Ridgley Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Ken Livingstone 'unreservedly apologises' after saying Durham MP should get 'psychiatric help' in row over Labour defence policy. I don?t think Ken meant to offend him in that way he just said an off the cuff remark he did not realise he actual had mental problems are we living in a world where individuals are just too sensitive.

Otta Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 He was stupid to say it, and had no choice really. But the story was blown way out of proportion and I suspect those that took offence probably only did so once they realised the media were interested.

uncleglen Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Since we have all been living with political correctness for so long it is no surprise that as soon as someone makes an ill-judged comment (although people do run off at the mouth from time to time and think it is clever) someone will jump down their throat. I was in a meeting once and an elderly chap said "I don't wish to be a n***** in the wood pile but..." all hell broke loose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah Blah Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Live by the sword, die by the Sword. Ken is a politician. Everything he says will be scrutinised. He should know better.Kevin Jones says that Ken Livingstone's appointment as co-chair of Labour's Defence Review Committee would damage Labour's credibility.Ken replies in a press interview with 'I think he might need some psychiatric help. He's obviously very depressed and disturbed.'Basically Ken is a knob. His insult is the reflection of a man so consumed in his own ego that anyone who thinks him not right for a role must be mentality affected. Jews, homosexuals and now the mentally disturbed. Who will he get into trouble with next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
