Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

[Dobba]

Tory MPs, days after their party reinstated the whip to two people suspended over claims of sexual misconduct, suddenly very concerned about negative messages being sent to women.

Hopefully Corbyn gets the same punishment Spreadsheet Phil got.

 

[Smores]

They're just distracting from their immigration proposals

 

[Tibs]

Should have called her a stupid, dangerous, reckless cnut. Would be more accurate

 

[Berbaclass]

I hate this culture we have now of people getting offended on other people’s behalf. It’s stupid.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

It's much more important if someone calls someone else stupid rather than if the country faces it's biggest problem for over 70 years - people getting riled up about this but complete apathy to impending catastrophe. Unbelievable.

 

[Irish Jet]

This outrage is just...

F*ck Brexit. Just launch the nukes and reset.

 

[Sigma]

Agreed with people in here, who cares what Corbyn said? There are much more important issues to discuss. They shouldn't even be getting a recess to be honest. They should be debating it this/next week so a vote can be had as soon as possible so that when the deal is inevitably voted down, we have more time to deal with the situation.

 

[17 Van der Gouw]

Yes but if the vote goes through then everything carries on as per the agreement assuming it later gets ratified etc. So no referendum or GE.
If it doesn't people are expecting a GE or referendum to solve the problem which I don't really see how they do.

GE solves nothing and IMO is the last thing we need right now.

Second referendum doesn't guarantee a different result.

 

[Jippy]

Oh well, financial services is only 14% of our economy...

EU ‘no-deal’ plans for Financial Services: comment from law firm CMS

“There are no concessions for the UK financial services industry in this paper,” says Paul Edmondson, a financial services partner with law firm CMS. “The very limited temporary equivalence decisions that are being proposed are designed solely to protect EU financial institutions. UK firms need to come up with their own solutions, with no help from the Commission.”

 

[Smores]

I've booked some holiday so I'm not in the office on brexit day. I'm not dealing with the fallout

 

[Kaos]

Nevermind the fact the outrage over what he said is hilariously overblown, but to add to it it’s the feckin Tories getting upset over it. The literal nasty party, who make it a sport to constantly heckle, belittle and mock others while lamenting PC culture, it’s these same cnuts getting upset over him muttering ‘Stupid Woman’ under his breath?! Oh do feck off.

Well there doesn't have to be a ref or GE if the deal is voted down, UK can just wing it alone.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Well yes, but there are a lot of MPs from all parties who look like voting the agreement down and at the same time saying no deal would never be accepted by parliament. Does not compute.

 

[VP89]

Is stupid woman even a sexist thing to say?!

 

[Berbaclass]

Is stupid woman even a sexist thing to say?!

I don't consider it sexism purely because she's an actual moron.

 

[VeevaVee]

Is stupid woman even a sexist thing to say?!

Nah. Like when someone says 'stupid man', 'stupid boy', or 'stupid girl', all heard regularly, it's just a weird way of emphasising the insult.

 

[VeevaVee]

I just remembered, I saw a speech May gave before she became PM the other day. She seemed so much calmer, more collected and confident than she does now. I think she was in her element a step down (not saying she was good, just comfortable), rather than in the limelight.

 

[Drifter]

A million Brits living on the continent would become ‘illegal’ under EU no-deal plans

[DavidDeSchmikes]

The FA will hire a lipreader and linguistics expert to see what Jose Mourinho Jeremy Corbyn said

 

[VP89]

Nah. Like when someone says 'stupid man', 'stupid boy', or 'stupid girl', all heard regularly, it's just a weird way of emphasising the insult.

Yeah that's what I thought. Why are the Torys such a bunch of childish clowns

 

[Classical Mechanic]

It’s not sexist when Jez does it, naturally.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Only sexist when it's aimed at Teresa May, the Tories need their distraction right now

And so we'll spend a couple of days focusing on this instead of Tory infighting leading us to a no deal Brexit

 

[afrocentricity]

What have I missed?

 

[Silva]

What have I missed?

Corbyn called the tories stupid when they literally started doing a panto in parliament.

 

[afrocentricity]

Oh... Ok?

 

[Berbaclass]

Looks like he said ‘people’ which makes sense when you consider that he’s a big communist...

 

[Ubik]

It's clearly "woman".

I mean, it's a ridiculous thing to be having a debate about, but also a ridiculous thing to lie about.

 

[NinjaFletch]

Oh... Ok?

Nah, Silva's summary is hugely disingenuous.

Corbyn was lipread saying something which looked a lot like 'stupid woman' (which he denies and his team said was 'stupid people'). A lot of female Tory MPs have kicked up a stink, but they're being dismissed by Labour supporters as being hypocritical because they only care because of Corbyn's politics. In turn, it's being pointed out that it's hypocritical of Labour supporters not to believe female MPs complaining that 'stupid woman' is sexist because of their politics they are Tories, and that they would believe them if the roles were reversed.

It's a storm in a teacup, and become a circus obviously (it's fair enough to compare it to how little anyone cared about a Tory MP yesterday telling a SNP MP to go back to the Isle of Skye), but it's hardly the first time Corbyn has scored a completely avoidable own goal and given the media an excuse to focus their attention on him rather than the shambles of the government.

The media are running with this because they’re so fecking thick they have nothing to discuss on the brexit debate. They’re bored of it and want some inane shit to discuss and get people arguing on the radio.

Coming from a family where I have many profoundly deaf members that looks like ‘people’ to me, the way his mouth curls it looks more like a P rather than W.

feck this shit, seriously.

I especially enjoy how she lists her credentials and how she determined what was said, and people still reply saying the opposite.

Bloody experts..

It has to compute I'm afraid, its her deal or Out Out as it stands.

it's almost like lip reading has a 30% success rate

Glennie is a charlatan. Doesn’t have the same lip reading qualifications as Alison@deaf.

 

[Flying high]

He clearly says people.

 

[unchanged_lineup]

Feckin hell folks. I've taught phonics for years and while that's not the same level of expertise as the others mentioned, to my eyes it's nowhere near "woman".

 

[17Larsson]

What is the offence? Was the person he was referring to not a woman?
