Apropos misogyny, why is it that "stupid man" is permissible parliamentary language, but "stupid woman" isn't? Tautology - Erskine May said it's a waste of parliamentary time.

Apropos misogyny, why is it that "stupid man" is permissible parliamentary language, but "stupid woman" isn't? Because the standard version is 'stupid idiot'. Why is it that Corbyn gets hauled back to the House for something which is inaudible and unprovable, but May doesn't have to either apologise or account for her pulling the Vote in plain sight, even after the Speaker had made it clear there'd been an affront to the House. Surely Andrea Loathsom's not going to rule the day? I'm a woman, by the way, so none of your mysogyny, please, mrsognde.

I think that's very unfair, and rude, mrs.onde. We've only met the two brothers so far. Shyster, I take it you're mrsonde's twin, according to your dob. And there are no two brothers. We're fluidly genderless and gendered, and revel in the choice(s) offered by the wonderful unconfused world we live in today.

That's an insult up with which I shall not put put after, except that's making a mockery of poor old Winston (and his protege Thatch) with a crate of champagne and a couple of botts of brandy down him each day. And isn't even coherent or grammatical, like him was. 'nt.
You do know Thatch was virtually illiterate, don't you? Stuff that came out of her box - the red one - had either a tick or a See Me.
Execute or be executed. Or what? Mags had a bit of a praying mantis obsession.

And isn't even coherent or grammatical, like him was. 'nt. Would that any of us could achieve a fraction of his magnificent works. I have done my best, but I usually pass out before even the first bottle. Nope. But if she was, she's even more impressive than I thought - all the while illiterate, while getting a chemistry degree and then a law degree, while holding down a job and raising a family, then ably rising to the top of the political greasy pole, as a despised barely tolerated woman? I doubt even someone of Churchill's talent and drive could have done so much. Hugo and Moore give some examples of her annotations - the usual accusation is the reverse of your claim. Presumably these were from a later period, after she'd licked her servants into some sort of shape. [/i]or be executed. Or what? Mags had a bit of a praying mantis obsession. [/quote] She just got things done, with spectacular comprehensive efficiency, and worked five times harder than anyone else - the Civil Service didn't know what hit them. They say in any large organisation 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people - it took her a year or two to get rid of the dead wood, and promote the capable. Of course, if you were one of the multitude of culled, I can understand your jaundice. Have you started the celebrations early? Season's cheers to you, if so, in case we don't see you conscious for a while.

I've told you not to rile the sonde - you're no match for his devilry. Which is why I love you, dear sis/bro. But mrsonde's the real deal, and I wouldn't be surprised if he fell for me in time (I've already fallen for him). Those photocopies you brought home of Maggie's scrawls, which I nicked, have proved rather lucrative. Especially those marked Top Secret. I'm biding my time. (Don't tell, but I'm going to give first refusal to mrsonde. And then hit him with the Churchill Tapes, which I also nicked, unbeknownst to you.)

Don't blame me for your child derangement sydrome, I had nowt yo do with 'em. Ah, that was what you were trying to do, was it? By attacking the literacy of two long-dead prime ministers, including a Nobel prize winner in Literature. If you want to rile me, you're going to have to try harder than that, old bean. The alleged reality of mrsonde is far from being a settled question. You're not that old, failing memory or not. That bold red stamp read Final Warning, not Top Secret.

I would remind posters of the long-standing UncleVanya Convention - the alleged mental health of posters is not to be impugned without thorough and approved professional examination.
