I think it's genuinely disgusting.
The sexist 'silly cow insult was bad enough, but using someone's baby daughter is disgusting, and I don't know who said it, or what party they're from, it's pathetic.
It's all well and good saying it's 'water off a duck's back', and luckily it seems Graham has a tough skin, but that's not the point.
If you're going to attract good people into public office, they shouldn't have to put up with that. Yes you're going to have to be tough, and defend your politics, but you shouldn't have to fend off sexist, or offensive insults to your loved ones.
If some of this reported abuse was happening in a normal workplace, people would be dismissed.
As you said earlier Neil, it would be productive for the people who elected them, if councillors would work together, and that won't be helped by these nasty verbal attacks.
Pathetic.
