lol how is free trade with Israel the antidote to antisemitism? Surely they’re not implying British Jews have dual loyalty? 😇

not liking Israel became officially antisemitism during Corbyn times

as did 'leftism' in general. TBF British leftists should have done something to pushback, anything really. Now you're either neoliberal or a big racist.

I’m just a simpleton from the colonies, we don’t have sophisticated political manoeuvres like this and our media didn’t all go to boarding school together.

Did they anticipate this and see getting rid of Corbyn as worth it anyways?

I've seen solar panels on the roofs of houses but fields of them? Not so much.

I dunno, you hear the same poo poo from Tories about windfarms & how ugly they are but whether they are far off white sticks on the horizon or you're driving 50 metres away from them I've always quite enjoyed how they look.

It's nothing to do with how they look. It's just that they are new and couldn't have been there in their sepia toned vision of what things were like in the imaginary year of nineteen-enoch-powell when everything was proper and paups and colonials knew their place.

Oh there are some absolute knob heads out there who think this.
My home area of Northern Ireland, County Tyrone, has one of the highest amounts of wind turbines in the UK, and you need planning permission to install them.
And the local newspapers used to be full of whining fuckwits complaining about seeing 5 seconds of them while driving past or whatever.

Lots of people are extremely, almost violently against wind turbines here in norway because of the huge environmental impact! The birds will have to adjust their flight paths! And a turbine might be visible from a distance from my luxury mountain "cabin"!!! It's an outrage won't anyone think of the environment!?!?
