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

Caught you out though.?

Really not

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.

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

I’m done now though.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Just thought this might draw a line under things.

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

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.

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

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

Love it GracesGranMK3

Gracesgran ?

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.

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.

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

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

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