    That's right, he plainly deserved his wife being murdered by a far right loony stirred into action by exactly the kind of rabble-rousing bullshit that Johnson was spouting yesterday.

    You like nothing better than to invent something to be outraged about, Strolls :emoticon-0100-smile.

    Toby Young: From the leader of the party that brought us “bollocks to Brexit”, “decapitate” Boris’s “blond head” and “Tony Blair can **** off and die”. Boris saying “humbug” was completely beyond the pale.

    It wasn't 'humbug' that was so outrageous Goldie (although to so smugly dismiss legitimate requests from female Labour MPs for him to moderate his language is pretty offensive), it's the constant use of words like 'surrender' to portray himself as some kind of modern-day Churchill leading Britain against an evil European enemy, and those who oppose him as appeasers, traitors, or fifth-columnists. It's a deliberate move straight out of the Dominic Cummings playbook and he knows full well the potential danger that it could put these people in from far right nutters. It's a disgrace.

    I hope that Johnson, now forced to actually try and get a deal, gets one and there is an election in November at which he gets what his hero got in 1945 - kicked out on his arse.

    Toby Young is a fool and an abysmal journalist. Was he referring to Corbyn? If so, 'Bollocks to Brexit' was a Lib Dem invention. The other quotes may be attributable to Labour supporters (I have no idea), and if so should not be tolerated. They didn't come from the leader of the party though - Johnson is supposed to be the Prime ****ing Minister.

    Not that I know of, but quite probably in the stuff you like to copy and paste.

    Those female MP's also don't have the 24 security protection that the PM has.

    Can't remember when I last had any kind of rant. But if you are worried about all our health check the cholesterol and sugar levels in that night cap.

    The worst abuse I've heard was from Labour's no. 2. John Mcdonnell suggested lynching a female Tory MP.

    Calling the Benn Bill a surrender bill is mild in comparison. It closes down free speech in Parliament if politicians can't use such a description. Stuff like traitor etc should be outlawed absent a legal basis

    Jess Phillips is one of the biggest bullies in Parliament yet plays the victim card whenever it suits her

    Johnson's sister disagrees with you........

    I do think it was particularly tasteless for those grieving a mother, MP and friend to say the best way to honour her memory is to deliver the thing she and her family campaigned against. I think it was a very tasteless way of referring to the memory of a murdered MP, murdered by someone who said “Britain first”, of the far right tendency, which you could argue is being whipped up by this sort of language.

    My brother is using words like surrender and capitulation as if the people standing in the way of the blessed will of the people as defined by 17.4m votes in 2016 should be hung, drawn, quartered, tarred and feathered. I think that is highly reprehensible language to use.

    Oh, and regarding Jess Phillips...

    Jess Phillips says man arrested after trying to smash windows at her constituency offce
    The Labour MP Jess Phillips, who represents Birmingham Yardley, has revealed that a man has been arrested after trying to “kick the door” of her constituency office while reportedly shouting that she was a fascist. She told LBC Radio:

    I’ve only just heard about it myself but my staff had to be locked into my office while the man tried to smash the windows and kick the door, I believe. I don’t know what I can say because the man has been arrested.

    I looked. Unproven allegations which he denied from when Jo Cox was alive, though he admits he should have behaved better. Has absolutely no relevance to what the sick sulk or her husband said last night.

    Rachel Johnson has an axe to grind as a very determined Remainer.

    MP's like Soubry and Phillips court trouble by being personally sneering against those that disagree with them (including on Twitter) and then claim victimhood. They need to be more professional like most of the other female MP's

    Jo Cox's behaviour was beyond reproach and she was murdered by a psychopath. And out of the blue since she was highly regarded. Hard to stop that, then, now or in the future.
