John Bercow says mocking short people is as bad as racism and homophobia | Mail Online

Mocking short people is as bad as racism and homophobia, says Commons Speaker John Bercow (who happens to be 5ft 6)
Bercow said jokes about his height had 'never bothered' him personally
But he questioned why is was okay to ridicule someone's height
Speaker said racism was wrong but heightism 'somehow acceptable'
Comes after Tory MP called him 'stupid, sanctimonious dwarf' in Commons

I think its because you is a bit of an arse.

Note that Bercow didn't challenge him on the other two points

Hmm. Me thinks it is the term dwarf that will get the happy clappers upset, not the heightism non-argument.

yes indeed the use of the word dwarf in the sentence 'stupid, sanctimonious dwarf' is as an insult along with stupid and sanctomonious

Also he is not actually a dwarf as an adult under 4ft 10 is official a dwarf

You can't say that, you have to use the correct term: PORG...Person Of Restricted Growth although you could use that to relate to his intellect as well

Must be a double whammy for him bearing in mind his wife is being banged up hill and down dale my some muscular traveller type.. And god knows who else.
