Been out of the loop on this for a bit. Was wondering. Everytime it pops up on reddit it a bunch of comments bitching that Corbyn hasn't done anything about it. Isn't labour still the minority party though?

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Corbyn specifically is just being attacked for being anti-Israel, and I think he once used an anti-Semitic trope when criticizing bankers and apologized once he was told it had a second meaning. There's fair criticism of the Labour party for being too tolerant of anti-Semitism in their ranks, but the right-wing parties and UK media harping on it are real usual suspects who are incidentally supported by all the open nazis and white supremacists, which should be no reason for concern. When did trope become the term over sterotype. Feel like I have never seen it used that way until the Omar stuff happened.

If it passes for remain, that would give them the cover to get out of this whole mess. Does TM actually want to do Brexit?

univbee posted:On top of actually wanting it, there's the whole problem of a second referendum meaning you can just do-over a democratic vote that "doesn't go your way" until you get the results you want, and how that would mean the first referendum was meaningless and not democracy working. Of course, then there's the whole argument about the validity of that first referendum in the first place with the lies etc. so it's all a giant clusterfuck. Wouldn't a second referendum be more like given that their is more information about how this is going to go do you still want to do it? Not just a redo.

Well at least we still got that Sanders is well liked and antisemitism smear will be a lot trickier for them on him. I assume it will be that all his supporters are anti-semitic though but they still gotta explain why all those people want to make a Jew the most powerful person in the world. Plus outside of maybe a bloomberg spoiler there is a lot less of a threat from a third party run.

get that OUT of my face posted:i'm still optimistic he can pull it off but man, i'm a little less confident after today Well remember Sanders is still much more popular here than Corbyn is in the UK. Also antisemitism attacks are a lot more tricky against him. Also lot less of a threat of a third party bleeding support outside maybe a bloomberg run. Its still gonna be an uphill battle though.
