Does nobody hear the cries of a poor old woman?


Yasmin, being emphatic on yesterday's 'Dateline London'

Just in case you missed it...

Someone with a sense of humour tweeted the following:


A well-known journalist with considerably less of a sense of humour tweeted the following in response, in all seriousness:


As John Player commented, "Schoolboy error. I automatically assumed the twitterati had a sense of humour. I was wrong. What a mistaka to maka..."

Many other commenters on Twitter took to quoting a famous Second World War French cafe owner saying, "You stupid woman!"

(Thankfully no one thought of using another of the great man's catchphrases, "Shut up, you silly old bat!")

Meanwhile on yesterday's Dateline London, the ever-delightful YAB declared most emphatically that Jeremy Corbyn is not an antisemite. Oh, and Frank Field is a nativist who is "using racism". (Yasmin is rarely anything other than emphatic about things.) So now we know.

The other guests this week were a Guardian writer, a Le Monde writer and a reporter from the New York Times

  1. Aha. A Shia Muslim states nothing Jeremy says is anti-semitic.

    Why do they get her on their programmes? Probably because she is a contrarian and argues the toss on everything.

    Oh and that she is left wing, a woman, a muslim and a journalist with a big mouth who spouts illogical rubbish.

    She really is infuriating.

    1. Infuriating and then some. It's that voice that gets to me, pitched, when she's being indignant - which is most of the time - somewhere between a shriek and a wail. Why do they get her on their programmes? It's a depressing thought, but maybe the Beeboids just agree with her.

  2. As observed by (former New York Times reporter) John Fisher Burns (a rare voice of balance on Dateline in my eyes), the complete volte-face of (Le Monde's) Marc Roche on his now upbeat view of the prospects of a Brexit deal with the EU was really quite something.

    Previously he's been prophesying nothing but disease and pestilence for the post-Brexit UK, and only a few months ago he had a furious row with Alex Deane, accusing the UK of being a 'useless country', and Conservatives, including Deane, of being 'racist'.

    I'm not sure, as the conversation was as fast moving as ever, but I thought I might have picked up something about him applying for British citizenship...wonder whether that might have something to do with it if I didn't get the wrong end of the stick?!
