Today, at Prime Minister’s Question Time, Harriet Harman—standing in for Gordon Brown—joked that she could not become PM because:
“there aren’t enough airports for all the men who would want to leave the country”
Well, at least it will give the "race and gender impact" study into a third runway at Heathrow something to look at.

July 9th, 2008 2:05pmSays something about the Minister for Inequality when she acknowledges her unpopularity with the male gender in such a striking way. It rather underpins the fact that her barmy policies are actually anti-male.

July 9th, 2008 2:21pmNicholas, I rather suspect it was a self-justifying remark that asserts the stupidity and dumb sexism of men (as she sees it).

July 9th, 2008 4:01pmThe fact that this halfwit, student-marxist reject is even allegedly in contention for No 10 is beyond satire.

July 9th, 2008 5:38pmWell she chose to underline her unpopularity in a big way today. She should not be surprised if that makes her unelectable. Alienating 50% of the population is not an auspicious start - as no doubt the selectors will have understood. After all NuLab is desperate for support and funds from any quarter.

July 9th, 2008 5:52pmBut cuffleyburgers, Jack Straw was a student marxist, Robin Cook was a student marxist, Blair would have been one if he had ever heard of Marx, ALL labour chaps were student marxists, or just marxists if they didn't go to uni. I think a lot of the reaction to Harriet Harman is just what she hinted, male-chauvinist dumb sexism.

July 9th, 2008 6:28pmThe fact that this halfwit, student-marxist reject is even being paid a salary is beyond satire.

July 9th, 2008 10:11pmNonsense, Fergus. She is stupid, she is arrogant, she is a pathological man hater, she is patronising to everyone but especially men, she is a speak-your-weight PC-spouting android.

July 30th, 2008 7:02pmNovus, regarding your comment about the "dumb sexism of men". I would rather be a man than a bigot.
