MP's language hypocrites

[Jordan210]

So after MP's blasted the PM for his use of language. Some MP have embarrassed themselves on Twitter. How can these MP's think its acceptable to swear at members of the public.

Couldn't get any worse

These people are living off tax payers money

[Fittster]

People on PH are fairly hypocritical

Those can’t be right. They all appear to be labour MPs

We all know the conservatives are the nasty nazi party.

This constant use of even the slightest to gain an advantage is ridiculous. There's a total lack of ideas or direction, so there's no policy to debate, most of them don't have any personality, all that's left is empty words.

Whilst all this outrage and faux outrage is at least ensuring MPs are actually turning up and doing something for once, it has the air of rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic about it.

In the meantime, at the end of next month, the UK faces the very distinct possibility - irrespective of what the House of Muppets has foolishly voted - of crashing out of the Eu without a deal, because the Eu has every right to kick us out. IMHO history will show that all this grandstanding is doing little to secure us a good deal, let alone prepare us for departure.

Whatever else has been said, Johnson's reference to Jo Cox was utterly despicable.

Surely those tweets are hacked or fabricated?

I take it you have read his responses in its correct context after a number of Labour MPs tried to use it as a political tool.

This was my favourite faux outrage by remainers yesterday

Murray said:

The signs were clear when the Attorney General, Geoffrey Cox, at one stage referred to a question as being like a ‘When did you stop beating your wife’ question. Emma Hardy, an MP for Hull, swiftly contrived to squeeze some offence out of that. Soon she was on her feet objecting that such a phrase was horrifically, wildly inappropriate and somehow made light of a domestic abuse bill due to go through the Commons. In the armoury of modern British political warfare being able to disingenuously or otherwise accuse someone else of making light of domestic violence is almost as good as claiming that they have used a ‘dog-whistle’ racist term.

The fact that Hardy had herself used the phrase she had complained of in the recent past was a reminder – if reminder was needed – that much of this is now performance.

?? It was labour who dragged Cox into it.

All Boris said was “the best way to honour the memory of Ms Cox and bring the country together was "to get Brexit done".”

What’s despicable about that?

Despicable is more applicable to all the MPs as a group.

Brendan O'Neill isn't impressed:

True Patriots!

[petemurphy]

mp's should be banned from social media they might get a deal done then rather than being on their phones in the chamber

[Wills2]

The language and rhetoric used on all sides is designed to whip up and speak to the entrenched base of each tribe, meanwhile any sensible person just looks on agog at what is before them.

I can understand, in the most extreme of verbal exchanges, some coarse, regrettable language 'escaping' but when it's written it just seems so unnecessary. With a written exchange there's the time and the chance to think and moderate to get an equally damming judgement across and one that can be met with a reasoned response and one that cannot be used as an example of bad behaviour to whip you with. It's really poor form.
