" Ken Livingstone was yesterday forced to apologise after urging a shadow minister with depression to seek psychiatric help. Jeremy Corbyn urged Mr Livingstone to apologise , the former London Mayor called frontbencher Kevan Jones "disturbed" for raising questions about the party's credibility on nuclear defence. "I think he might need some psychiatric help. He's obviously very depressed and disturbed," Mr Livingstone said. "He should pop off and see his GP before he makes these offensive comments." Livingstone first refused to apologise but reluctantly relented when Corbyn insisted. He's a bit of a cunt ain't he " Another one who thinks it's cool to make friends with terrorists, sorry freedom fighters | |||

Livingstone first refused to apologise but reluctantly relented when Corbyn insisted. He's a bit of a cunt ain't he " The interview with Ken Livingston that was broadcast on LBC news was cringe worthy. He refused to apologise off his own bat then an hour later put a full public apology on twitter because Corbyn told him to. 
To hurl insults about mental health issues aimed at someone suffering with his mental health tells you all you need to know about Ken.....and this is the 'new nicer politics' from the Labour party apparently? | |||

"Are we not allowed to make a comment about someone, until we have researched their entire health record, in case we offend them? That's just mental." Judgemental? yeah! | |||

"Are we not allowed to make a comment about someone, until we have researched their entire health record, in case we offend them? That's just mental." The chap who was called the name bravely stood up in Parliment and described his struggles not so long ago so it was common knowledge. So in this context Livingstone was having a personal dig. | |||

"Are we not allowed to make a comment about someone, until we have researched their entire health record, in case we offend them? That's just mental." No research was needed in this case. The man the Jibes were aimed stood up in parliament and declared he suffered from mental health issues not long ago. Livingstone was just being a cunt. | |||

"People have to accept that certain phrases/insults are not commonplace and not deliberately aimed at someone because of their real issues that are more than likely not known to the person using them. Can we please have a definitive list of what is and is not acceptable? So I can ignore it." My list would start with. If you know someone suffers with mental health issues if they should happen to disagree with don't say you are obviously depressed go and seek phsichiactric help. | |||

"a strom in a tea-cup really innit, the extreme right on this thread would do better to concentrate on the obnoxious policies the cabinet are implementing that is dragging this country down." A storm in a teacup enough to warrant Corbyn, a recognised activist for mental health issues, to publicly demand Livingstone's apology. Obviously JC didn't see it as a 'joke' or well intended medical advice from KL. | |||

You are making assumptions about my view on Ken by your view on me.
You have no idea of my views on him.
If you read what Ken said it is obvious it was a personal attack on this mans battle with depression.
No! It isn't obvious at all! As I said, you could use the phrase about anyone. It's just unfortunate he used it about him. Had he been aware of the man's issues, I think it's "obvious" he wouldn't have said it. Livingstone isn't stupid. He knows not to knowingly insult someone's real problems. You are presuming he was aware.
But livingstone is just a convenient man to hate, its water offa ducks back to him.
He has form on this.
It's not the first time he has behaved in such a manner.
Just read what he said. It's not an off the cuff remark or a slip off the tongue. It is an attack on a person who disagrees with him. Watch the interview, it's obvious he knew what he was saying.
I've seen the interview. It's not a comment that you can possibly say could only be targeted at someone with real mental health issues. Its a JOKE, that could be directed at anyone. But there's none so blind as will not see eh?"In deep there is not!! | |||

"I'm a long-term admirer of Ken, who thinks his comments yesterday were incredibly disappointing - whether they were deliberately aimed or not. Neither do I think his apology was either heartfelt or addressed the issue. The stigmatising of people with mental health problems should be dealt with in the same manner as racism, sexism etc; Hope he's ashamed."
That's pretty much my feeling to. | |||

"Oh for Christs sake he isn't,and wasn't anti Semitic.And neither were his comments. I'm almost getting annoyed." So defending an MP who thinks The population of Israel should all be deported isn't anti-Semitic? Who wrote your dictionary? Goebels? Mengele? Hitler himself? Of course it is anti-Semitic. As were his other comments given directly on a radio interview. I am no lover of the media putting a spin on things but in this case they didn't have to....his comments were given live on air and can be heard directly in his own words. He has always been a first class dickwad....but he has taken it to another level today. I suppose at least his mate Jeremy acted more quickly this time, rather than dragging his heels until virtually forced to act. | |||

"The context of the thread has(obviously)changed in light of comments and press respond today. Shah was anti israeli(government),as is the UN basically.she didn't post anything even vaguely anti Semitic on her facebook page. Livingstone has not said Hitler was pro Jewish,or whatever the second poster today said(I'm on my phone so hard to check with ease). He said that hitler was Zionist.he was wrong.he meant Eichmann.who was a Zionist.and an anti Semite. Ken saying that doesn't mean he's anti Semitic. Anti Semitic means anti Jewish. Zionist(or the moat popular meaning) means wanting to found a Jewish state or homeland.ie isreal. Eichmann investigates doing this in the early to.mid thirties,therefore he was unambiguously a zionist,yet at the same time being a disgusting anti Semite.the two things are not mutually exclusive.the words (semite/anti semite/zionist)have completely different meanings. Livingstone also said hitler went crazy and killed six million Jews.that in no way contradicts him saying that Hitler(when he meant Eichmann et al)was a Zionist." Shah said the Jews not zionists , she said what hitter did was legal. I have no problem in branding her an anti Semite nor do I have a problem calling Ken one. I am concerned why Corbyn seems very slow to act when confronted by racists in his party. | |||

"Shah said Jews should be marched to the USA. That is anti Semitic. She should never been chosen to stand as an MP with those views. " I haven't seen that.i have only seen the image of what she posted on her facebook page,which made no mention of that. Where did she say the thing about marching? | |||

"The context of the thread has(obviously)changed in light of comments and press respond today. Shah was anti israeli(government),as is the UN basically.she didn't post anything even vaguely anti Semitic on her facebook page. Livingstone has not said Hitler was pro Jewish,or whatever the second poster today said(I'm on my phone so hard to check with ease).

Well maybe Ken should learn his history. Hitler did not suddenly go crazy and turn on the Jews after 1932, he wrote a book about his feelings towards them in 1925 and it's quite clear. To say otherwise is a lie and one has to wonder what kind of politician feels a need to lie on behalf of Hitler. | |||

"Oh for Christs sake he isn't,and wasn't anti Semitic.And neither were his comments. I'm almost getting annoyed. Saying hitler was a zionist? No. I'll informed people saying Corbyn is an anti semite.ridiculous. Who has said he was? Polka did just above my comment.as have others. No I never, you're beginning to make things up now. You said 'hr has long been regarding as an anti semite'. May not have been what you intended it to mean,but its very easy,looking at the phrasing and the semantics of the words used,ro not even have to think about inferring that you were indicating that you think he is an anti Semite. " Ken has long been regarded as an anti Semite. The clue about who I was referring to is in the thread title | |||

"Oh for Christs sake he isn't,and wasn't anti Semitic.And neither were his comments. I'm almost getting annoyed." his comments were crass, downright not necessary and inacurate given the nature of Naz Shah's comments what did he think he was doing..? he's been around long enough to know how to deflect a question or to answer it diplomatically given her pending investigation he should and could have done better.. | |||

"Shock as socialist holds anti semetic views!! Why would socialists necessarily hold anti-semitic views? Indeed socialism has often (just as ridiculously) between described as a Zionist plot through history. Socialists have long held links with anti Semitic groups. This is not to say all socialists are anti Semitic but is is a believe that many of them hold. As have conservatives and a wide range of other ignorant cretins...?" Yes | |||

To paraphrase livingstone "Socialists should learn thier history" "Nice, trite and condescending answer which takes a fairly narrow interpretation of history to make a silly point. Thanks. | |||

The comment by you said that ken was anti Semitic. I pointed this out. You said you hadn't said he was anti semitic. I said you had.and qouted you saying so. You now say something nebulous about what the thread title is. You said he was anti Semitic,even though you then go on to say you hadn't. I'm saying you did. The thread title is both broadly relevant and irrelevant in the context of you stating your opinion that he is anti Semitic. | |||
