The socialist wing in the Nazis was gradually sidelined and effectively eliminated in the Night of the Long Knives. Norman must remember that as he probably took part in it.

Nah, the SA were about as far from socialist as you could get. They were mainly ex soldiers that used to go around knocking shit out of communists with batons.

 

There's nothing socialist about the Nazis. They were backed by rich industrialists, nationalistic, formed out of a profound hatred for communism.

Ernst Rohm leader of the SA was a strange character , he would happily kick shit out of Jews and communists yet he would support striking workers and attack strike breakers....

But to say he or his followers were socialist is pushing it a bit

A little clarification on Luciana Berger "needing Police protection in the Conference".

She was one of several people assigned additional protection outside the Conference.  There's no comment on the nature or origin of any potential threat to her security (although she has previously been subject of a campaign of threats and intimidation from Nazis).  There was no protection assigned inside the Conference, where she continued about her business in perfect safety.

Some headlines about a 'Jewish fringe event' being called off because of a bomb scare. 

 

Dig down though and it's an, erm, pro Corbyn Jewish group. 

 

I was in that neck of the woods on Tuesday and there was a placard saying 'antisemitism was sent by god to divide jews and everyone else because jews are god's chosen people'. 

 

I was outraged I tell ya, outraged.

Yeah, it was a film-showing in support of Jackie Walker: a Jewish activist booted out of the party because  (apparently) she's anti-Semitic. 

 

There's no evidence yet of who made the threat, so no doubt the media will keep quiet until more facts emerge - y'know, just like they did when a window was damaged in Wallasey a couple of years ago.

If I understood irony, I would say it was deeply ironic that an organisation which downplays antisemitism in the Labour Party was itself the subject of an antisemitic bomb hoax (which is, of course, no less disgraceful for that).

Pestons take on Corbyns comments on Europe and what it might mean.

 

The olive branch has extended to could save or destroy her. Just to be clear, his offer is what some in her cabinet, and many on her benches, in Whitehall, in Brussels and in EU capitals have been mooting as a Brexit compromise that would solve both..

Replying to

obtain parliamentary approval. But perhaps 100 of her Brexiter MPs would never vote for it. They might even quit the Tory Party rather than be associated with it. So Corbyn has set May up to choose between a negotiated Brexit and splitting her party. Which sets up...
 
 
 
 
...next week’s Tory conference as perhaps the most important of the modern era. Because it may determine both what kind of Brexit she can negotiate and whether the Tory party can survive any kind of negotiated Brexit

Some may say "downplay"; others may say "treat with the right sense of perspective".
