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.

Thats all very well and good but i don't think anyone really knows what your "point" is.......

Sunak the Softie? Beer Starmer? unbiased/dislikes all politicians equally?

who knows!!!

I'm sure you too understood my point and I'm standing by that.
"And I'm unanimous in that."

There is a point to their posts?

I don't agree with using Mr Sunak's height as a term of abuse or criticism. Stick to his policies or some of the ways he has compromised to be in number 10.

Mr Sunak's policies are pint sized, as are his leadership abilities. One might say he is a pint sized PM.

Describing Rishi Sunak's policies, competence, integrity and party discipline as pint sized is excessively generous. The man is a moral midget.

Bit harsh on midgets.

True. Let's make it a mosquito.

At least mosquitos have a purpose.

Spreading malaria?

Preferable to spreading hate?

It's a fair question, and I think the number of victims globally of hate and malaria are much the same. So perhaps Rishi is a new species of mosquito.

I’m not sure she was referring to his height!
but if she were then people of height get equally as mean comments

Fair comment but unfortunately, the PM/Deputy never ever answers the points made on policy etc.
Dowding had a go at Rayner over her living arrangements, all of which is subject to a Police enquiry, so she couldn't really reply and its PMQs not Opposition Questions.

Both sides use the Televised PMQs to gain headlines.... Bojo accusing Starmer of failing to prosecute Saville, quite a slur on the former DPP but strangely wasn't called abhorrent by Tory supporting posters.

Not sure you're using the word abhorrent representatively here.

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator I must have missed you coming out in defence of Starmer when Jeremy Hunt made jokes about his weight in the budget speech......

Oh come on. Defend him? @DistinguishedSocialCommentator allegedly doesn't even know what his name is.

Whose names Jeremy Cunt?

Dear friend
I was not on the forums at the time and if that was said, yes it is abhorrent as abhorrent as those nasty people calling him, the other vile names on this thread

I wonder how those people would feel if their children or GC were called those names.

That Mr Hunt is no better than Mrs Truss

HTH

We arent your friends

I notice you still haven't replied to the repeated posts from many posters about your own behaviour when you labelled Liz Truss a clown despite judging and calling other posters disgusting...

This post is clearly aimed at the poster I am responding to
@CurlewKate

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator when I saw you had posted I was hoping for more of your insightful facts and detailed analysis of the current political situation.
Please can we have some more soon?

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator I'm sure you've been here since March 6 2024.

and????????? @CurlewKate

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator That was the date Jeremy Hunt made comments about Kier Starmer's weight. Interesting that you didn't comment.
