A leadership contest!

Ganging

I know GrannyGravy13, but I still think putting it out there in a comment is normalising it - just, in my opinion, not appropriate. If it’s later reported that there were such threats, then one could comment on that - but to speculate on the possibility seems distasteful and unnecessary ( in my opinion)

It’s not the facts of the threats it’s the way abs post used the fact to try to imply something. And nice what’s your definition of bullying - putting forward a well reasoned fact based argument?

Unbelievable, no female MP’s have been threatened with rape and to say they have is ‘insensitive, appalling and completely inappropriate ‘ .

I am use to it Nicenanny

1. Labour female MP’s received threats of rape when they voted no confidence in Corbyn. Fact

The Corbyn hit list was published. Fact

2. I asked a question, ‘ Will Mrs May have a hit list. Will female MP’s who voted against her be threatened with rape?

Anniebach, can you post a link(s) to your above allegations

You used a serious issue that affects many women in public life in a totally inappropriate way to make a cheap anti Corbyn comment. It was unnecessary insensitive and appalling

Since Anniebach has explained her comment then to go on commenting ‘how appalled’ ( faux outrage) is just silly.
I can well imagine that female MP’s were targeted in that awful way when they voted no confidence in Corbyn.
Female MP’s have to deal with that kind of thing a lot, letters, emails, online etc.Just awful.

Faux outrage indeed!

Indeed.

Lisagran, discussing or mentioning rape or assault does nothing to normalise these things. What it does do is bring it out into the open, so that the victims are not further victimised / traumatised due to feeling unable to report it.

Seems the Corbyn supporters here didn’t know police were called in to investigate the claims of rape.

Sarah Champion, Jess Phillips and others lied ?

Grannygravy a better word might be ‘trivialising’. I think it is trivialising rape to use it in a sly dig, which is how I interpreted ab’s comment.
No one has implied anyone lied about receiving rape or death threats - why do you make that suggestion ab?

janeainsworth I cannot be held responsible for how you choose to interpret a post.

No annie I agree.
But it’s your responsibility express yourself clearly and to think about how others might interpret your cryptic remarks.

It is impossible to know, think, guess , what others may assume or interpret

Ah Jess Philips - that would be the Jess Philips that tore into the Tories (quite rightly) yesterday for restoring the whip to two Tory MPs so they could vote in the confidence election. Both suspended for for sexual misconduct issues which are still under investigation - still as long as they arent Corbyn supporters eh annie?

Anniebach, again I ask, can this forum see links to your above allegations as I cannot remember a vote of no confidence being brought forward in regard to Jeremy Corbyns leadership on the Labour party since he took up that office?

I stand to be corrected if the above is in error

As a conservative I was deeply disappointed that those two MP’s had the whip restored in order for them to be able to vote.

Day6 we NEED the EU !! Okay so it costs. So what ? So does foreign aid, only more !

Grandad just enter Labour Party vote of no confidence June 2016 in your search engine, it comes up immediately.

Oops add Jeremy Corbyn

As the fifth biggest economy, why do we need the EU anymore than the rest of the world?

Relying on and limited by one “trade block” in the 21st century is rather narrow minded.

^ So does foreign aid, only more^

As I understand it, the portion of our EU contribution which goes towards EU foreign aid (i.e to countries outside the EU) is actually counted as part of our foreign aid budget.

Well thanks for saying that GG it’s rare for a Conservative on GN to criticise their own side - I think it was a disgrace and imagine how the women involved must feel?
