Jeremy Corbyn

I think you have to have respect for other people and you have to make sure you don't go out to be offensive to people on the basis of their religion or their faith or ethnicity or whatever.

But I do think you have to be prepared to go out and assert yourself.

There's a difference there.

And I would absolutely condemn people shouting offensive slogans on a march.

I mean, it's a different issue.

But I remember 1980, 81 period, when the Labour Party organised quite a lot of marches for jobs around the country.

And I remember a march in Liverpool.

a group of people started shouting, actually, basically, a lot of horrible, sexist stuff against Margaret Thatcher.

A number of us intervened and said, no, we shouldn't be doing that.

Why not?

And it became quite a big heated argument.

Why can't we say what we like about Thatcher?

And we said, well, look, I disagree profoundly and totally with Margaret Thatcher's economic vision.

But it's not because she's a woman.

So May Day's already passed.

May Day has passed.

I've missed the march.

It happened in other places.

It started at Prenton Park on the Wirral.

It was in the election campaign, 2017.
