Who Do You Think You Are?




The Huffington Post reported on a spat between two Labour MPs the other day.

 Apparently Jess Phillips asked Jeremy Corbyn why he had failed to appoint a woman to a top job in his shadow front bench, only to be rebuked by Diane Abbott who reportedly scolded Ms Phillips for asking a 'sanctimonious' question before adding, rather waspishly:

 "You're not the only feminist in the PLP (Parliamentary Labour Party)"

 Later Ms Phillips explained to the Huffington Post, "I roundly told her to f*** off."

 And when asked what Ms Abbott did in response Ms Phillips said, "She f***** off" before adding:

 “People said to me they had always wanted to say that to her, and I don’t know why they don’t as the opportunity presents itself every other minute. I said: ‘Who the f*** do you think you are?’”

 Now if you ask me there are too many people in the Labour Party calling themselves feminists every two minutes, but in this case I take my hat off to Jess Phillips.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
