Ya the party adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definitions of antisemitism against Corbyn's objections.

Hopefully they will start enforcing them and this stuff can be put to rest.

I'm glad they stopped Corbyn's dastardly plot to declare Israel racist.

Incorrect. The definition was already adopted long ago.

it’s such a boring story that no wonder people are ignoring it

but I suppose it’s taking the oxygen out of any alternative arguments for post brexit Britain from labour, leaving just the status quo or a tax haven Tory paradise as the only options

I don't think it's that complex. I think it's just a simple. "We must destroy Corbyn at all costs!" Corbyn really represents a threat to their status quo.

Cromwell officially brought the Jews back so he's kind of the opposite in the current discourse.

I think marginal tories may be feeling a bit desperate. My dad got this fancy leaflet sent out to 'new arrivals', bit weird as my parents have lived there for 26 years, and





not a single mention of the conservative party. No policies, not even using the conservative colour. And it came with a lovely letter inviting us on a tour of parliament so we're obviously gonna take them up on that but they seriously have absolutely nothing to offer any more. The strategy is just spend money and hope the media can take down Corbs.

Recently discovered that Villiers is related to the 1st Duke of Buckingham, King James VI & I's favourite and later Lord Admiral under Charles I, who went to Spain to negotiate a marriage between Charles and Infanta Maria and did such a good job that the Spanish Ambassador in London went to court to demand his execution.

So good to see incompetence runs in the family.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

An old legend links the yellowhammer to the Devil. Its tongue was supposed to bear a drop of his blood, and the intricate pattern on the eggs was said to carry a concealed, possibly evil, message; these satanic associations sometimes led to the persecution of the bird.

I think any new party will, but I can see the centrists from each party breaking away to form a temporary no/soft Brexit party alliance thing.

Once a no-deal brexit causes the UK economy to crash and burn next year, are there any fascists waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces, or is that really more of a continental thing?

Of course there's fascists waiting in the wings. Have you not seen ukip and the Tories in the last few years?

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

There's no real fascist street movement but there's a few potential orgs out there which have done some practice runs over Free Tommy to see if they can get the fash together and they basically can with enough cash.
