Stop using the word progressive. It is meaningless and just another word for socialism.

No, Dave, in this context it very much isn’t.

Sorry off topic. Alternative BNP flyer. Please pass it around. I found it on Twitter.

Why we’re not voting for the BNP

Where did he use the word ‘progressive’?

Is that really a hatred of women or just a matter that they are a bit faux outraged that she may or may not have claimed the items?

With the Smith woman claiming a bath plug claiming a few bits and bobs is neither here nor there.

Will Rhodes: Look at that picture of the Torygraph’s coverage again. Now, answer your own question.

“Stop using the word progressive. It is meaningless and just another word for socialism.”

And the trolls get stupider by the day.

And I cannot even see where he said it?

The title of the original post was “progressives should defend Jo Swinson against the Telegraph’s misogyny”.

The original title of the post was ‘progressives should defend Jo Swinson against the Telegraph’s misogyny’ – I thought it was a bit long and changed it.

But frankly – it’s irrelevant. I think the point James makes is an important one. This is Telegraph misogyny plain and simple.

“But frankly – it’s irrelevant. I think the point James makes is an important one. This is Telegraph misogyny plain and simple.”

I agree that it’s irrelevant (just I couldn’t find it on a search) and without a doubt of course it’s misogyny. Clue: bath plugs are androgynous.

The original title was ‘Progressives should defend Jo Swinson against The Telegraph’s misogyny’, as you can see in the url (https://liberalconspiracy.org/2009/05/24/progressives-should-defend-jo-swinson-against-the-telegraphs-misogyny/#comments)

Apologies – didn’t see your follow up comment Sunny. Please delete my comment 12 (and this one )

An Asda receipt included a bottle of Mr Sheen cleaner costing 78p and a £1.19 window cleaner. She also claimed for a hair dryer and £16 lavatory roll holder, along with a £14.10 invoice to have a spare key cut for her cleaner. Miss Swinson’s records show that she submitted receipts for items ranging in price from a packet of dusters for 29p to a television costing £544.90. Asked why she had regularly used the additional costs allowance, which MPs may used to fund a second home, to claim for low-cost, everyday items, Miss Swinson said: “None of these items would have been necessary for me to buy were I not living away from home for half of the week.

Forget misogyny.

Misanthropy will do fine.

Thieving ……. (substitute your own word as I don’t want to be misogynistic)

@ Andy -

Will Rhodes: Look at that picture of the Torygraph’s coverage again. Now, answer your own question.

I did before my first comment – but I still don’t see misogyny – I see a Tory rag having a go at anyone and everyone because it has got its bite firmly held on.

Telegraph report about Jo Swinson’s claims:

“Also among her receipts was a £27.94 bill from Boots, which included a £5 eyeliner, a lip liner for the same price, and a £12.00 “R&M Eye Kit”.

Contacted by the Telegraph, Miss Swinson said she had not claimed for the eyeliner, suggesting that it featured on a receipt that included other items for which she did seek repayment. No items other than cosmetics appeared on the receipt in question — it seemed to be the second of two pages, the first of which is missing.”

Missing from whom? From the Telegraph, the accounts office or from Miss Swinson? Write what you mean.

The Telegraph have had their bit of fun, have increased their readership, but it is time for full disclosure. Comparison of what the Telegraph holds and what the accounts office professes to hold will be equally illuminating.
