Lee Anderson said bearers of Queen's coffin deserved "a few random females"

I can't believe (well, perhaps I can) what I've just heard on the news- Lee Anderson MP for Ashfield ( I think?) was giving his opinion on the bearers of the Queen's coffin, and said "they deserve a few pints, a pat on the back, a few random females", or words to that effect. I couldn't believe what I heard, I rewound the bulletin to listen again, and yep, old Lee seems to think women are a commodity, for the pleasure of weary soldiers 🤬🤬🤬 Did anyone else see this? It was on ITV lunchtime news. I've searched for a clip or report online but couldn't find anything.

Eurrgh.

Random females.

Completely expected sexism from an MP yet again. A hole to fuck in exchange for the honour.

GobbolinoTheWitchesCat · 20/09/2022 14:26

Disgusting.

Surprise, surprise, he's a Conservative.

Yep. It's making my blood boil. I had a quick look at his Facebook page, I was going to maybe post something, but looking at his followers I think I'd get torn to pieces. It's shocking that an MP can come out with this stuff and not even consider what he's saying, or the message it puts across.

That's disgusting.

I actually thought your op meant that some of the pall bearers should have been female instead of what you actually meant.

VestofAbsurdity · 20/09/2022 14:30

Hideous, disgusting, sexist, misogynistic male.

No, he definitely gave the impression that they deserved "a few random females" to help them relax, along with a few pints & a pat on the back.

Yuck. I also thought this was going to be about why their weren't female coffin bearers.

PuttingDownRoots · 20/09/2022 14:35

WTAF???

Women aren't a commodity. Their job was paying respect to the woman who has effectively been their boss for 70 years, yet some people think they deserve that?

No surprise unfortunately, he's already been reprimanded for saying he was out campaigning with 'a pair of lovely knockers' next to a picture of him with female campaign staff. He's vile, his supporters are awful too.

RaRaRaspoutine · 20/09/2022 14:45

oh my god. Skin-crawlingly awful.

Cremombuly · 20/09/2022 14:45

How enlightened of him.

RobynNora · 20/09/2022 14:50

Gross!!

LubaLuca · 20/09/2022 14:54

Lee Anderson is a full-time bellend. He is not able to be normal, yet his voters seem to think he's one of them. How embarrassing for all of them.

TorviShieldMaiden · 20/09/2022 14:56

Do you have a link to it? Where did he say it?

Charley50 · 20/09/2022 14:58

Yuk! Also why is he presuming they are straight.

Mrsjayy · 20/09/2022 15:01

I thought your title meant female coffin bearers but no, eurgh that is repulsive !

TinyKittenPaw · 20/09/2022 15:03

“Random Females”

Not even the ones you have to care about or know the names of. Disgusting and horribly unsurprising.

It was on the ITV lunchtime news; I've searched for a link but couldn't find anything. I had to listen twice as I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He's a knob.

He is my parents MP…they despise him!

Mrsjayy · 20/09/2022 15:05

Oh isn't he the one who said people should batch cook so they wouldn't need food banks?

idontthinksodou · 20/09/2022 15:10

I saw this too and thought I may have misheard! Clearly not. Disgusting and quite disrespectful to the Queen really

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 20/09/2022 15:11

I'm glad someone else has seen it! What a nasty piece of work he is. Almost as if he thinks women aren't human; and they're just there as a commodity for men 😡 and he's an MP!!!

Was he commenting live for this nastiness to get broadcast ?
