I lived opposite an Orthodox Jewish school and our house had mezuzahs on all the doorframes. We were all atheists, but those were a little reminder of our home's history. I am so incredibly angry that antisemitic attacks are happening because the right are stoking the fire and trying to use it to destroy the people who will actually help to make our society safer and more inclusive, while ignoring the actual bigots and monsters for political reasons. It is one of the most disgusting things this government and our establishment has done, and that's a loving high bar to clear. It must be stopped, for the good of our society and everyone in it. We will take these monsters down. Edit: I hate these bastards 52 weeks a year. Solidarity to all Jewish people suffering at their hands, and to all the downtrodden.

Former Labour minister Ivan Lewis urges people to vote Tory to keep Corbyn out of No 10quote:The former Labour minister Ivan Lewis, who resigned from the party last year criticising Jeremy Corbyn’s handling of antisemitism, is now urging people in his constituency to vote Conservative. At the time he resigned Lewis had been suspended from the party over sexual harassment allegations, but he claimed the investigation was being prolonged for political reasons. cool now tell me what roman polanski thinks about Corbyn

He stirs up the anti semitism stuff against labour on twitter sometimes. Definitely glad he didn't get elected as leader. Can't imagine what a right wing poo poo show labour would be with him as leader.

Spent all day canvassing and delivering letters and had a talk with my mam to try and convince her which ended with me in tears because when she asked what good I thought it'd do I just broke down and told her right now I'm staring down my entire life with no prospect of a decent job, never a house to call my own, no healthcare when I need it, no future whatsoever, just working to survive and forking it all over to some private landlord who does nothing. I'm just so goddamn tired.

Having run target seat campaigns in the past I feel completely powerless but the reality is I am blessed in so many ways. You're doing what you can Owl, it's a good thing and you needn't stress. Count your blessings in the meantime, capitalism wants you to believe they are things like jobs and houses and I get you need those things, but when it comes down to it they are rarely the most important things in life.

Thank you all. You're good folk and I love you all. Believe me I don't want to care about that poo poo, I know exactly what I want from life, I just want a secure roof over my head and food on the table and not to get sick and die so I can do it. Which you wouldn't think is too much to ask. It's just hard, I try to keep on top of it but it's hard seeing so many people around you including your family just... not see the state you're in. Not care. Too stuck in their truisms and platitudes that don't actually map to reality. I might ask to stick to leafleting and lettering for a while because this is doing a number on my brain.

We can't save the world as individuals, but by doing small good deeds when we are able to, we can as a collective. Please, nobody feel bad for feeling overwhelmed. You feel that way because you're a good person, and you're doing all that you can. Don't break yourself trying to outperform your capabilities. We all need to rest sometimes. Speaking of: We are all going to need a break after the election. Please take the time you need. Maybe you’ll be hung over. Maybe you’ll be crying out of joy or sorrow or a mix of both. You may well be burned out from all of this. I know I will be. And if you need a break before the election, please take it. There is no shame in taking care of yourself

On the plus side, some people seem to have found hope (or despair - never bet on something you want to happen blah blah) https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/general-election-odds-labour-majority-corbyn-boris-johnson-prediction-a9230871.html quote:The chart showed that a Labour majority is scooping up more than one in every five of the bets placed, this despite it being a best priced 25-1 (it probably won’t please the party’s spinners to learn that their slice was coloured lime green Some lovely "Oh god why are people doing this, why can't the proletariat be downtrodden" going on in that article. That BBC article in the guardian was a desperate response to the previous anti-bbc article. Shows such disdain for the population that they are making the argument that any bias is a conspiracy theory. Hint, institutional bias does not require a shadowy cabal of conspirators.

I've been unwittingly inducted into a lot of cat gangs then And I forgot to say, hang in there Owlman. I don't think there's anyone in this thread who hasn't had moments like that, we all gotta pick each other up when it happens, and you've done an awful lot of picking up in your time.

I dunno this seems super tenuous to me. My guess is the LD guy was like "this guy on the sofa armrest *points at guy* doesn't have anywhere to sit, but i saw a chair somewhere, can we pull it out for him" Otherwise it's a super loving weird way to say "get this person out of the room" - was he the chair of the meeting or something? I'm sure we'd all love to think the LibDems were hoping to expel the troublemaker but this is the loosest of threads to pull on and won't gain traction, there's plenty of other poo poo they've done to focus on

It's also possible that they are in fact just cunts.
