    Lots of big potential trade deals there.

    Mordor is always interested in military tech.

    Westeros are having agricultural aggro, what with
    a dragon having roasted nearly all of House
    Tyrells' granary stocks and winter now finally here.

    You've paid attention to the news for the past week, haven't you?

    In comparison, Stephen Lees didn't even get coverage in the Croydon Advertiser, let alone the national press.

    Absolutely no doubt as to his guilt, but he still plead not guilty anyway and he avoided any time in jail, yet he still moaned about it.

    Minimum of five years for that charge, apparently. Didn't do a day.
    No admission of any fault and he clearly thinks that he didn't do anything wrong, but the jury were at fault.
    What a ****er.

    So you are saying that if I had paid attention,
    I would be aware of diligently researched lists
    online for the three main UK political parties ??

    I'm saying that if I media paid attention and actually did their job properly, rather than do their job when it suited them or the job they were told to do for reasons other than doing their job properly, then people wouldn't have to compile lists that shatter their Narratives to smithereens in the first place.

    So your answer is actually :

    No, there is no such list for all the main
    political parties. There is one though for the
    Tories that several people appear to have
    spent some time meticulously compiling.

    The Tories probably made it themselves. They like doing that sort of thing.

    Actually, what I'm saying is that there's an easy to find list - just type "antisemitism" into Google and, surprise surprise, the entire front page is about Labour.

    And, no, this isn't an exaggeration - I tried to Google the Bishop's Stortford councillor so I could put a name to that entry, and I literally had an entire page of "Labour antisemitism" search results in front of me. That says just how many journalists are doing the job they're told to do, rather than the job they're supposed to do - case in point (again) Stephen Lees, who wasn't even recorded in the local paper, which obviously has nothing to do with Coulsdon being in Croydon South, which is up there with Tunbridge Wells and Leamington Spa in the Tory safe seat stakes.

    Sadly like much of Big Business (TM) , they don't
    like widely sharing their "Business intelligence"
    nor the source data from which it is derived. :)

    So what you are saying is that if I type
    "antisemitism" into Google, I will find a list of
    Labour / Lib Dem / Tory politniks accused /
    convicted of anti-semitic acts.

    No, as I clearly said you'll see Labour and/or Corbyn mentioned in every result, but not a single mention of the Tories, Lib Dems, or - and I am being 100% serious when I say this - the ****ing Nazi Party.

    Is that any surprise, given how the mighty PageRank
    algorithm actually works ??

    Yes, actually, considering the Nazis had an 85-year head start...

    On building web pages about anti-semitism that
    everyone else links / linked to ??

    I have heard notions of Nazi attempts to rewrite history,
    but that is nothing compared to the deceit that
    Tim Berners-Lee may have committed.

  15. Do you honestly think that the Tories, SNP or LibDems wouldn’t get their hound dogs working on a similar list of shame? No, thought not......

    There’s dirt across the board, as was shown during the expenses scandal, but it does appear that the Tories top the list. At least that’s one competition they could win with a convincing majority <laugh>

    Oh dear (again) .

    The statement was that the Tory "list of shame" :

    1. appears to have been diligently researched
    2. may be widely known (ie how hbic came across it)


    The "suggestion" is that without similar lists to hand for
    all the main political parties, is the Tory list notable or
    exceptional ??

    Fraud? Come on, that's a qualification to become an MP/Councillor, not an offence. It's the norm, isn't it? Whatever political colour one might be.

    Yes, but you're not supposed to get caught. Very amateurish.
