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.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
