Totally outrageous, misogynistic so called news item in the dreaded DM today.

Senior Tories have accused Angela Raynor of distracting our buffoon Prime Minister by crossing and uncrossing her legs - à la Sharon Stone - in Prime Minister's question time.

Can they sink any lower???

Yet another disgusting example of the true mind sets of the guffawing Tories. They're a disgrace yet again.

A crutch is what you use when you break a bone in your leg.

I suppose you could get a life, too.
There is more to life than dictating to other women how they live theirs.

You must have incredibly low aspirations Wong if you get your kicks by ranting at women in an Internet forum.

MissAdventure Tue 26-Apr-22 21:06:02

I couldn't show anyone my crutch.
I'm not at the stage of needing walking aids yet.
Crotch is the word you mean, I think, deputy.

I've got what I want out of my 'feminine' life so I must be doing something right. Get a life ladies!!!!! There's more to having a happy fulfilled life than just burning your bra or showing your crutch to the Prime Minister.!

No women have been showing their "crutch" (sic) to the Prime Minister as far as I am aware, despite the Sharon Stone reference, Angela Rayners picture actually showed legs!!. Its the men that may well have been crotch displaying. Not sure anyone has been burning bras around him either!!

Anyway glad you have got what you want with your "feminine" life. Could you possibly explain what your "feminine" life is comprised of that has got you what you want? I am wondering what exactly a "feminine" life is, as opposed to "a life!"

I'm thinking of buying a crutch specially MissAdventutre just to send all the men wild in the Sainsbury's aisle. That would spice my weekly shop up a bit!!

Don't you start getting all unnecessary.

Madgran77 Tue 26-Apr-22 21:37:26

A quick bra burn in the self checkouts might be a good finale!

Meanwhile, they are still trying to establish who the MP is who decoided to make those comments about Angela Rayner. I wonder whether we will ever know!

Wong Tue 26-Apr-22 22:04:10

I don't care who made the remarks. I've had a great life being 'female' and my husband 'male'. Still working, still running family business and school and most importantly still enjoying life.

Keffie12 Tue 26-Apr-22 22:20:23

My point is this: Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Raynor sit opposite Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak - there is a dispatch in-between them. The site lines mean Boris won't see her legs.

Rishi hasn't been bought up in this. Only Boris cos we all know what he is like over women.

So, that leaves a perv staring at Angela legs from the benches or Nadine Dorries who dotes on Boris having a jealous strop over Angela legs to the media

Health warning: you may need a sick bucket, to view the following picture ?

Is this another trans thread?

I pointed that out on about page 1 Keffie grin Johnson can't even see her legs, unless he stands up, leans over the dispatch box and has a good leer..

But what an enjoyable thread this has been..

Obviously I know what I am talking about. It is you who doesn't get my meaning. Perhaps you need someone to explain to you. I've got what I want out of my 'feminine' life so I must be doing something right. Get a life ladies!!!!! There's more to having a happy fulfilled life than just burning your bra or showing your crutch to the Prime Minister.!

What, exactly, is the point you are making?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who "doesn't get" your meaning.

You've got what you want our of your 'feminine' life - good for you. But what has that got to do with this topic?

Nanna58 Tue 26-Apr-22 23:52:01

MissAdventure and Madgran77, I have 4 crutches at the moment after a foot op , a pair upstairs and a pair downstairs. Good job I’m not in Parliament, I could inflame the whole House of Commons flashing those! ?

Too risky Nanna58. A mass orgy isn't befitting in Parliament ....apparently, just like ARs legs!!

It is a tactic beloved of disengaged schoolgirls; slouch down in the chair, hitch the miniscule skirt up even higher; cross and uncross legs or splay them whilst staring fixedly at the male teacher. If reproved by the teacher he is then called a 'dirty perv for staring at me.'

But we assume that he isn’t blaming the child for his poor performance in the classroom and denigrating her working class origin, maintaining that she will never reach his heady heights on debating ability, because of his so called “training”

Apparently Ms Rayner WAS laughing about this nonsense as I thought earlier in this thread. It’s now been weaponised for political gain. It’s hilarious.

Cue the outrage ?

volver Wed 27-Apr-22 09:26:29

How is it political gain when people from all parties are deploring it?

volver Wed 27-Apr-22 09:32:05

I've just been reading the front pages on the BBC website.

If the Mail make up a story about someone, and then the Mail tell me she was laughing about it, its not exactly independent corroboration, is it?

I think actually volver it is for political gain, but Angela Rayner’s, so not in the way the MoS intended at all, it’s backfired big time. What would be the cherry on the cake would be if the ‘source’ turned out to be Jacob Rees-Mogg, who can see her legs from his slouching position, and deserves a good telling off.

Casdon Wed 27-Apr-22 09:51:15

Whoop sorry I attached the wrong quote!

volver Wed 27-Apr-22 09:53:02

Fair point Casdon.

The Rees-Mogg thing - I feel a bit sick now ?

In answer to your question Misadventure- my family’s jobs are as follows- one is a GP, one is a surgeon, one is a nurse and one is a QC. In their jobs, their clothes are hardly glamorous or sexy - it would not be either appropriate or allowed, for them to dress like Angela Rayner does in her job. Come to think of it - it might be sensible for the House of Commons to all dress in scrubs ??
