    Have you not seen PMQs recently mate ? The whole lot are like a bunch of school kids in primary school. Decorum really ain’t a word I’d use for any of them

    Not at all it’s just there’s no point, there have been hundreds of voxpop videos, thousands of xenophobic comments all over social media. To deny that, well there’s no point even discussing it.

    If you cant see what the whole thing had become then I don’t know what to say.
    We’ll just have to have different opinions on it.

    It's been like that through history. But the Speaker is there to ensure it doesn't become like the football terraces of the 1970's and 80's.

    It’s a fact that there was a large percentage of the British South East Asian vote that voted for Brexit…would you put them under the ‘racist/anti foreigner’ umbrella ?

    Most probably school kids in their bedrooms, occupying time before their mum calls them down for tea. If the country was xenophobic, there'd be support for a xenophobic party. There just isn't.

    But as I say, nothing's changed. Do you remember when Michael Heseltine picked up the mace? He was quite rightly reprimanded. There's a line that can't be crossed, and calling members of another party scum crosses it.

    She didn’t do it in the house though, or so I thought. I thought it was at the Labour conference ?

    Was thinking more of politicians than us plebs but it’s not really a benefit at all if real wages don’t rise which given the government is making it up as it goes along I don’t think is likely.

    Workers in some sectors will benefit in the short-term from labour shortages, but the concomitant price inflation will soon wipe out their wage increases. Meanwhile, low-paid workers in the public sector and families on benefits will see only price increases with no mitigating increase to their income.

    She's done it in the House before, and been reprimanded for it, so she has form

    See my earlier answer to Bracknell. Now is the time to take the opportunity to take the country back from the Tories

    Fair enough. However I would suggest the actions of the Tory party are far worse than names. But that’s just me

    Blair starting a war in Iraq was worse, but any MP calling him scum would have been censored, in the House by the Speaker, outside it, hopefully by his or her Party Leader.
