Brony Car posted:I hear about Corbyn's anti-semitism quite frequently, but I live in New York. The full sized version looked a bit antisemitic though, with lots of big noses on the elites, but there were no swastikas or kippot or Stars of David or general antisemitic unsubtleties, and BAME people often caricature white people with ridiculous noses, so Corbyn defended it. Then the artist came out and said "no it is actually about Jews, they're evil and rule the world" and it was a bad look for Corbyn. e: 1996 - It didn't come home and also the trains got privatized.

At the time a Jewish critic of Corbyn decrying the mural as anti-Semitic was called to task for asking the artist about it previously and being told "huh? no it's just meant to be white people" and accepting that at face value from the artist but not from Corbyn.

Farage is literally the only MEP I've ever seen speak in a media rabble, all you need to do if you win is thank everyone who campaigned for you at 2:30am in a town hall and from then on just issue written comms if you don't feel like taking part in a debate and prod a computer screen in Belgium to vote

I recently got a letter from the local Tory association (who currently control our council) saying "TELL US HOW WE CAN MAKE [my village] EVEN BETTER". I wrote HANG ALL TORIES on it in red marker, popped it in the return envelope and sent it back to them. Serious question - can I get in trouble for this? My dad is very insistent that I can.

France have demanded "credible political backing" to justify an extension. Honestly I'd pay so much for a live stream of May in her constituency.

Guavanaut posted:I thought he later did say "it was totally about Jews though"? The artist himself said it depicted "the elite banker cartel known as the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, the ruling class elite few, the Wizards of Oz." and further confirmed that only two of the figures there were Jewish. So via a game of telephone it's gone from "randomly selected ultrarich people, 33% of which so depicted happen to be Jewish" to "I, the artist, am a huge antisemite."

Piers being a dick is one thing, but the writing with the brass section to get everyone on side with "piers is fat" is a very subtle way to frame the issue as one of physical reality and that's just hosed through and through.

Are you currently a well connected Spad or unite full time officer? If the answer is no I don't think you're going to be a labour mep. Some stuff has changed but in a lot of respects how this stuff works remains as it always was.

A friend of mine wrote "I HAVE KILLED AND WILL KILL AGAIN" on his ballot slip one time without realising they can identify you if they need to and he never heard anything, so I won't worry too much about my (100% genuine) suggestion that we HANG ALL TORIES.
