Tories accuse Angela Raynor of "doing a Basic Instinct"

In the original article it said she admitted to not having Johnson's "Oxford training in debating". I can't find that article now.

However by juxtaposing "she admitted it" with "Basic Instinct" in the headlines, they have seeded the idea that she admitted to flashing her f****. Dan Hodges this morning has gone full tonto on it.

A laugh about it in private, I meant. When something so outrageously stupid is made up about you you'd have to laugh, or you'd cry.

I'm not going to go back through the whole thread but if anyone is interested in a bit of leg flashing here's a pair (admittedly not at the dispatch box).

They're quite distracting

do you think people like Boris Johnson and Co have any idea how much more difficult it is for ordinary people to heard? let alone in politics.

Some good advise

As I said, how would anyone except AR actually know if she had done such a thing deliberately? She would never admit it publicly even if she had. Showing your legs with a shortish skirt is so easily done and she could have a giggle about it afterwards. In other words, not taking it seriously. It is everyone else who has taken it seriously and blown it out of all proportion.

This is a wind up, isn't it?

There's a lot of them about Volver

Brought it on herself, she did. Look what she made them do.

Hmm. I noticed that DaisyAnne.

I am finding this very bizarre. In the 60s when I was young most of us wore very short skirts in work.
I don't think many were showing their legs to distract men.
Why then think that AR was doing this? I do cross and recross my legs for comfort and so was she probably.
Her skirt wasn't nearly as short as some we used to wear.

Just to repeat, I never accused AR of anything or said I thought she was doing this. I said that only she would know whether she had deliberately done this, not you, not me, not anyone else. I keep an open mind, and I don't take this seriously at all. It's quite amusing how wound up everyone is getting over a pair of legs.

Actually WWM". I am travel sick on buses, so usually choose to walk.

I think some are upset over deeper, more important things Chestnut.

So far, two people have lost out because of this Tory attempt to save the leaders a***. They are a women who is now trying to protect herself and her family and a man who has, justifiably lost his job.

I don't find it at all amusing. But then Johnson and his supporters don't actually care about other people, as we can see from the posts on this thread. They want power to use for their own advancement. If other get hurt in the process - well that's how the Conservative world works. Other people's lives are just a joke to them.

It's much more people are het up about than a pair of legs, obviously.
