Dancing said it, Dev, not me; I admit nothing.
I live in the increasingly forlorn hope that our politicians will one day grow up; as yet, sadly, I see no sign of it at all. I have never heard such a load of puerile, sanctimonious, hysterical, hypocritical crap in all my life; and, believe me, I have heard more than a little of it over the years. Have our political ' leaders' ( I use the term loosely) nothing more important to be getting on with at the moment? (Rhetorical question; no answer required.) Although not a lip-reading dancer - I would almost certainly do myself a serious mischief if I even thought about trying to be - I think I can work out what Brother Corbyn said. However;
1. Teresa May is a woman. Indisputable, biological fact. (Even the Lib Dems have to accept that one.)
2. She said something that Brother Jezzer considered to be stupid. That is an opinion which he is entitled to hold and to express, whether accurate or not. (I wish to make it absolutely clear, m'lud, that I express no personal opinion myself on the matter.)
In view of the hysterical accusations about misogyny and God-knows-what-else that are now flying around on the basis of just two words, can I pose a question? If Teresa May had made a similar observation about any other non-specific member of the male gender (or even, perish the thought, the Shop Steward in Chief himself), would we now have the same accusations of sexism, misandry etc etc etc being thrown around?
Discuss.
