Ignoring this sort of behaviour legitimises it.

Should we ignore Jeremy Corbyn’s gaffes, just because he always does them?

I didn't say it should be ignored. I said it was ill advised but not a particularly big deal. May didn't ignore it and he replied as he always does. Nothing surprising there at all and there's no reason to turn it into some sort of major incident which is what certain sections of the media and Westminster would quite like.
