I'm close to being done with this lot already. What is this Labour government for? Not being quite so bad as the Tories? Stop being so ****ing timid, stand up and do something positive! **** trying to a deal with a US administration that could do another backflip next week - we belong in Europe! With the US now turning into just another autocracy, Europe is last the significant bastion of democracy.
 
At last, a bit of sense. Rachel Reeves says that the UK and EU should pool defence spending, hinting that we are likely to join an EU defence pact which could effectively replace the US-abandoned NATO. Remember the Brexit campaign, when Farage et al used the prospect of a European army as a reason to vote Leave? As with pretty much everything Farage said and says, this has been proved wholly wrong.

Ireland will be in charge of crowing from the outside about how above it all they are.

UK Times? That’s a very weird YouTube channel. Most of it seems dedicated to how to scam U.K. welfare payments. Plus a bit of pro Islamic stuff.

I’d like to see some mainstream verification of this. The video looks unpleasant but nothing like the voiceover claims. I can’t make out what the crowd are saying, or even what language it is. Is that really a NYPD uniform and do they usually wander around alone?

I don't imagine it's on Fox News, but this is Al Jazeera - not sure if that counts as being mainstream, though.......

Pro-Israeli mob harasses woman in New York with ‘Death to Arabs’ chant | Gaza | Al Jazeera

The full video that I saw showed the cop calling for back up and escorting the woman into an NYPD truck.

Edit: In fact it's in that clip.

It’s crap. But there are equally crap examples of Jewish people being abused in London and some of the stuff at Columbia University NYC has been staggeringly horrible.

As Danny says in Withnail and I ‘why trust one drug more than another?’ These slaves to ideology are indistinguishable.

Do you think this was staged then? Seems real enough to me.

I have no idea. Haven’t found any non Arabic/pro Islamic sources for it though.

Do you think the anti semitic abuse seen in London, Columbia U and many other places is fake, or somehow not as vile as this incident? We’d be better off without all of these ****s, no matter what idiotic creed they follow.

And UK Times is still a weird thing to have on your YouTube algorithm.

Well I'd say it's pretty certain to be real and it would be no surprise to me that no non Arabic/pro Islamic media would want to show it.

I wholeheartedly agree with your last sentence, though.
 
I'm not saying that this applies in this case, however a lot of the so called footage is selectively edited or out of context to suit an agenda

Al Jazeera - pro-Palestine/anti-Zionist
Fox News - pro-Trump
CNN - anti-Trump
BBC - scared to offend anyone
