:45

So what would others do in Boris’s position?

Lumene · 24/07/2019 20:47

Please do stuck

PigeonofDoom · 24/07/2019 20:49

I wouldn’t be in Johnson’s position as I’m not a baseless, lying asshole so I can’t comment.

escapade1234 · 24/07/2019 20:50

Mumsnet politics threads are echo chambers. What’s the point?

MintChocAddict · 24/07/2019 20:50

Boris is only in Boris'position because he's so desperate for power that he'd stop at nothing to be in charge.
Complete self interest with no interest in anyone or anything else.

Not just mumsnet escapade. What views do you have that are missing from the current thread?
