I read most of that article regarding anti-Semitism and I don't have much to add, except to emphasize just to what extent she goes out of her way to delegitimize any and all of those who are Jewish and disagree with her position. It's... well, were I Jewish myself I would be somewhat peeved.

Pumpkin Pissflaps is doggedly defending their point that an increase in numbers of foodbanks is not evidence of an increase in need for foodbanks, and they never said that the need for foodbanks hasn't gotten worse under the Tories, but you cannot prove it because all this proves is that charity has increased in supply. So perhaps people become kinder under a Tory government :smug:


I would argue that an increase in poo poo in their pants is not evidence of a need to poo poo their pants, but only of a desire to do so. poo poo is free, therefore their pants have an infinite demand, and they have an infinite supply QED debate me nerds :shrek:

There is no other way to use charitable donations than food banks, so the number of food banks is related to the supply of charity and not the demand for food. Now get out of that hospice bed and eat a tin of cold beans.

The last acceptable racism. Where are you going to put them when you've banned traveller encampments, we don't have houses anyway. loving right on.

I despise the way anti-traveller/gypsy/Roma racism is considered acceptable in our society. It enrages me so much that it is allowed to continue and exploited by monsters like that Tory. They are one of the most marginalised communities in Europe and everyone seems to think that's okay because they deserve it for not integrating into a society that utterly rejects them!

It makes me unbelievably angry :tizzy:

It's going to be really hard to choose between Rebecca Long-Bailey and Angela Rayner if they both stand in the next leadership election. They'd both make excellent Labour leaders. Arguably better than Corbyn, as much as I love him. Rayner in particular is clearly spoiling for a fight.

Rayner is great but I'm already cringing at the hilarious 'left school pregnant at 16 with no qualifications' wisecracks. Yeah, they make them already, but imagine that all day every day

It's the "convincingly and sympathetically written" I take issue with because I would describe it as "excessively verbose for the purpose of being manipulative" and it does not work on me.

You've been linked a far more concise document showing corbyn clearly does not like antisemitism and works to oppose it. I find it infinitely more compelling than that histrionic shite.

gently caress gently caress gently caress I hate this so much I actually read the article because in my head I'm like " Well I want to be a good ally to the jewish community. I don't want to harbor any unfortunate anti-semitic views."

Then the article goes on to state that, actually, Israel has a right to exist, and he's perfectly willing to work towards a two-state solution (which is impossible and therefore a massive red flag).

Also, is there actually a branch of zionism that isn't a colonial project?

Thanks for the thoughtful responses everyone. I promise I'm not posting this stuff in bad faith. I'm just trying to juggle with phone posting, full time work and looking after an eight month old, which means my posting is just even shittier and lazier than it would be otherwise.

The more constructive comments here have gone some way to restoring my faith. Thank you.

Given the criticism you're doling out at some of the responses you've gotten, you might wanna consider how your posts come across because I absolutely would assume you were doing it in bad faith at this point. If you're coming in saying you want to be educated, you actually need to read what people are telling you rather than moan about a couple of people who glibly told you to stop reading manipulative trash.

I love her look of curiousity and hope when he gets to "The other guy could win!", and also how he still manages to come across as a damaged tampon despite not saying a single word (Lol that they know full well every time he opens his gob the Tories lose another tranch of voters). Also also if he's out there going "The other guy could win!" it really backs up the stuff we've seen yesterday or the day before about how they've shifted to full defense mode.

I went to the electoral office in Belfast to see why I hadn't heard anything since changing my constituency to North Belfast, which is apparently coming down to the wire between Sinn Fein and the DUP.

Apparently they had been in touch and the email went to my spam folder. So I'm going to have to sit out the most important election in my life time, in which for the first time my vote would have actually mattered, because Google somehow decided an email from a government department looked like an offer for a discount pizza.

Labour is reported to have the most interactions, with The Times describing Labour's "aggressive, anti-establishment messages" as "beating clever Tory memes". In the first week of November, Labour is reported to have four of the five most "liked" tweets by political parties, many of the top interactions of Facebook posts, as well as being "dominant" on Instagram, where younger voters are particularly active.[97] Bloomberg reported that between 6–21 November the views on Twitter/Facebook were 18.7m/31.0m for Labour, 10m/15.5m for the Conservatives, 2.9m/2.0m for the Brexit Party, and 0.4m/1.4m for the Liberal Democrats.[98]

Yeah so it getting that many hits in a day will make it possibly the most viewed thing this election.

I'm concious that my breathless babbling about media ownership and bias, propaganda and plots to undermine public ownership can come off as a bit tin foil hat (even though it's all true) so need to simplify it a bit.

Ultimately I don't think they'll ever come around till the services they take for granted are gone and it affects them :(
