'women are sluts'

[OldNick]

that phrase has caused a stir. It was stated by a UKIP mp. I have little time for UKIP but to sack the guy for that is ridiculous as it was taken totally out of context IMO. If you listen to it he said it with mirth and the women there are laughing along and took it as a joke. It came about as one of the ladies in the audience saying she had not cleaned behind her fridge and he then made the comment. Harmless and if people are getting het up about that then the worlds gone mad.

[Tokyo-Saint]

Listening to LBC and they are going on about it now. Apparently UKIP are unhappy that the focus on Godfrey Bloom's sexist and racist gaffes is distracting from the fact they don't like gays either.

[ecuk268]

John Humphries was interviewing Farage on R4 this morning.

 

He sacked him because he felt that the media leapt on remarks like that and used them to reinforce Cameron's remark that UKIP was a party of "loonies, fruitcakes and closet racists".

 

Although I wouldn't touch UKIP with a bargepole, Farage is a very entertaining speaker.

[solentstars]

Not surprised the party live in.a time warp hate to think some people seriously think these fruit cakes can run the British economy. I think Cameron is glad to have had seen the old age pensioners of the nasty wing of the conservative right defect to Ukip in droves.

Farage is excellent box office and would love to see him involved in the pre-election debates with the career politicians.

[Berkshire Saint]

The strangest thing about Bloom is that he's only 63 but uses phrases that a Boer War veteran might have found old-fashioned.

[swannymere]

Sadly i think Farage is wasted on UKIP, i'm not a massive fan of his but he stirs things up in a positive fashion. The rest of UKIP however are drawing on peoples fears and misconceptions due to the poor economy, nobody whined about Europe or immigration when the economy was doing well. It has shades of an Amateur Dramatics group re-enacment of the rise of the Nazi party in 30's Germany.

We should be given the vote on Europe and he is correct on his assessment of careerist politicians who have never worked in the real World but that does not stop his party being extremely volitile and made up of weirdos.

The same Nigel Farage who was educated at Dulwich College and worked as a banker? Yep - from the real world, I can see that

He has worked has he not? What has (and I vote Labour) Miliband ever done? Detatched from the real World. Can you see that now? PPE careerist politicians and on that he is correct.

I'm not sure the British public actually know what they would be voting for, they seem to think it's just about immigration and straight bananas.

[Orange]

If anyone was actually really offended by what he said then take a long hard look at yourself. Shame Bloom lost his cool when he was being harassed by the journalists and he couldn't see that rising to the bait gave them exactly what they were after. The way the BBC reported it was ridiculous, 'Bloom calls women sluts', so out of context. Scrap the license fee!

A pixelation error on the BBC’s big screen at Media City in Salford meant Nigel Farage appeared to have grown Hitler-style moustache when speaking to BBC Breakfast on Friday morning.

 

In an unfortunate incident similar to a Father Ted episode where a perfectly square piece of dirt gave the Irish priest a moustache, the Ukip leader was left talking about an immigration crackdown with a large black pixel over his upper lip.

 

He had been talking to the broadcaster about Enoch Powell following revelations that teachers saw him as a 'racist' and a 'fascist' at school.

 

 

:lol:

so much the better for us real blokes then:rolleyes:

Well in or out, the arguments for and against can be made once the vote is given, if you are still unsure after the arguments and discussions then you abstain, its quite simple really.

[Saintandy666]

Bit of a lacking comment in my opinion. Experience of a certain type, i.e the 'real world' - whatever that is - doesn't necessarily mean you are any better equipped or not to lead and/or come up with solutions to problems. I think that sometimes a person removed from a situation who sits down and reads/studies all the facts and angles can come up with a better answer. And in government these angles involve big teams working together anyways.

 

However, I'm yet to be convinced by Miliband as he seems to have no real policy direction at all.

[swannymere]

massively arrogant comment.

 

Ok Jamie, i'll bite, why?

[pap]

Slut, or any other term you choose to use, is one of the worst insults out there. It's retrograde nonsense that stems from male dominance and control. The fact that females so readily perpetuate that idea is tragic, and probably stops a lot of people from getting laid.

Sluts furious at UKIP member comparison

 

Promiscuous women everywhere have spoken of their anger at being compared to a room full of UKIP activists.

With UKIP member Godfrey Bloom calling a room full of UKIP women ‘sluts’, genuine sluts have said it draws a dangerous parallel for people who know them.

Self-proclaimed slut Sharon Williams told us, “I can live with being called names such a slattern, harlot, and strumpet – but being likened to a UKIP support is absolutely taking it too far.”

“What if someone assumes that just because I’m a slut that I also want Johnny Foreigner to go back where he came from?”

“Already I’ve had one woman look down her nose at me because she thought I believed immigration was weakening the country’s white bloodline.”

“When she found out that actually I just have a very welcoming vagina, she was very apologetic.”

UKIP sluts

Sluts across the country have called for an official apology from Godfrey Bloom, insisting that the harm done to their reputations by his comparison could prove irreparable.

As one explained, “Who will want to have sex with us if they think we’re a closet racist little-Englander a bit too afraid to join the BNP.”

Williams went on, “Just because I am a willing sexual partner for just about anyone who shows an interest in me, does not mean I don’t care about being a decent person to people from different countries.”

“I have no interest in being the acceptable face of racism in this country. Just the slutty one.”

I don't understand this stance, he is a career politician just like the others. It's very easy attack to make to try to capitalise on the anti mainstream party feeling at the moment. UKIP make try to disguise themselves as a non mainstream organisation, but they are just the same as the tories with more extreme policies on certain issues.

[anothersaintinsouthsea]

very good, where did you get that from?

[Wade Garrett]

I saw the BBC interview Farage on the morning of the day this happened. It was clear that the BBC had it in for UKIP, asking some truly foolish questions. Then the way they reported this jokey remark, that caused no offence to anyone in the room, was disgraceful.

[Bearsy]

you make v.good point pap! I am now against the use of sluts! I mean I'm against using the word, i am still happy to use sluts in other respects.

 

i suggest we make a bad word for birds that don't put out very often. In future instead of thinking nah i won't have sex with him i don't want to be called slut, birds will be thinking oh yeah i had better have sex with him i don't want people calling me a... erm.. We need a word like frigid but more offense!

The BBC have always had it in for UKIP. They used to do all they could to ignore them completely and give no coverage, then when they got too big they chose the other route of ridiculing them at every moment possible.

[buctootim]

Ive got no time for UKIP, but they were stitched up. The guy is an old crusty who was using 'slut' in terms of being slack on housework when making a joke about cleaning behind the fridge.

 

Its a good example of why we now nearly exclusively have only career politicians who speak only in soundbites. Anybody says anything even slightly off message and there is a huge wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[aintforever]

No one is stitching UKIP up, if any politician of any party called a room full of women sluts they would get the same treatment.

Agree despite some trying to make out it's some sort of conspiracy theory .

The fact it was a room full of women proves it was a 'joke' with a lack of malice imo. If it had been a room full of men it would have been very different.

[Lord Duckhunter]

You've got Lord Rennard running around sexually harassing females, with Cleggy hushing it up, Gordon Brown and his "macho culture", yet the BBC concentrate on a bar room buffoon and a dodgy "joke" he made. Every party has idiot's yet the establishment love a UKIP "story". It just goes to show how rattled they are.

[Viking Warrior]

Someone in ukip calls a woman a slut and gets shafted . While issued an its alright for the judiciary to whip women because they believe a woman is not dressed correctly. So the following on French TV news today .

Perhaps a better thing would be for women to reclaim the word. This would place the onus on them..

 

"Yes. I am slut and proud. I will happily f**k that long-haired munchkin just to get my numbers up."

 

Ladies of SaintsWeb, how do we make this happen? This is an urgent request.
