Tory MP calls people sheltering from extreme heat ‘cowards and snowflakes’

  1. I encourage him to go get drunk and do something manual in the sun for hours. Prove to us we’re cowards unless you’re a coward.

  2. Tories yet again openly showing the complete disdain, borderline hatred, they feel towards this country and its citizens.

    The quicker they are relegated to the history books the better.

  3. he knows a large part of the tory voter-base is the elderly who’ll be more susceptible to the heat right :/

    the contempt doesn’t even make political sense

  4. He should go out and prove them wrong, with his supporters to join him. He can go to where it will be ~43C and stay out there from at least 11-3 with minimal protection and see what happens.

  5. The fat twat. He’s our local Councillor. A friend of mine worked in the same bulding as him for years and said he’s an entitled nasty, mildly racist, cunt.

  6. Fucking sociopaths. Reminds me of that cartoon of the wolf politician saying “I’m going to eat you,” and the sheep saying approvingly “He tells it like it is.”

  7. Please tell me we have a camera crew following him around the next few days? As he avoids cool air conditioned places?

    It’s typical class hatred from the Tory party.

  8. >Sir John Hayes – who chairs the ‘Common Sense Group’ of Tory MPs 

    “The problem with common sense is that it is not all that common.”

    Albert Einstien.

    These ‘Parlimentary groups’ get tax payers funding. Money for old rope.

  9. From a member of the same government that has issued a heat warning to it’s citizens telling them to avoid the heat and exercise care ????????

  10. this comment coupled with the fact he looks as if he’s the sort of guy who’d stare at the sun to prove his masculinity says it all

  11. As another Redditor has said but the comment escapes me, “imagine thinking you’re tougher than the Sun”

  12. I’m sitting in my bedroom preparing for an interview tomorrow, and despite having my fan blowing on full power it’s really only blowing warm air at me.

    I live in a semi detached house with greenery well around me, I shudder to think how hot people living high up in council flats are right now.

  13. God I hate these bastards. Bet they all own big houses with air conditioning too.

    Would love to put them to work in 39 degree heat and see how long they make it before they get heatstroke and die.

  14. These are such strange comments for anyone to make – except possibly a comedian. For any MP to say this is just really weird. Wtf is going wrong with our leaders.

  15. Absolute scumbags. If they win again, I’m advocating for full Welsh independence. Cause anything is better than this lot.

  16. I live in Vancouver and the heatwave is no joke. Last year in the city it was 40c+ for almost a week. Hundreds of people died, one of the town literally burned down after it hit nearly 50c.

    Local government opened up a bunch of cooling centers, libraries, malls, anywhere with AC really for folks to take shelter in.

    It’s not cowardice when people lives are on the line.

  17. That fat fuck will spend the days in aircon drinking chilled white wine.

    The cunt. Hope someone fucks the electrics to the HOC and particularly his fucking house.

    Lets see how the fat cunt does then. If he lives, he might lose a few pounds.

  18. Let’s stake him out in the middle of a field and leave him there all day.

    Nothing to do with the weather, I just think that’s what should happen to Torys

  19. What’s that? A glistening pustule who draws £50k a year from an oil company for doing nothing says climate change doesn’t exist and we should all pretend it’s all ok? Stop the fucking presses. Hopefully to demonstrate just how tough he is he’ll take it upon himself to go for a 20 mile walk without water tomorrow.
