RIchard Britten Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 As always, no context and no source. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/874951/Harriet-Harman-BBC-This-Week-Andrew-Neil-Labour-Party-Twitter-Response "During a debate on what is an offensive joke, Ms Harman told BBC This Week: “I’ve long been accused of being a humourless feminist and I’ll give you two examples that I’ll protest about because they were offensive and hurtful. “So, this was a Guy's hospital rag magazine back in the day and people like Andrew say that these things are perfectly alright. She then repeated an antisemitic joke saying it 'wasn't funny.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month Mr Neil gave a speech at a fundraising dinner for the Holocaust Education Trust at which he spoke of the dangers of rising left-wing antisemitism. https://antisemitism.uk/andrew-neil-forced-to-tell-former-labour-party-leader-harriet-harman-to-be-quiet-after-she-repeats-disgusting-holocaust-joke-live-on-air/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re on my ‘friends’ list. From your link: Quote We do not consider Ms Harman’s recounting of the Holocaust ‘joke’ to be antisemitic because she was trying to use it in order to illustrate a point about offensive jokes, but it does demonstrate shockingly poor judgement for a former Leader of the Labour Party that she chose to repeat the ‘joke’ on air and we applaud Mr Neil for his firm rebuke. I disagree that with them about it showing poor judgement. Neil can be a bit of an old windbag, let’s be honest. — As for class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Nice to see Andrew Neil put Harriet Hormone in her place. She's one of the most tiresome people in politics, constantly pushing her privileged feminist cause on the nation. For once, Edwina Currie talked a lot of sense. This is turning into the latest folk-scare and a feminist witch-hunt, and all sorts of innocent and natural human behaviour is being rounded up and sent for trial.

Chinahand Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The mistake was her presuming that Neil would find it acceptable. If she had caveated her remarks with “... I’m sure Andrew won’t like this joke ...” who knows what his reaction might have been. I doubt a 20 year old reference to a Today programme presenter getting in a huff about presumptuousness. Though Neil was clearly fed up with her for going on too long. He told her at least twice to let others speak prior to this segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
