That's their characteristics, not their physical appearance!

I didn’t see it, only just found out from this thread, as I’ve just returned from the hairdresser.
If she’s to be in government soon, she needs some lessons in acceptable behaviour in my opinion.

This! A.R . should learn what is and what is not appropriate behaviour!! She gets on my nerves at the best of times!

GrannyGravy13 Wed 24-Apr-24 16:47:19

In my opinion her remarks were not, clever, funny or appropriate.

If one of my AC or GC were to speak about someone like that, this Mum/Gran would have something to say to them.

Gutter ? being a carer whilst still a child, beingā€˜unmarried mother’ this means sex before marriage 😱

I think it proves that you can take the woman out of the gutter but it takes a hell of a lot of work to take the gutter out of the woman in this case.

Nasty comment.

True though. šŸ˜‰

Is it because she says them with a northern accent?

Primrose53 Wed 24-Apr-24 16:43:17

Didn’t we discuss Angela Rayner’s lack of social skills last week?
As I said then, it’s not just the offensive things she says but the spiteful, sneering ways she attacks people.

It has always been the case that politicians from all parties try to have a dig at each other and often the offended party ends up with a smile on their face but never in AR’s case as she is deadly serious.

As I said last week you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. šŸ˜‰

Joking about someone's height or physical appearance is unacceptable.

Anyway...
Back to arguing....

I've forgotten my point, or even if I had one, now.

šŸ˜€ MissA you are like a breath of fresh air.

I've just watched it and it horrifies me that Angela Raynor could be representing our country on the world stage as Deputy Prime Minister if Labour gets elected. Shocking.

As compared to the delightful Lee Anderson?

Whataboutery, again.

They've all been like that for a long time.
Sneering and jeering, and showing off their ability to use long words.

Like a bunch of big fat spoilt children.

Half cut most of them or sniffing something.

She has taken herself out of the gutter.
Done far better for herself than most people could ever hope for.

Another I too am Spartacus moment. I agree with GSM description of Reece Mog
I can even acknowledge some criticisms of Angela but I admire her spirit and share her politics. Plus I’m also a northern woman. I don’t share her accent or shouty capacity. My mum insisted we avoided developing strong local accents

Above?

Reece Mogg, sprawled out over three seats, apparently sleeping, until someone shouts at him to sit up.

Only a sneaky gransnet member posted, and ended up "above".

I have no time for JRM. Ghastly pompous man.

MissAdventure Wed 24-Apr-24 16:18:23

I've been in trouble here before, for calling woman "ladies".
Nobody likes it, apparently.

He is a gentleman. She is no lady.

Couldn't put it any better myself.
