Usual rubbish from the Standard, part owned by the same people that own the Daily Mail. You need to listen to what he's saying not jump on the headline bandwagon. Exactly why the country voted to leave EU, country now full of morons more than ever before, lapping up this spoon fed nonsense in the papers.

I listened to what he was saying but it seemed a bit daft..
I'm interested in why so many people on this thread are so eager to deny the truth of the story simply because the Standard link didn't show all the speech.. took me 5 seconds googling to hear JC on after work drinks.

You don't do yourself any credit by labelling others as morons. People are intelligent enough to listen, watch and take note of what actions follow, rather than believing the media, or even the politicians. Words are cheap.

A lot of people here claiming he does no such thing. What he does say is:

[It] benefits men who don't feel the need to be at home looking after their children and it discriminates against women who will want to, obviously, look after the children that they have got.

He doesn't say it benefits parents who want to be at home and discriminates against parents who want to look after their kids. No, it's men who don't feel the need to be at home, and women that obviously do.

Women care more about their kids than men. What a dick.

well, I obviously take any stuff like this, especially from the OP, with a pinch. It looks to be true, it was more the typicality of the OP posting the only link without him actually saying it that tickled me.

Launching his manifesto for women, the Labour leader said: ‘Early evening socialisation benefits men who don’t feel the need to be at home looking after their children, and it discriminates against women who will want to, obviously, look after the children that they have got.’

That seems to be a quite stunningly sexist quote. Wonder if it says anything about his own approach to raising his three sons?

But yet initially, you said Corbyn was a tool?

I do think Corbyn presents as a bit of a tool. Where have I contradicted this? I think he's a sound man, with sound ideas. Mostly. He just presents himself to he press and the public so poorly.

Does he walk around London after 5pm at all? Pubs are rammed with clunge.

Can he simultaneously have a smidgen of a point, whilst also be barking up completely the wrong tree?

Fair enough, I'm aware there is a bit of history between certain posters

I am interested in threads/news like this because I believe it's more evidence of the authoritarian streak to JC. I believe the image he likes to portray to the country is entirely fake and his view that people's attendance at the pub should be regulated in some way is indicative of the real JC.
How exactly are employers supposed to control it even if they wanted to ?
JC is a professional campaigner who surrounds himself with adoring disciples. He is destroying the Labour Party.

The practise of the bloke going down the alehouse, staggering in for tea 3 hours late and reeking of booze is a long standing tradition. And a little sexist. It'd be a shame to lose that image. But tbh , just as much skirt in pubs in cities all over the UK as there are blokes.

Early evening post-work socialisation is an excellent opportunity of getting off with that secretary in the next door office - dont see how thats sexist, in fact its positive discrimination in favour of women by me!!!

Yes, a bit bizarre. He says some sensible things about how equality for the sexes needs to be reached, which should go without saying really, in 2016. But NO mention of after work drinking.

the only sensible thing he could say is I resign

Iggle Piggle · Sep 2, 2016

Its not even in the top 25 of issues in the workplace. If you banned those of us from socialising and drinking who end up in Hotels in locations such as Slough and Basingstoke, the economy would fall to pieces overnight.

The Clamp · Sep 2, 2016

Some things you just have to let people decide for themselves. If a wife thinks its sexist her husband goes down the pub at night, how is that anyone's business but him and his Mrs?

Frankly there are far more pressing matters do deal with atm.
