“ Scum “ remark in The Commons.

[stripes39]

I thought it was an accurate description.

Tory MPs have just voted against feeding hungry children during an upcoming winter where many people will lose their jobs and we have a pandemic spreading. This Government are a disgrace.

Yet you are more offended because a grown man was called scum.

Can't say I'm surprised this is your first thought.

There's loads of debates that take place where MP's profoundly disagree with each other but that doesn't mean that the standards of decency need to drop in the process. The Labour Government when in power also took controversial decisions one of which resulted in thousands of children dying all because Blair was Bush's poodle. They debated they voted, it happens in the Commons.

It's no wonder politics is in such a bad state that the best we can offer is this woman when the country is crying out for decent opposition to a very poor government. She reminds me both in how she speaks and in how she looks of that Catherine Tate schoolgirl character 'Am I bovered'.
