Sausages……..how.

A sense of humour and gransnet don't belong in the same sentence, it seems, these days.

Regardless, whether people are amused, or point scoring for some reason, any reference or taking part in a thread about the gaffe could be seen as showing little respect, couldn't it?

Just shows how important a sense of humour is, without any rancour being intended. Wish some on here could see that!

I simply found the gaffe amusing. My amusement in no way was a criticism of Starmer.
Folk do read too much from very little.

Oh how some of you are revelling in this aren’t you. Pathetic imo.

Oh dear, how dare we criticise St Starmer, for a gaffe that is really unpardonable. Or are you OK that those imprisoned by Hamas terrorists are called, possibly on the world stage,sausages.

Maybe, if you’re so concerned about those imprisoned and their families you would, knowing that it was an accidental slip of the tongue, not go out of your way to publicise it as much as possible to protect their feelings. Instead you are using them to further your hatred of the PM. Imo

I am just surprised that Labour supporters have forgotten so quickly.

They haven’t forgotten.
It’s just double standards.

Grannybags that’s because some GN posters appear determined to demonise KS for every single thing he does / says / doesn’t do / doesn’t say … and then criticise those of us who rebut their tittle tattle.

In exactly the same way as any politician wearing a blue rosette was on a daily basis - the words sauce, goose and gander spring to mind.

Message deleted by Gransnet. Quotes deleted post.

I’d guess he just misread the cue thing. I wouldn’t make much of it really. Now had it been Biden, I would be questioning his mind but I don’t think that is an issue here. He knows exactly what he is doing.

A slip of the tongue, hilarious but nothing more.
PMs have said worse things intentionally, Boris had a whole repertoire of intended gaffes. Like when he called Muslim women Daleks and Obama ‘one of them’ referring to his colour, to name but two examples.
But then he had Boris immunity, something the people of this nation conspired to award him no matter how diabolical he was, until partygate and Pincher.
Compared to this the sausages slip is very small fry. Pun intended.

Hilarious!

I can assure you that Mr. Johnson was regularly lambasted on GN when he was an MP and even more so when he was a PM, along with all Conservative MPs.

I completely agree

It was funny, not because of the subject matter, which is horrendous, but because it was a genuine gaffe and a funny word!

With the Middle East on the brink of full scale war, overnight KS has authorised the mobilisation of 700 troops to the region to evacuate British nationals.

But let’s not bother about that on GN … let’s go on and on about who bought his glasses, and take the p* out of him for a slip of the tongue in a speech.

FFS!

I’m not anywhere near as confident as you of their circumspection, look how they handled Boris and Nazanin, it was all over the media. Some explosive stuff has been on the media about Ukraine/Russia and what people have said too. We’ll all carry on thinking what we think though, no doubt about that.

Today 09:47 Oreo

It’s the only interpretation.

Otherwise the headliners would have had a field day.
Agreed.

Oreo I think you are correct.

On the other hand the memes on the internet are hilarious, there are some very clever quick thinking people about.

That’s an interesting interpretation Oreo.

If it wasn't for GN I wouldn't have known about it.

I listen to news and news related podcasts and nobody has mentioned it

Put it this way, the only newspaper headline was in the Star this morning, and it’s not on the front pages of any of the online news sites either that I can see.
Big news on Gransnet isn’t necessarily representative… It’s not his ‘they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats’ moment, I think that could yet be the gaffe of the year, although there’s still time.

And you must be able to see why the papers are holding fire on this particular gaffe?
It’s the sensitive nature of the awful ordeal of the Israeli hostages and what they and their families have had to endure!
It sure isn’t the papers being kind or understanding to KS.

Funny how Johnson was loved for his 'gaffes' which he made on an almost daily basis. People said it made him 'one of us.'

Such double standards.

Was he? I didn’t love BJ with or without gaffes.
I accepted the sausages as a slip of the tongue.
I don’t think the situation in Gaza is the least bit funny.
But yes, I did laugh - because it sounded funny.
What’s even funnier is the desperate defence of Starmer on GN. Is he really so weak that he can’t take the criticism he handed out during his time in opposition?

Perhaps we should have used these 2 sentences when the Tories were being scrutinised 😁
