Harriet Harman explains why she wants to toughen the law for men who kill unfaithful wives and soften the law for wives who kill violent husbands

Surely this is a dangerous road to go down?

[Chris Keating]

Makes perfect sense to me.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Then you are as twisted as Harman.

If I kill this woman because she's an idiot, what's my defence?

Incidentally, if this law doesn't work the other way around - i.e. husbands killing abusive wives - then that's grounds for the HoL to quash it right there and then.

You've got to feel sorry for Jack Dromey sometimes.

This will of course be a guaranteed vote winner in the white working class areas Labour has such problems with - along with Harriet's plans to stop white men getting jobs and to keep the on demand medical slaughter of children at 20-24 week gestation legal.

She's a genius.

This is what you get when a militant and hypocritical feminist is 'minding the shop'.

"There's never any justification, however painful things are in a relationship, for a man to say, 'It's not my fault I killed her, it's her fault'."

I quite agree...but replace 'man' with 'woman', and it doesn't become a different moral issue. Woman beating is one fo the most disgusting things a man can do, but to allow premeditated murder in this way is obscene.

I note the fervour in her voice in the last fifteen seconds or so. It's actually quite scary. I'm sad to say that she is one of the few politicians, of whatever colour, that I dislike on a personal level.
