«Breaking News» Uproar in Iceland as six drunken MPs recorded describing female ministers as 'clapped-out bags'

A group of Icelandic MPs were secretly recorded using sexist and obscene language about female colleagues.

The six MPs, including former prime minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, decided to go out drinking rather than listen to a debate on the budget.

They spent three hours at the bar called Klaustur in Reykjavik, and a person nearby recorded their conversation.

The MPs were heard rating female colleagues on how 'f***able' or 'non-f****able', they were also heard describing female ministers as 'clapped-out bags.'

Former foreign minister Gunnar Bragi Sveinsson, who is known for being a champion of women's rights, is heard laughing at domestic abuse allegations levelled against a former MP and mocking someone else for coming forward as part of the #MeToo campaign.

The political career of another woman is also questioned because she is 'not as hot this year.' 

Culture minister Lilija Dogg Alfredsdottir is also targeted, with one of the men saying 'she plays with men, as women do.' 

Freyja Haraldsdottir, who is disabled, was also spoken about and called an 'island'- with the reference a possible jibe at her wheelchair that allows her to lie flat.

The recording has caused uproar in Iceland, a country that has a female prime minister, Katrin Jakobsdottir, and has topped World Economic Forum's index for gender equality for several years. 

Haraldsdottir, received an apology from Gunnlaugsson, but told The New York Times, that without action, it was an empty gesture.

She said: 'The MPs don't consider what they did a violation,

'That is the message they send by not resigning. And it hurts as much as the actual act.'

She added, 'My body has been on everyone's lips in the past days, and I find it very uncomfortable. I wonder what impact this will have on me and other disabled people, like disabled children.'

Alfresdottir has also called for the resignation of the MPs last week, she said: 'I experience this as violence...they are thugs.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
