I agree. Now as I said earlier, if there was hard evidence, say similar to that of deporting blacks by May with the windrush scandal then that would be interesting. Just compare the two for a second. Unbelievable really.
I see this thread has successfully been turned into a microcosm of political debate in the media. The Tories are busy ****ing every single thing up royally, but let's turn attention onto Jeremy Corbyn's 'problem with Jews'. Well done.
Standard, predictable tactic. Hopefully all those ex UKIP voters, whom found a home within the Tory party will leave to join their hero in his new Brexit Party, that's if hes not left the country!
I’ve been weaponised! Let’s be transparent. I don’t like Corbyn, I don’t like his politics, I don’t like the company he keeps, I don’t like what he has done to the Labour Party and what I think he would try to do to the country given the chance. But that is my opinion and my prejudice and bias. I feel pretty similarly about the Tories. Labour has a self confessed problem with anti semitism, which is largely down to ignorance and confusion among easily influenced people about the difference between being a Zionist and being a Jew, and Corbyn has been spectacularly poor at dealing with it. Some of his public utterances in the past are dodgy to say the least but I don’t think any of them conclusively prove that he himself is anti Semitic (or that he isn’t). He seems incapable of calling out old ‘friends’ who hold extreme positions, and his loyalties are where they always have been - pro what he would call ‘freedom fighters’. He’s a bit thick and very inflexible. However, it’s equally clear that the continual attacks from certain sectors - the Tories, the Tory media in particular - are about undermining him and Labour, not from any love of the Jews, and that when you look at some of the attitudes of those attackers they may well seem to be equally odious. This is about politics more than anything else. The whole thing stinks from every angle.
27 countries are united yet somehow we believe they should all move to our way of thinking If that’s not sheep what is it ? The U.K. is wrong
no point Staines... as I said last night, you are blind with your love of this man. I can't waste my time on you tbh.
Tbh corbyn is as much an anti semite as farage is a racist. Abbott is an intellectual to moggy being a man of the people
All of this could have been avoided if the effort had been made in the first place to decide what responsible MPs would have supported and then propose legislation on that agreed basis. It is absolute cobblers to talk about the Establishment ensuring that Brexit never passed. Underlying all this is our own individual perceptions of how strong or weak the UK's bargaining position ever was. Brexiteers who say that we should leave without a deal do so because deep down they have always believed Europe would blink first and cave in to all our demands. Well they haven't. Wanting the benefits of being in a customs union and/or the Single Market without paying the entry price was never going to happen. What would help though is for one Brexiteer MP to stand up and be counted by challenging May for the leadership. But so far there has been no sign of that. The excuse trotted out now is that it would damage our negotiating position and delay things further to have a leadership contest. What nobody has been able to tell us so far is how that excuses their lack of backbone to do the one thing they say she is incapable of - showing some steel and telling Junker/Tusk et al where to go - 'it's my deal, agree to it in the next 15 minutes or we're gone'. I wonder why?
Funny thing is Staines was the one who made unfounded accusations and is having everyone running around trying to prove that Corbyn has a problem with Jews (which we know he has). Jewish Labour supporters have left the party because of Corbyn, that is fact. . Joan Ryan quit Labour claiming the party has "become infected with the scourge of anti-Jewish racism". . Ian Austin also left the party, blaming Mr Corbyn for "creating a culture of extremism and intolerance". All on Corbyn's watch and there isn't smoke without fire. He is the head of the party and has done nothing to sort this problem.. why? The easy ill-informed excuse is to blame the Tories, yet the tories don't make people within his party say the things they have. But whatever, I lost interesting in debating Corbyn when blinded posters can't/won't see the facts. They won't believe the evidence. Corbyn has a problem with Jews. I would also ask why people re so easy to dismiss the facts....mmm?
Blah,blah,blah......i thought you weren’t gonna waste anymore time, Tory boy. Never answer a question, and always comes out with bullshit......have you REALLY got a degree ?
Apologies for not replying / or posting the links last time been a busy old few weeks workwise, unfortunately I don’t know how to copy paste or post stuff from the inter web etc I am a child of the 60s a technophobe, but when I get the chance I will with assistance post the parts required. But quickly in a nutshell you are correct about us losing our veto, they cannot do that, however I am also right as although they cannot remove our veto what they have done which will come into effect in 2020 is to change the way the member states vote and how those votes count towards any decisions or laws, what percentage of votes count, which of 3 different criteria they will use to count said votes and how they will apply the results. Go back and watch Kiwi’s post of Guy Verhofstadt ranting about sovereignty to understand what this actually means and signifies, basically they will in 2020 move the goalposts ever so slightly, they cannot remove our veto nor Denmark’s but they will change the rules / Laws on how it is used within the EU council. So to paraphrase we won’t lose our veto, but under the new voting rules we won’t be able to use it. They will let us play the game as such, but we can’t play it with their equipment sort of like me or you trying to play tennis against Roger Federer but we have to use a cricket bat whilst being blindfolded facing the wrong way. Typical EU in effect, they will do anything they can to gain total control over the member states, even lie and cheat and bully and change the rules and regulations to suit their purpose, it is a predominantly corrupt organisation, a dictatorship in a different guise.
As i said you are as bad as the rest Staines. Shame really but I am pleased I have seen your true colours. I do have a degree, do you? In my critical thinking I would ask why you are sticking up for Corbyn so much... do you have the same problem as him? Have a good day.
No I haven’t got a degree. 5 O Levels and did 3 months of my A Levels before I realised I was too thick/lazy to carry on and went to get a job. Oh Ellers, you’re last comment does make you out to be a bit of a ****....why do it mate ? If you want to call me an anti-Semite then just go ahead without the bullshit, cowardly insinuations......I thought you were better than that....now I’ve seen you’re not.
How can I call you an 'anti-semite' when you say yourself that Corbyn isn't? That doesn't make sense? If you read what I said I made it clear.... and yes I achieved a top grade in my Masters. I am proud of it, my family are proud of it and I bloody worked hard for it when I had a member of family sick and had it playing on my mind every day. When people want to make cheap jokes about someone I would ask why? That's what they taught me to do? As I said I thought you were better than some and you needed to come out with that comment? Sad really Staines.
You know what you were insinuating Ellers, so just be a man and come straight out with your accusations......trying to be clever just makes you look a knob........anyway, on to more important subjects....... Will there ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark ?
Thanks for the response Turkish. With respect you’ve moved the goalposts a little, the most recent exchanges were about us ‘being forced’ to join the Euro after 2020. I think I’m right in saying that no country has a veto even now, the Lisbon Treaty moved to Qualified Majority Voting, where each country has a vote weighted according to population size (so Germany, France and the UK have more ‘weight’ than anyone else). For anything to get through it has to have the equivalent of 65% of the EU population behind it, and 55% of the member countries. What we (and Denmark) have is permanent right not to join the Eurozone, and a number of other ‘opt outs’ including the Schengen area (Denmark, Ireland and Poland also have opt outs from various bits of EU legislation). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opt-outs_in_the_European_Union You can speculate that the EU wants to take these all away from us, and there probably are certain people who would like to do that, but there is no evidence that this is in train, and there are no mechanisms to make it happen. Anyway, the discussion has been had, and won by the Leave side, in 2016. I can’t see any scenario in which the UK stays in the EU once we have got through the current mess, so it’s hardly relevant now, unless your concern is for the people of the 27 countries staying in. Once out, even with a trade treaty, we get our say 1 to 1 with the EU as a whole on any issues of mutual interest.
