Abhorrent comments made about a persons height

[DistinguishedSocialCommentator]

Calling someone who is below the average height, "pint-sized" is abhorrent
at the very least. A person's height is beyond the person's control and calling them "pint-sized," some may even say it's an ableist comment

Yesterday, during the PMQ's the lead was taken by the deputy heads of both Tories and Labour. Standing in for the Labour leader was Angela Rayner. She called the Tory leader, Rishi Sunak a "pint-sized leader" when she was losing the arugument

This reminds me of clowns at work who had nicknames for other people who did not fit in with their agenda. Often people will make disparaging comments about another when they feel threatened because of their own inadequacies.
Should she apologise for making these disgusting comments?

AIBU to believe these comments were necessary, inappropriate and disgustingly abhorrent.

You're rather ill informed about a lot of political stuff aren't you?

No. He is a Lord. I struggled as the person commenting was comparing the comments of an elected member of parliament with those of an unelected person who doesn’t live in the U.K. seems something of a strange comparison.

its like comparing someone who makes a comment in the pub with the Angela Rayner who is an elected MP. Odd

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator

Did/do you work for a circus?

"Is Lord Ashcroft an MP?"

No, just a very wealthy Conservative donor that the Conservative gave a title to. He accepted the title and the requirement that he pay taxes here. He lied. I think it took him about a decade for him to drop his non dom status.

"its like comparing someone who makes a comment in the pub with the Angela Rayner who is an elected MP. Odd"

Deputy chairman of the Tory party and
Tory peer.

It's rude in the context she used it. Perhaps in another context it might just be cheeky.

But abhorrent is far too strong a word.

Liz truss killed wilko.

honestly, yesterdays pmqs was minor in comparison to normal, Jonathan Gullis baying like a chimp for instance.

This.
Nadine says it, crickets.
Angela says it, chaos.
Or maybe not enough people have read it to be aware.

😂
Oh dear
If you're going to attack someone for their lack of "interlect" at least make sure your post is perfect before posting 😁

I think we should all completely ignore DSC's bizarre (Tory funded) posts going forward. Tumbleweed. And watch them dropping down and off the Active List faster than the Tories poll rating. Bye Felicia!

I recall he did okay. Won a war or something...

Yes😂”

Bit of rewriting of history there. The allies - particularly Russia at Stalingrad, which completely turned the situation - won the war.

OMG I love “Liz Truss killed Wilko”. This should be her epitaph. Succinct and ever so absurd.

Because she has a Northern accent?

I'd trust her over a snob like you any day.

But not elected. Won’t have his finger on the nuclear button if the PM is overseas or taken ill.
Angela Raynor will be in charge of the nuclear deterrent any time the PM is out of contact.

🤣🤣🤣 that’s brilliant!

That role used to fall to Dominic Raab...

Ah, the fragrant 'I love Boris, he's lovely and so clever, such a good politician and I luurrvveee him' Nadine.

Oh lord, our future is in the hands os a person with dreadful extensions

@leamington66
You started off suggesting Lord Ashcroft comments were the equivalent to the ramblings of somebody down your pub.

I pointed he was a Tory peer so sat in House of Lords - that means he was able to vote on legislation etc.

He was also Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party.

He also owns Conservative Home - set up to influence party policy although I'm sure his massive donations to the party carried more weight.

It's Ashcroft publishing house publishing Truss' 10 Years to Save the West. Etc.

It is true nobody has voted for him - that doesn't mean he isn't influential.

But anyway now you've moved the goalposts to Rayner having the nuclear codes - which as a standard is great news for every other politician.

Angela Rayner was quoting Nadine Dorries. The insult originated from the Tories.

Goodness! I knew he was an idiot but this is reeeaaallly bad.

And yet true.

this needs to be the legacy she’s known for

Yes, love it 😂

She was quoting Nadine Dorries.
