It was very uncomfortable viewing. He's an extremist in a suit. Compare him with Alex Goldberg who resigned from the FA today. Ok I disagree with his stance about Wembley, but when you listen to him the guy genuinely gives a **** about both sides and just wants peace and justice and no loss of innocent life.
The Jewish Chronicle's been a right-wing propagandist ****rag since at least 2008. Stephen Pollard took over as editor, having worked for The Express, Times, Mail and Telegraph. He then got it sued repeatedly until liquidation, then went back to The Express and The Sun. Wallis took over in '21 and they've continued to print crap and get sued.
Exactly this. The way I see it with that tweet he made - there had been a horrific act of barbarism against his people, sometimes good people in pain make a statement in anger because that is being human. But this guy has history, he's a right wing Israeli propagandist who's always portrayed Palestinians as less than human and those Jews who genuinely want to seek a peaceful settlement as self hating. So when someone like him makes a comment like that, you know it's because he's a vile **** and he believes what he says.
The utterly corrupt and incompetent ****show of 'government' that presided through the COVID period is being laid bare for all to see. The Enquiry hardly reveals anything new to any onlooker with more than half a Braincell - a country apparently led by a narcissistic, self-serving bully surrounding himself with low grade sycophants. But it turns out it was his then mistress who was calling the shots! Then you have issues like this. And it's hard to disagree with the sentiments. The 'one rule for us, one rule for them' has never been clearer than in the disparity of criminal sanctions for COVID breaches.
This should be very alarming, if it weren't for that fact that most people will be well aware of just how dysfunctional UK politics is. And for once this is symptomatic of the entire political situation, not party-specific. Political reform should be at the top of the list of action for the next administration - but you know that vested interests will preclude that happening.
And he didn't say this at the time because...? He plays a role as this sensible, moderate, conservative voice, but he goes along with it all. He's out now because they absolutely ****ed everything up and he wants to distance himself. Can't say that I blame him for that, but he was along for 90% of the ride.
100% correct. His defence is that once he got a voice (say 2015/6) he did at least attempt to hold a more centrist position. The Parliamentary voting issue does cloud the situation. MP's are virtually forced to vote with the Government and that is one of the things he rails against. He wasn't perfect as a politician, but compared to the rest of them.....
Then he shouldn't have allied with the lunatics. He's no Johnson, Truss or Cruella, but he votes almost identically to them: https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/2...MIzazm38b1gQMVxPrtCh3ehQ2MEAAYASAAEgLb6PD_BwE He conducts himself in a far more measured and reasonable manner. That's a very low bar that he's managed to clear, though. He'd have been a pretty average, unremarkable Thatcherite minister.
Bloody hell, this is just grim. Is this really somebody Labour should have dictating who can and cannot stand as an MP? please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
please log in to view this image I had to check that this was current, but it is. They really do have Mr Iran-Contra on Fox chatting ****. Just another Republican traitor, I guess.
So we've reached the point where GOP Republicans are pretending to have served in the IDF, which is somehow even more insane when you consider this bloke actually served in the US Army - you know, the military he was eligible to sign up for
Anyone want to see a car crash? Single vehicle, only one ambulance needed to collect the remains of a political career....
Amazed that none of David Baddiel, Matt Lucas or James Herbert seems to have remembered him using The Y Word on the pitch during Ledders' testimonial Then again, his political career should've been holed beneath the waterline with that Standard article where he accused us of wanting to move to Wembley to sell the club to Qatar, which was dogwhistling AF
