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.

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...

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?

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.



Er? no different to Prince Philip then, people in the public eye need to have a thicker skin and man up.

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
