Breaking anti-Semitism news on 18:53 - Dec 7 by exiledclaseboy | Ah yeah. Solid labour. You have free reign to cast a vote for neither safe in the knowledge that it won’t matter. Not a bad position to be in to be honest. |
What’s the point? | |

Satisfaction? Yow know that one of the few things we agree on is the undemocratic nature of the UK’s electoral system. | |

The thrill of the illicit? Vote for somebody truly awful in the knowledge that it won’t matter then dash home as quick as you can to wind up an achingly Liberal daughter. I could probably manage that I suppose. | |

Breaking anti-Semitism news on 18:56 - Dec 7 by exiledclaseboy | I read an interesting titbit the other day about anti semitic tropes in Boris Johnson’s one and only novel from around the early 2000s. Can’t remember the details but dismissed it as it can’t be true because Bluey would have told us all by now. |

Oh come on Mart, snakes don’t blink, therefore “like an unblinking snake” is terrible writing. | |

I'd be interested to see the full tweet chain the the quotes themselves. Seen people claiming the novel is racist due to n word being used - yet the section containing those is a monologue of an immigrant traffic warden going through what he'd been told, the abuse directed at immigrants. Only things I'd pick up on that would be "proud nose" and the "eyes like snake" bits. The rest are nothing really to do with the ethnicity. EDIT: Thought the name rang a bell. You failed to mention la belle Lukes is a Labour councillor. http://islingtonnow.co.uk/labour-councillor-raises-antisemitic-concerns-at-the-o https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1139264319512879105.html Yeah, maybe not the best source.

Ah, JVL. The same JVL that contains many non-Jews. The same JVL with members expelled from Labour for antisemitism. The reason the media didn't report their counter protest was that it contained a whopping 37 people attending it... | | | |

Care to explain this? Why isn’t the Rabbi attacking Boris over this? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-book-jews-control-m | |

Breaking anti-Semitism news on 13:23 - Dec 11 with 926 views | Ebo | An old friend of mine and someone who was pivotal in my career posted this morning on Facebook. She’s a Jew whose own parents survived the holocaust. "President Trump will sign an executive order defining Judaism as a nationality, not just a religion, thus bolstering the Education Department's efforts to stamp out "Boycott Israel" movements on college campuses https://nyti.ms/2P97cuv" I am now physically sick. As in vomiting sick. This is as anti-American as it gets. Judaism is not a nationality. For some, it's not religion. For a few of us, Israel is nothing more than a Military Nation State not representing anything Jewish. | |
