"Calm down dear"

[Uncle Mort]

Depending on whether you're Conservative or Labour it was either just a "humorous remark" or " sexist and patronising"

Personally I think the Labour party should get a sense of humour.

And Angela Eagle did need to calm down.

[Nick]

He was right. Labour is utterly without humour.

[Barman]

Agreed!

[Snoopy]

"Today" have trotted out the usual female journalists from the "serious" papers to condemn the remark as "sexist", "patronising" etc. Meanwhile, never slow to jump on a band wagon, Michael Winner says it is a fun remark, made famous by him, that is widely used by both sexes.

It is absolutely appauling that a man , in such a powerful, influential and public position, esteemed by colleagues and a role model to a whole generation,  should denigrate the feamle of the species with his patronising and soothing tones , much to the amusement of his public school toss pot mates. 

Men are such wankers
