Scott7 5,009 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Uproar in the Houe of Commons at Prime Minister’s Questions when Mr Corbyn appeared to mouth “stupid woman” to himself at the end of one of the PM’s answers. I wonder if there would be similar outrage if Mrs May had muttered “stupid man”? What’s wrong with having an opinion? He didn’t even look at her when he said it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,349 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 So now we can put him down as misogynistic, as well as anti-Semitic and pro-terrorist. *I'm kidding about the first two. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 He said “stupid people” imo, have a look. Anyway what would be the problem in calling a stupid woman a “stupid woman”? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,009 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Corbyn is a stupid man. Let’s go with the weight of evidence from lip-readers that under his breath he said “stupid woman” to himself, not to Mrs May, not to the House, not even to a colleague. No problem with that, surely. So, what does he do? He denies it. That’s where he’s gone wrong. He should have said: “Mr Speaker, exasperated by the lack of a substantive reply from the Prime Minister, I uttered ‘stupid woman’ to myself. While I doubt the wisdom of many of her policies I can make it clear she is not stupid and I apologise for having offended honourable and right honourable members opposite.” Situation defused instead of dragging on to today. It’s comparatively low key in contrast to the screaming and fainting from the sisters on the Labour benches if Johnston had said something similar about Diane Abbott.

buster. 4,808 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Just as well there isn't currently any pressing business for the political classes in the UK. Let's them get on with 'NothingGate' or is it 'Muttergate'..........perhaps they are really considering options for the border between N.I. and Ireland but it's all in lip reading code. I found it highly ironic that Andrea Leadsom got up to speak about 'Stupid Woman'. I guess there is nothing like hearing from someone with deep experience. Talking of which, what we need now is for Boris Johnson to give us the lowdown on this other phrase 'Stupid People'. Maybe this is all a cunning plan hatched by Jeremy...............
