"A Labour government will immediately guarantee existing rights for all EU nationals living in Britain and secure reciprocal rights for UK citizens who have chosen to make their lives in EU countries. EU nationals do not just contribute to our society: they are part of our society. And they should not be used as bargaining chips."

"post your sources". "post your sources" about one of the most prominent historical facts of the 20th century, Joseph Stalin killed millions of people. Good to know we have a proud genocide denier on the mod team. Here's your source, Jose:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor
Engineered famine that killed 7 million Ukranians, began in the spring of 1932.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany
The people that were actually responsible for every death on the Eurasian continent from 1920 to 1950, seized control of the government January 1933. Almost a year after a genocide caused by the Soviets happened.

And all of this in a loving derail in the car forum.

the point being, it's not a particularly courageous bit of political signalling, but claiming that it's arguing for a restrictive immigration policy is also not reasonable - because it's saying nothing at all. again, arguably good politics since they seem to have got away with it, but certainly not good policy (in that it's not making any policy statement at all)

I agree with this, but I do think it’s implausible to suggest that it could mean that Labour would intend to replace it with exactly the same thing. I don’t think anyone other than the most hardcore “Corbyn is a secret remoaner” type could take seriously the suggestion that the statement in the manifesto is a secret way to say they want to keep freedom of movement without explicitly saying so. If you want an immigration system that restricts migration much more, you can read that from the statement. If you want an immigration system which treats all countries equally when assessing applicants, you can read that from the statement. But if you want a bilateral agreement with the EU guaranteeing the right of future Britons to live and work in the EU without any restriction at all and guaranteeing the same for future EU immigrants, i.e. you specifically want Freedom of Movement and not just “a fairer immigration system”, I don’t think you can plausibly read that from the manifesto—so it’s a bit silly, I think, to take the tack that the statement is completely devoid of intent. It is a call for a different system, but as you say not necessarily a more restrictive one.

So a non-Jewish group that is antisemitic (by IHRA definitions) claims that Jewish interests are not the same as ordinary people's.

Very normal group.

Hello, this is the captain of the Titanic.
Over the last few hours people have been asking me about the Iceberg.
And I can understand that as we have planned this trip for several years now.
Well where we're at is that after the Bridge Crew talking wtih my engineers, and
my preference was to continue sailing. But my engineers have rejected that, they want to evacuate.
So the choice we have ahead of us, is to continue to sail to New York, or evacuate to the life boats.
Now I think, as the Bridge Crew, we MUST continue to sail to New York.
So we need to look at new ways, to find an agreement with the engineers.
That means cross party talks.
When you think about it, the passengers did not pay to mingle with the other classes in the life boats.
And I think the first class passengers would want us ship workers to work together.
Now there's lots of things I disagree with the engineers.
And so we are talking, and it would mean compromise on both sides.
But I believe that sailing on to New York is the most important thing to us.
I want to do this in a good way, and that's what the Bridge Crew is working for.

Seriously don't know why the leadership isn't responding to this poo poo more aggressively, these dumbass loving groups whined and moaned until Labour adopted flawed IHRA definitions that they themselves constantly violate (centrality of Israel in Jewish life ffs). It's actually obscene, going by the rules they demanded they're the source of piles more antisemitism than the Labour left (which has a couple of genuinely problematic nutters and a slightly larger collection of idiots failing to be adequately careful in their language). Why aren't they being called out on this? I'm half of a mind to start submitting complaints whenever I see this, but given how much pressure the admin guys are under I'm uncertain. This whole thing is really, genuinely upsetting to watch, especially as it does seem to be sticking to some extent. It's just some of the most staggeringly bad faith bullshit, and the leadership should absolutely be going on the offensive rather than hand wringing about it and making themselves seem more guilty than they are.

I dunno guys I'm looking at the IHRA guidelines and it doesn't really say anything about not conflating Israel and Jews.

https://www.holocaustremembrance.com/working-definition-antisemitism

At most there's this:

quote:

Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.

Then there's also this, which can suck my diaspora Bund balls

quote:

Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.

Am I reading the wrong thing?

Because nobody actually gives a poo poo about the IHRA definition and telling them off will trigger another week of "antisemitic labour bashes the jews". Obviously that's happening anyway thanks to these assholes, but I assume that's the party's thinking. It's easier to fight when you don't have concrete examples and expelling JLM is a very good example. Personally I think they should just bring Jewdas in instead (or JVL if you're boring, I guess)
