It appears to be a standard format for posts around here.

 

A invents a scenario, confidently states how B would react in that completely fictitious scenario and then criticises B for reacting that way.

 

(A Red did it to me a couple of days ago on this thread.)

 

 

Stop being precious you big tart. I said

 

To be fair, if he conducted an interview slouched in his chair with his knob hanging out, dribbling and speaking in tongues, you'd be "nothing to see here"

 

I was quite obviously taking the piss out of your love for Jeremy. It was light hearted, I really dont believe you would say that and you are being a bit silly by thinking I do.

It was a piss take, I was busting his balls. I fully expected him to have the intelligence to see it was a piss take.

I'm a liberal, not a hard left socialist. Shouldn't be hard to work it out.

Which  of these policies do you consider "hard left"?

I see Clare Short is a massive anti-Semite, too.

Anti-Semitism accusations are misplaced

A letter in the Financial Times

From Rt Hon Clare Short, London, UK, 25 July 2019

 

I was very surprised by your unbalanced editorial (“Anti-Semitism in Labour disfigures British politics’’, July 23 – see below) on anti-Semitism in the Labour party. The root of this problem is the growing awareness of the injustice and suffering inflicted by Israel on the Palestinians. In the face of this, and given Jeremy Corbyn’s history on the question, supporters of Israel have worked to extend the definition of anti-Semitism to include criticism of Israel. For example, the accusation of anti-Semitism is regularly thrown at people who support Boycott Divestment and Sanctions and argue that Israel should be held to the requirements of international law.

 

I think it is possible that some who feel strongly about the suffering of the Palestinians may make anti-Semitic remarks and should be held to account, but the research evidence is clear that anti-Semitism in the UK is rare and prejudice against Muslims is extensive, and both attitudes are concentrated on the right. What I have read of the reasons for suspension and expulsion from Labour in some of the notorious cases do not amount to anti-Semitism.

 

There is no doubt that Labour has handled the question in a muddled and hopeless manner. But no one, including the FT and those in the Labour party who hurl these accusations around, should allow the definition to be extended in this way. It is a false accusation when it extends to criticism of Israel. Its effect is to frighten people and prevent discussion of Israel’s cruelty to the Palestinians and grave breaches of international law and the geopolitical consequences of the west’s lack of commitment to international law on this question.
