'bunch of scum, homophobic, racist, misogynistic, absolute pile'

Angela Rayner at the Labour Party Conference last night: 'We cannot get any worse than a bunch of scum, homophobic, racist, misogynistic, absolute pile …of banana republic…Etonian…piece of scum…and I held back a little…that I have ever seen in my life”

sheds water without ever doing anything productive in response.
