With a leadership contest coming up, to whom exactly is this bit of virtue signalling aimed at, apart from the converted? Jeremy Corbyn has called for an end to after-work drinks, claiming the practice discriminates against women.And there's your answer. If it's a man thing it has to be ushered out of existence. Corbyn said companies should discourage “early evening socialisation”, as it benefits men “who don’t feel the need to be at home looking after their children”. The Labour leader made the remarks at an evening event to win women voters over, which was followed by a drinks party.Followed by a drinks party??? Ok, so where are the real victims in all this? The Times’ political editor said the Labour leader’s intervention on after-work socials “manages to offend everyone”.
Matt Chorley told LBC: “So he manages to offend almost everyone by suggesting that being at home with your children is a job for women and that dads aren’t bothered about seeing their children these days. They’re the ones that are quite happy about being in the pub.”
Corbyn’s stance may prove popular beyond women, however, as activists have argued in the past that after-work drinks are unfair to Muslims, who choose not to drink on the basis of their religion.www.breitbart.com/london/2016/09/02/corbyn-work-drinks-sexist/Aha, there it is: after-work drinks are unfair to MuslimsWell, this is the liberal UK, they'd best get used to it. It's a part of our culture.
