    Fresh racism row for Labour MP Jared O’Mara after he describes Thai women as ‘mail order brides’

    Newly unearthed online comments made by the suspended Labour MP include sordid rants about an 'involuntary deep throat blow job' and 'bumming girls'

    He really is a charmer isn't he.....
    Us Sheffield lads have much more class and charm than Mr O'Mara.
    Should be "We Sheffield lads". :p

    I would not be particularly offended to see a threader here claiming that, say, Mrs May's strength and stability was being forced down the tracheas of the electorate in the political equivalent of an Involuntary Deep Throat Blow Job.

    Stop giving TSE ideas! He might even ask for AV to decide in which position we want Brexit to screw us...

    Let's spice things up.

    There are two gubernatorial races in the US this November, New Jersey (where Chris Christie is time limited) and Virginia (ditto for Terry McAuliffe).

    New Jersey: I would be staggered if the Dems didn't take it at a canter.

    Virginia is a much harder call. I'd reckon the Dems will hold it, but it'll probably be very close.

    Any one else have a view?

    Only that I was not aware term limits applied to governors as well - is it common across other states?

    Interesting to see that Christie won last time very easily.
    It is.

    Hickenlooper in Colorado is term limited.

    He's my pick for Democratic nominee in 2020.
    Hickenlooper? Hell of a name. Every now and them you find one which you just cannot figure our the provenance of, be if regional or profession based.

    I see Virginia doesn't even allow 2 consecutive terms as governor, which is harsh. South American president style (until all the presidents starting repealing those limits).
    Hickenlooper is an old name.

    His Great Grandfather was a Union General with quite a successful military career whilst still in his twenties.

    The name sounds to be an anglacised version of a Dutch or German name.

    "On a music fan site, Mr O’Mara mocked Thai women and also claimed: “We are forever having “THE NEXT BIG THING” forced down our tracheas in the musical equivalent of an Involuntary Deep Throat Blow Job.” "

    Well, Thai women quite often are mail order wives, and the entirely justified slur is on the men who buy them. And a simile is just a simile. I would not be particularly offended to see a threader here claiming that, say, Mrs May's strength and stability was being forced down the tracheas of the electorate in the political equivalent of an Involuntary Deep Throat Blow Job.
    I'm an old fashioned chauvinist, and avoid making those sorts of analogies when it comes to female politicians.

    Bloody zionists.
    I do wonder how the continuously outraged would cope if they ever went to a football match or down the local pub on a lads night out or on a hen or stag do.

    It may not be politically correct but outside the bubble perhaps it's seen s bit differently perhaps.
    Not outraged , so much as entertained to see someone make a prat of himself by saying one thing and doing another.

    Hickenlooper might be a good VP choice for Sanders or Warren, the likely nominees in my view, I cannot actually see him being Democratic nominee in 2020.

    That is especially the case as if the Democrats gain the House next year on a big swing, as seems likely, they will feel they do not need another centrist to win.

    For some reason, Transgender activists seem to have a real hatred for radical feminists. It's like Alien vs Predator.

    Analogies.

    Just an 'r' away from a porn site category.

    Really? He seeems too good to be true:

    "He recently added “author” to his resume with the publication of his forthcoming memoir, The Opposite of Woe: My Life in Beer and Politics."

    The advertising for the new Wolfenstein game is amazing.

    Who would have thought a game about punching and/or shooting Nazis could ever have that central premise be considered controversial.
