The Labour shadow Culture Secretary - wearing this in the HoC?

Update; she is auctioning the dress off and proceed to the Girl Guides. Good call! ??

Very good cartoon GGMK3, and looking at the original picture her hair does actually look like a longer version of Boris's hair! ?

I first heard the Krankie reference here on GN and called it out straightaway - you know who you are don’t you Scottish GNer?

You’re absolutely right - so let’s hope he didn’t say it because that would make him an even bigger prat than his actions already suggest he is.

Either way, the Krankie reference is simply one insult levelled at her appearance.

The point is that he has chosen to insult her looks with a well known and derogatory comparison to a comedy figure.

Well we don't know that this was true, do we?

It was reported that he said it.

In the gutter press that often gets lambasted on these threads for making things up

Personally I've not actually heard anyone remarking on NS's clothes. She always looks pretty smart

Of course the Crankie insult is bandied about on social media and the like.

Gracesgran ?

Now, now Callistemon, no-one has said anything of the sort

Love it GracesGranMK3

There’s more than a couple - there’s a whole bunch of nasty misogynistic posts

I do think that's very funny Gracesgran!


And I note that he has no mouth, which is unfortunate as he has nowhere to put his foot.

Be careful annep!
We are not allowed to agree to disagree.

Just thought this might draw a line under things.

Goodness. Still at it!
I agree with much of what Callistemon has written. Too much to quote.

People are allowed to have different opinions without others being rude..A couple of GNetters haven't left the school playground.

No we haven’t heard what NS calls BJ - but that’s not the point, is it. The point is that he has chosen to insult her looks with a well known and derogatory comparison to a comedy figure.

I can’t think of one comment I’ve read about him anywhere that isn’t true. If his hateful behaviour is being mentioned, then the comments about that are probably hateful if you’re a member of his fan club.

Well at least NS has loyal staff around her who don’t blab to the gutter press about she calls him in private meetings.

Perish the thought the unexpected should ever happen. Many people wouldn’t even have bothered to turn up for work with a leg in plaster.

Eloethan - we haven't heard what NS calls BJ though have we? Could be much worse. And don't forget there has been some shocking hateful comments made about BJ in the media and social media. Politics is a brutal game and they all need to have armour plating.

growstuff ...4.38 07 Feb, not relevant what she did before.
Shes in the fortunate position of having support staff to help.
Or God forbid she should plan ahead.

Can anyone even believe this thread has generated over 500 posts? I can’t!

I’m done now though.
?

There have been loads of rude remarks about Nicola Sturgeon's style of dress, and Boris Johnson described Nicola Sturgeon as "that bloody Wee Jimmy Krankie woman". I find that a good deal more demeaning and disrespectful.

Really not

Caught you out though.?

Obviously should have added a ‘I’m being facetious’ alert there Chestnut

Happy to contribute to that Baggs but a portion would be nice.

Oh, it's Krankie on Google.

Hi, chestnut, I'm making roasted cauliflower and chestnut soup as we speak.
