Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

http://news.sky.com/story/1541804/co...rain-carriages

If Corbyn becomes Labour leader. You just have to say that the Tories a lot longer than we all want.

Coming out with the comment if he wins the leadership he will go for 'women only carriage's'

What will be next Buses only for women. My daughter has been molested, touched up on so many buses, as you are cramped together. Sexual discrimination, as what Corbyn is saying that every man, or even women get onto public transport will be molested.

What people in high authorities, should be doing is putting extra bobbies on the tube and streets.

This is what we pay taxes for.

I'd like to take a rare opportunity to agree with you Arthur. :D

This batty idea comes straight from the feminazi propaganda handbook, which states that all men are potential rapists. If there is a problem, then the solution is to catch the offenders, not to encourage women to feel they have to lock themselves away from any and all men.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

thats not actually what he said but since when did the media let the facts get in the way of a story

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

There would be MEN only carriages too though, right ... right?

Of course not, because then some women would claim that was sexist :rolleyes:

Sounds like same old Labour to me. I'm surprised it didn't emanate from Harperson.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Judging from some his 'friends' the next step he would like is Jewish only carriages heading straight for Poland.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Would suit this woman just fine..One way to avoid drunks and endless farting.

Anyway I think he or someone close to him has got the idea from the Indian Railway system.However that runs 24/7 and is very busy all the time,over crowded and women do get massively hassled if they travel on their own so women only carriages are available..They also provide separate disability carriages as well. Very good for a government owned system.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

I think you will find that you can only be sexist towards women. :dunce:

So it's not a new idea..

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Apparently the suggestion for this came from:

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/shelly-asquith/
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/anneliese-midgley/

The NUS are fruit loops. Demanding safe places in universities and, it seems, everywhere else, alongside pre-emptive education for men to avoid rape.

Those who led the charge for women's rights, true feminists, must be turning in their graves at the pathetic excuses for feminists their self-appointed successors are. No idea how they expect respect when they clearly don't respect anyone else, seeing a potential rapist in every man.

India has a massive rape problem and social attitudes that are way behind ours.

We don't need to follow their example any more than we do Saudi Arabia's. Neither are relevant to the modern UK.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Never said we should, was just making the suggestion as to where the idea came from..and I wasn't far wrong about it being someone in his campaign team..

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Corbyn doesn't have any idea that isn't from the 1970s. Nationalise everything, reopen the coal mines, bring back gender segregated carriages. I am just surprised he isn't distributing his campaign videos via VHS.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

The question about the Labour leader campaign is which of the 4 would actually provide a decent opposition the the Tories?Who do the Tories really fear?

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Away with your newfangled technology. Only bourgeois middle class **** have that sort of thing in their living rooms.

Besides, there's no point communicating electronically, what with the rota power cuts and all. Too many people would miss out.

Jezza will be sharing the good news via pamphlets distributed on street corners.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

None of them. IMHO the only credible contender dropped out.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Are there not women only waiting rooms at railway stations?

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Surely women only carriages would be discrimination?

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

we have ladies toilets, unisex toilets, ladies/men/unisex showers

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

People don't tend to change clothes, shower, bathe or go to the toilet in a train carriage...

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

I'm not aware of any..

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

There are "Chinese only" trains due to cultural differences with Europeans (link) , so why not women only? But thinking about it, this might not be necessary, if we arm the train guards (link)

We can always give Corbyn credit for the above fine ideas.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

I don't think there are many: here's a few Google throws up:

Not even sure if they are still there but when they were introduced, I can't remember any fuss being made in the media

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

:D

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

We do have a unisex open air toilet in London's Soho. I should know as l have used it myself, and it quite amusing when a woman comes along and uses the one next to you.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

If this is all they've got against Corbyn (even though its not something he suggested !), then he's home and dry.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Er... I don't think this is the only thing! Have you been reading the newspapers lately? Character assassination now well under way!

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Corbyn will commit his own 'assassination' once he gets elected. Good luck to him. :tu:

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

when I started travelling up to the city of London many years ago there used to be ladies only carriages

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

You're going back a bit there, jodash! It would be politically incorrect nowadays and bring about the full wrath of the feminist brigade.

Poor Corbyn, he really doesn't have a clue and if he is elected as Leader of the Opposition, he will soon find out (the hard way) how credible his arguments were. I wish I could do something to prevent him from walking straight into this impending car crash...it's so cruel really.

:D

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

Betamax surely.:D

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

I fully expect Labour under Corbyn to emulate that format's longevity... :D

Incidentally, what's Corbyn planning to do with all the dirty coal they'll be mining under his new regime? Aside from the vast cost involved in reopening mines (even if it's possible) clean coal technology isn't cheap so the cost will have to be passed onto consumers or taxpayers or both.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

"Clean coal" has never been successfully deployed on a commercial scale. The very name is Orwellian - coal is not clean. Making it something approaching "clean" is, and will always be, vastly inefficient and expensive. A bit like British Coal really, so perhaps that's the idea.

Re: Corbyn Considers Women-Only Train Carriages
 

A bit like every Labour govt. I can remember too! ;)
