Can we just remove them from the road please?

These Board Of Deputies meetings must be dull as fuck though. Because, just after pops told his "joke" the chair of the meeting hastily reminded him that the meeting was being live streamed. She mustn't of wanted people to think that they tell jokes in these meetings. That's why she butted in. Honest.

It's the tedious, entirely transparent, pretence that he's being "fair and balanced" that is so boring. 

It's beyond fucking nonsense. I'm going to have to bust out the Phil Collins caps in a minute.

Hating Corbyn is mainstream. Most people at my work do.

Most people would agree.  The difference comes in how you define "extremist". We live in a country in which we are routinely told that an extremist is someone who espouses progressive taxation and nationalisation of utilities and public services  (to a degree that appeals to the Tory burghers of Guildford), peace and justice in Israel/Palestine and a foreign policy that isn't "bomb first, think later".

Peter Willsman has been suspended from Labour for telling the truth about Joan Ryan. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

So it's antisemitic now to be suspicious of a Labour MP who was caught on camera discussing a payment of £1 million from the Israeli embassy with an employee of said embassy who discussed (again, on camera) how he could "bring down" Labour MPs?

 

Maybe the IHRA could do a definition of what isn't antisemitism? It would be easier as the list of what is is getting longer and more perverse by the day.

What was he suspended for?

Another neg. Ha. I stand by my no comeback point. What a daft cunt.

It wasn't anything really bad, like voting Lib Dem. Just the usual Jewish conspiracy nonsense.

It’s almost certain who is behind all this antisemitism against Jeremy: almost certainly, it was the Israeli embassy.

“They caught somebody in the Labour party who it turns out is an agent in the embassy.”

 

(erm... he’s not wrong, is he?)

 

 

According to LBC, Willsman made the comments in January when he met theAmerican-Israeli author Tuvia Tenenbom, who was in the UK to write a book about the British and was seeking an interview with Corbyn. Tenenbom recorded the conversation.

Tenenbom pressed Willsman for proof the Israeli embassy was directing attacks against the Labour party. In comments Willsman said were “off the record”, he said: “The people that are in the Labour party doing it are people who are linked. One of them works indirectly with the embassy. So obviously, I wouldn’t be bothered to find out, but my guess would be they are the ones whipping it up all the time.”

 

 

this is antisemitic?

[moof]

Any word on why the recording wasn’t released in January?

I think the bit about the rich hating Corbyn and then swiftly moving to Jews may be more problematic. The whole cabal thing.

News released today about GP surgeries closing at the highest level ever not mentioned on BBC on either Politics or Health pages. Take a guess what the top Politics headline is.

 

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/may/31/gp-surgery-closures-in-uk-hit-all-time-high-in-2018

 

GP surgery closures across the UK have reached an all-time high, affecting an estimated half a million patients last year, research has found. An investigation by the medical website Pulse found 138 doctors’ premises shut their doors in 2018, compared with 18 in 2013.

GPs said under-resourcing and recruitment difficulties were forcing surgeries to close. 

 

Pulse calculated that last year’s closures affected about 519,500 patients. Thirty-one of the 138 surgery closures in 2018 came as a result of mergers, the figures showed, which affected an estimated 161,126 patients.

Aye, mad init. Top news story everywhere. I couldn’t even listen to classic fm earlier in the car without hearing about it. 

 

Clear agenda at play, it’s impossible to deny.
