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.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
