I must've heard something wrong... but did I hear on the radio today that Corbyn's going to introduce women only carriages on trains? As if it's Saudi Arabia already!
Japan & a few other countries

Where does it step - separate carriage for young people, old people?
Conservative idea:

"An MP has discussed the possibility of introducing women-only train carriages to help combat sexual assaults on public transport.

Parliamentary Under Secretary for transport Claire Perry said women only carriages already existed in Japan “because there is a particular problem with groping and low-level violence”.

“It is a very interesting question and I will look at all ideas,’ she said."

It's a stupid idea irrespective of its origin.

From the usual suspects quoted in the usual suspects (Observer/Guardian, BBC):

Tony Blair speaking of Corbynmania said:
...reason is an irritation, evidence a distraction, emotional impact is king and the only thing that counts is feeling good about it all...
Sounds like Labour full stop, with one difference in his day - hiding it behind spin and a grin.

Andy Burnham said:
Tony Blair won three general elections for Labour. If we've got to a point now where the Labour party says it doesn't want to listen to him, well, I would think we've lost the plot.
Not many ears about.
