[melbournite]

Ha, i just came here to post that.

Poor Harriet, it must seem a bit scary when you come south of the river for the first few times.

[RosieH]

bless her I say - she's been in politics long enough to know what a potential PR disaster that was. but if she hadn't put it on, would the police have called her snooty?

[Cassius]

Sorry thought that was the April Fool!

Perhaps its to protect her from workmen ogling her and calling her love!

[Ant]

I had a good laugh at that this morning. She was on the radio trying to justify it but not doing a very good job.

[dave]

au contraire - I'm not generally a fan and thought she was very useful on the offensive against the Daily Mail...

[TJS]

She is such a useless woman.......she is about as useful as a chocolate teapot

[HonaloochieB]

I agree with Dave. She told off Humphreys for going along with a Daily Mail "stitch up" and I thought she made her point well in the face of his questioning.

As mentioned above, she was doing it to 'muck in' with the people she was visiting, nothing more.

Move along now, nothing to see here.

[Ant]

I thought his point about wearing a hard hat for a reason and not just to muck in was a good one, and I don't think she answered it particularly well.

[snorky]

I would so like to kick her up her ambitious fat arse - maybe she ought to get a kick proof arse protector ?

[templeton]

Do you have an issue with ambitious women Snorky?

[snorky]

I have a problem thats HH if thats what you mean

or are you trying to make me trot out some handy off the cuff & quoteable mysogony ?

[seanmlow]

And I agree snorky, her arse is fat.

[melbournite]

regardless of the size of her arse, she is an idiot for walking around her own constituency in a stab proof vest, it's a school boy error.

[falcao]

Sounds like she needs a flab proof vest.

[Administrator]

Please stay on topic

[*Bob*]

I'm no fan of HH, but this is yet another example (as if one were needed) of why The Mail is not fit to wipe your arse on, fat or otherwise.

[LuvPeckham]

Maybe they are a general issue to all politicans to protect them from being stabbed in the back ?

[snorky]

nice MP we have - Voted for ID cards, Voted for teh Itraq War, voted against investigating the bungling behind the march to war and was well behind whatever punitive anti terrorism laws have been proposed of late. Oh, and wants to restock the Trident Nuke cupboard

Im not surprised she wears an anti stabbing vest.If I was here, i would be tempted to don a suit of armour every time I went out on public

[????]

To be honest, I'd rather she was being slagged off for being a useless, vacouus, self seeking, 'professional' politician *pukes, than a someone whose scared (or maybe not) of meeting the general public in her own constituency..either way, the fact that she has any influence on mine and my families life is deeply depressing...

ANARCHY

[RosieH]

I take issue with her arse being fat.

don't know if I'm just in a bad mood today, but that's p*ssed me right off. she might be rubbish. she might be an idiot. she might be a warmongering, human-rights eroding proto fascist, but seriously, is the size of her arse relevant?

no wonder there are so few women in parliament.

body fascists

[shorri]

Yes

[RosieH]

think we should establish the size of everyone on this forum's arse to make sure they're fit to comment.

[RosieH]

think I'm in a rage and going to remove myself now
