Zippity: Barton on Question Time compared UKIP to the least ugly lass out of 4 ugly lasses.
KalUser: Aye, but what does that say about the other three uglies. Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem? The electorate answered that.
Jallan: The ironic thing is he said it as an analogy, one that we all understand quite easily and will laugh at.
The UKIP rep took it extremely negatively and sexist and responded with a comment about footballers only having brains in their feet.
She gets pissed off with a joke that could be perceived as sexist and the responds with a massive generalisation and a comment that could be perceived as sexist, That is rather ironic.
All it confirms to me is... Same shit, different suit.
