I'm surprised no one has said this before -

But surely the correct response to being called a "silly cow" should have been "that's a strange comment from someone who talks so much bull".

NOTE - smilies just for Jaysay

Ok I will get my coat

As I said earlier, Cllr. McCormack needs to toughen up a bit and learn to give as good as she gets. If she runs off in tears everytime someone says something mildly critical to her she is going to get nowhere, fast.

I refer to both men and women as tarts, if I call it a women am I being sexist and not if I call it a man?

He does he bullies me and you lot let him.

actually I don't think you ever have thinking about it, is their a reason why ? unfair treatment on here again

everyone else gets called a t... apart from me.

You've made a good point. I don't know why it comes across as sexist to me neil. I think it's cos he said about string four words together first, then called her a silly cow. It just comes across to me as he's saying she doesn't know what she's on about cos she's a woman.

Silly tart is usually used quite jokingly I think but silly cow is usually a put down. In my opinion of course, your interpretation may be different. As I'm sure Cllr Britcliffes will be.

Cllr Britcliffe can't possibly have an interpretation because the words aren't in his vocabulary

Critical? no wonder we end up with what we do if councillors think calling the proposer a silly cow is criticising the proposal.

Cllr. McCormick - What's wrong with keeping the name of hyndburn

Cllr Britcliffe - er it's being proposed by woman who you can't string four words together and she's a silly cow

Cllr Jones - you can't say that Britcliffe you sexist bully

Cllr Britcliffe - Oh yes I can

Cllr. McCormick - oh no you can't

Cllr Britcliffe - Oh yes I can

Cllr. McCormick - oh no you can't

What happened in the end anyway did the item get moooved.

Has it possibly occured to anyone that the object of Mr Britcliffe's observations may well be a silly cow, incapable of stringing a sentance togeather? It is, afterall, a trait not uncommon. My estimate is that it is one pocessed by 99% of all women.
