Personally I don't see it's such a big deal. But one has to be so careful in these hyper-sensitive times.

One certainly does Svejk, no longer do people have a basic allergy to something it's now a life threatening hyper-sensitivity to anything.

Yet another MP displaying their stupidity on social media. I have a theory that the majority of 'careless' tweets are posted after a few drinkies, but impossible to prove. Offensive and probably racist. As you say, something we might expect from one of the fringe right wing parties, not a mainstream party. Embarrassing for Labour.

[Jackdaw33]

If you are Labour you can get way with this sort of thing. Anyone remember the Labour MP who mocked one of her constituents for having the English flag draped from his window? She's just been reappointed to the shadow cabinet.

She needs to concentrate on herself:

In June 2014, Goodman was invited to give a speech at the opening of a village fair at Ingleton, County Durham in the parliamentary constituency which she had represented for nine years.[8] During her speech, she praised the village for the beauty of its waterfalls and caves and for its connection with Arthur Conan Doyle. None of these features applied to the County Durham village, but were in fact references to the village of Ingleton, situated seventy miles away in North Yorkshire. The speech reportedly "baffled" the audience and after five minutes she was called away from the microphone and informed of her mistake.

Goodman's reportedly been sent on a course to re-orient her thinking.

[Old_Geezer]

Unwise. But the tweet is clearly about leaving China to come here not about Mrs. Hunt, who was merely used as an appropriate example (given her husband's prior comments) of someone who felt the need to leave there. Big fuss about nothing, again.

^ Don't know but Goodman claimed a £600 fee for advice from her management consultant husband.

\\\\That's rich coming from a man who has probably never done a hard days work in his life.\\\

You don't have to be up chimneys all day or work on a building site, to have done a "hard days work."

I agree......no big deal and she has apologised which is a useless token of appeasement.

[Sqad]

Bouncer.......you name it and I've done it.

From working in Charrington's Ales Brewery in the East End of London ( not in the office) to cleaning walls in prostigious buildings in London ( Heathrow)

From sweeping up in Woolworths to working as a night nurse in Bethnal Green.

[andy-hughes]

I don't understand the 'kipper' reference Svejk - can you educate me please?

[Sqad]

OOps! almost forgot...a porter on Peterborough North Station.....one of the cushiest jobs I have ever had.

[andy-hughes]

Bouncer - //What do you/or did you do for a living then Squad???? //

According to another AB'er on a previous thread - I must be the only longstanding AB'er who doesn't know that Sqad is a retired doctor - why didn't you know that????? (LOL!)

[Sqad]
