Which one is the Gentleman?

David Cameron's rude outburst about Jeremy Corbyn's mother suggests that perhaps he should have a good look at his own mother and brush up on his manners.

Did she encourage such behaviour when he was growing up?

Maybe he should spend a little time reflecting on the way he acts as our Prime Minister before his own children think that this is acceptable, as he obviously does.

Consider...
David Cameron comes from a privileged background went to a public school, married into the aristocracy, acts with abysmally bad manners and hostility in Parliament, and hurls personal insults at the Opposition.

Jeremy Corbyn comes from an ordinary background, went to a grammar school, married commoners, acts with courtesy and restraint in Parliament, and never indulges in personal insults.

I have spoken to Jeremy Corbyn, I wonder if David Cameron would speak to the likes of me?

Eton and being fellated by pigs will do that to you.

I hate to think of what goes on at the Bullingdon Club or the Scull and Bones at Yale.

Quick edit: Corbyn is more of a gentleman ...

Well it ain't Corbyn ... at least I have not thought so since reading
Jeremy Corbyn “showed off” a naked Diane Abbott to impress his Left-wing friends when he was a young Labour activist

It does have the ring of truth .. added to his dubious associates he is a bit of a nasty slimebag.

David Cameron is a spiteful & petulant little man who indulges in personal attacks, not what I would expect of a leader of any party never mind the leader of the country.

Re: Which one is the Gentleman?

I thought Cameron was retaliating after a Corbyn and a labour heckler brought up the subject of Cameron's mother..

As Corbyn highlighted the problems with Cameron’s own local health service, he asked the Prime Minister: “Will the chair of the Oxfordshire anti-austerity campaign be writing a letter to himself?”
At which point Labour MPs heckled at Cameron, “ask your mother", in light of the news last week that Cameron’s own mother signed a petition campaigning to save cuts to local services.
In response Mr Cameron hit back: "I think I know what my mother would say, I think she'd look across the Despatch Box say 'put on a proper suit, do up your tie and sing the national anthem!'

So none of them were behaving in a gentlemanly way letting the debate get personal not Corbyn who started it Cameron who retaliated...
