So what does the Corbyn fan club on here think he said?

'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no ,no ,no, no there's no limit
no, no, no ,no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no there's no limit'

It appeared to me that he said, 'Stupid woman'.

[Nearly Sane]

'Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York;'

[Nearly Sane]

'Time for bed!'

[Nearly Sane]

'Joseph Stalin, Malenkov, Nasser and Prokofiev
Rockefeller, Campanella, Communist Bloc

Roy Cohn, Juan Peron, Toscanini, Dacron
Dien Bien Phu falls, "Rock Around the Clock"

Einstein, James Dean, Brooklyn's got a winning team
Davy Crockett, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland

Bardot, Budapest, Alabama, Krushchev
Princess Grace, "Peyton Place", trouble in the Suez'

'Fork handles'

'Viking, North Utsire, South Utsire, Northeast Forties

Southeasterly 6 to gale 8, perhaps severe gale 9 later. Rough or very rough. Rain or showers. Good, occasionally poor'

To me it looked like "stupid woman". But, whatever, he has shown his own stupidity by mishandling the incident.

Even if he had said "stupid people", imo, he should have apologised unreservedly and that would have been that, not an ongoing distraction from important issues. However one of his flaws is an inability to acknowledge that he has made a mistake.

Madame, your peignoir may prove to be exculpatory or not, I cannot say.

'Now mirk December's dowie face
 Glours our the rigs wi' sour grimace,
 While, thro' his minimum of space,
 The bleer-ey'd sun
 Wi' blinkin light and stealing pace,
 His race doth run.'

I thought that would be Burns, but it's Fergusson, and very good.  Corbyn has gone up in my estimation.

I agree, if he did actually say 'stupid woman', heat of the moment thing apologise and move on.

If he did say 'stupid woman' then lie in Parliament about it, resignation time! 

[ad_orientem]

I don't see what all the fuss is about.

[Roses]

It is crazy that there is all this fuss about the 'stupid woman' comment, when there are much more important things the MPs should be concentrating on, like the Brexit debacle, and the danger the idiot across the pond is posing to this planet.

Burns called both Ferguson and Ramsay his "elder brother in poesy", and compared himself unfavourably to both.

After all the Tory lies which have gone Uncommented on......really?

If you think a any MP has lied in Parliament bring it forward.

Nothing to do with being a fan but I did look on youtube and it certainly seemed to me that he said, "Stupid people", not 'woman'.

Big deal. Not.

Haven't the media any other molehills out of which to make mountains?

[Harrowby Hall]

I don't see what all the fuss is about.

I agree. He certainly appeared to be making a silent movement with his lips which appeared resemble the movements required had he said "stupid woman" or something similar out loud. But he did not say it out loud. Nothing has been recorded in Hansard. Therefore there is no official Parliamentary record of him having said anything.

He may well have thought that - have we reached the state where our thoughts are now being policed?

In any case, the comment - had he have made it - could conceivably be justified if Mrs May's rather childish pantomime intonement could also be considered to be "bring Parliament into disrepute".

[SteveH]

So what does the Corbyn fan club on here think he said?

If you watch the video, he's clearly saying "stupid people", because he closes his lips twice, which he wouldn't do saying "woman", but even if he had said "stupid woman", so what? She's a woman and she's stupid. If she was a man, he might have said "stupid man". Would he then be accused of misandry?
I think this whole nonsense should be called "Alloallogate".  https://youtu.be/NU8BcCbbJfo

Wrong. See above.

What a load of bollocks.
