What made her think it was ok to say it ?

It is the most vile joke you could hear.

Because she possesses that self-belief that only lack of thought confers?

new cars don't have ashtrays

The sheer arrogance & ignorance to repeat that 'joke' on live tv is breathtaking.

Have these people no social awareness?

yet more evidence if any is needed that 208 women mp,s is about 200 to many,they queue up daily to prove who,s the dimmest  on live tv

I still can hardly believe she said Andrew Neil would find the joke funny. WTF was she thinking?!

That woman is a loathesome man hating arrogant d-o-a-b. Just awful, she's one part of New Labour that won't be missed, the sort of woman that gives feminism a bad name, so many times she's been offensive.

To tell the joke as an example of a bad joke is bad, but at least you can argue there was maybe a point, to make a little nasty quip that Neil would be ok with is just vicious and offensive and far worse. I was only half watching but saw Neil get angry and when she wouldn't shut up, he told her to be quiet. I've since read the transcript. She's just awful. Lefties like her pigeon holing people and telling them what they believe is very common..

And the thing is it's the new hard left that are flooded with anti semites. As one of them said earlier, Corbyn snubbed that memorial thing for the Balfour Declaration that lead to the establishment of Israel. He'd probably attend one for the IRA though ..

It involved cars ashtrays and jews, google it.

All the newspapers are repeating it, so it's readily available. Here's the politically neutral currant bun, so Anxios can come on and say "Murdoch Tory Spiv paper" :)

seemingly its all in her book, as is the second "joke" she seemed intent on telling before neil shut her up

it should have been followed by a monty python hook dragging her off the set

what was she trying to do?  we all know what passed as humour back then

a seriously misguided attempt to peddle tat?

Oh how I do love that sweet sickly smell of condescending moral superiority, often accompanied by breathtaking hypocrisy, when spoken by luvvies, politicians and assorted celebrities.

Was an unbelievably bad taste 'joke' to retell irrespective of her saying she didn't find it funny but to try and smear AN at the same time was despicable.
Would think he'd give her both barrels after the cameras stopped rolling.

Corbyn really is the heir to Oswald Mosley.

Both brought up in huge houses in the country. Both privately educated. Both dropped out of higher education without completing the course. Both served as Labour MPs. Both intensely comfortable with colleagues who hate Jewish people.

Lest we forget, here's Corbyn in his role as host on Iranian state TV. He sat silently as guests demanded the destruction of Israel. He received £20,000 from the Islamic Republic of Iran for this.
