    So those from council estates behave like that? But of course, your Oxbridge/Eton rugger-bugger types would never behave in such a manner, or shove their c*cks into pigs.

    As someone who grew up on a council estate, albeit 10 years earlier than Rayner, I've never exposed myself to anyone or had anyone expose themselves to me. I also go back to visit family and friends quite frequently, and never had anyone shout pedo at me ... so if you are fella, then it's probably your actions that are attracting attention and nothing to do with the kids who are shouting at you. Just saying.

    I can also certainly imagine Boris or other leading MPs (on all sides) making lewd comments - you only have to look in this thread. And I can absolutely imagine a chavvy council estate type exposing herself on purpose. I have no idea if she did, but we live on the edge of a rough area and it's quite imaginable a girl would do that and then start screaming about you looking at her - the local playground to us they will follow adults around calling them "pedos".

    So I'm not sure "what I can imagine" is a particularly useful argument. Neither of us has any personal relationship or knowledge of Boris or Angela.
    Would you call someone a bender if you were an adult writing a telegraph column? If you did, would you be very surprised if people assumed you were homophobic?

    Are you talking about the Tories or the Wail?

    Angela Rayner stands by labelling of Tories as ‘scum’ | Angela Rayner | The Guardian

    She's awful and is holding Labour back big time in the middle ground. She's more than entitled to those views, but it ain't professional in any sense. Also Carrie would, according to you be entitled, to hit her as she's insulted her spouse.

    And yes, I can absolutely imagine him making a basic instinct "joke" to his Eton buddies, that then got leaked. Perfectly possible he didn't, but the fact that it wouldn't be surprising if he had says a lot.

    Actually different cultures around the world, and that includes part of the UK, have different dress they regard as professional.

    So it's ok for the male Tory MPs to shout like public school boys in debates?
