Oh so an accent is a sign of intelligence, interesting..... Thought Boris got a second no? With all the advantages given to him, I'd hardly call that a massive high achiever, same level of degree as the much maligned Diane Abbott, however unlike Johnson, Abbott came from a working class family and not subject to the best levels of education in her formative years.
Wills you are doing it again... Where have I said an ”accent is a sign of intelligence”? If you can't debate without making up crap go a bore someone else. I said she she sounded like a chav... Which she did. I also said she mumbled... Which she did
 
A calm, logical, well-written piece by Anthony Lerman (himself a Jew, and a writer who specialises in the study of antisemitism) on the hysteria being deliberately stoked up by Tories and the right-wing media around anti-Semitism in the Labour party.

I'd be interested in the views of Goldie and Ellers - and indeed Watford, or anybody else.
God did he go on! zzzzzz. A bit long for me. I like a short, to the point article. He repeated himself too much. If you do a quick search on him you can see he is a Labour fan and the article us from the in-independent so it loses a bit if punch for me.
I have said before there is too many incidents regarding Corbyn. Do I believe a Corbyn support or. A female MP who left the party in tears. (Remember she is not part of the Tory machine). I will wait for the Human rights Council verdict and the other investigations.

there is no debating with you, anything you don’t like you ignore it or people get a zzzzz. I’d get a more thought out debate from the cat.
 
Sorry Staines but you never seem to see the full story. For a start you are being distrespectful to me by calling me 'Eelers'. So that's not 'insulting to other posters' as you say? I get plenty of flake on here and I have over a long period, so If i respond in return, people shouldn't cry about it.

All I’m seeing Eelers is you calling people ‘Fools’, ‘bores’ and making general insults to anyone who doesn’t agree with you.
I refer to you now as ‘Eelers’ because I feel, quite rightly in my eyes, that you are like a slippery eel who doesn’t answer any direct questions and instead either avoids the question entirely, posts a meme or insult about Diane Abbott or posts the usual ‘Zzzzzzz’ in reply.

Hopefully you will note I have not gone on about your education and or you having an ‘ology’ etc etc....as I think that might of upset you a bit too much.......you see I have a heart.

That is bloody decent of you mate. Comrade Eeliov will appreciate that I'm sure

Funnily I posted an excellent article last week from a fab female journo who is moving up the ranks as a top reporter. She said that Corbyn is clever in his wording and how he has not addressed the issues of a antisemitism in the Labour party.
Not a single reply, only the usual denial from one poster.
I have come to the conclusion that it's not worth saying too much as people are entrenched in their camps.
Also a meme or a picture can actually say more than a page of words. I learned that at Uni where I got an ’A’. I, m surprised you even mentioned. My ’ology’? I don't mind people knocking my degrees ( both of them) because none of you employ me. My bosses think I do a great job and that's all that matters.

Did you read the article Stroller posted earlier and I commented on? It really is very good.
