I... I'm at a loss. Can someone fill me in on this paragraph bit: "his defence of the blood libeller Raed Salah and the conspiracist Rev Stephen Sizer, who blamed Israel for 9/11;" who are these people and why should I care?

I do sometimes wonder though if my eye-rolling cynicism towards claims of labour antisemitism is maybe due to me living way up here and not necessarily being exposed to either a large labour contingent or a large antisemitic one, and whether being a jewish leftist down south would make you a bit more sensitive. I think the one time I've been anywhere near leftist antisemitism was the guy who eyed me up a bit squarely when I introduced myself as a jew to a palestinian solidarity group.
There's the odd outright "Jews control the world except for Labour" wingnut, but honestly I've met far more Thatcher-hating Yorkshire/Midlands pro-Corbyn pro-Labour hard hat trade unionists with terrible opinions about Muslims or Chinese people or many other groups than I ever have about Jews, and nobody calls Labour the systemically Islamophobic party.

The (Marxist and anarchist) Vegan argument is that humans act towards most other animals the same ways that the bourgeoisie act towards the workers, so you can't just switch one for the other.

Though if anyone wrote into a current cooking show requesting more booj recipes that would be worthy of laughter. And recipes to eat booj.

While I would suggest you need to be at least well off to be vegan, not all booj are vegan.

For example the editor of the waitrose magazine is very clearly not.

I'd posit that you can't be booj and Vegan because doing as little exploitation of all other animals as possible is the key part.

Said I'd post my Granddad's last flight log earlier, so here it is. He was a navigator in a Fairey Barracuda torpedo bomber flying from carriers. Stuff in italics I added.


Air craft arranged on deck & crew took stations for catapulting. Take off delayed due to passing squall. Whilst standing by TAG V (Tailored Air Group?), Smyth reported that a bullet had been fired from his gun and had entered fuselage. Aircraft struck down and another ranged. Just time to align D.R. (Direct Reading) compass & tune beacon before takeoff.


TAG stands for Telegraphist Air Gunner - Fleet Air Arm speak for the radioman and gunner on two/three seat aircraft like the Barracuda. Do you know which carrier your granddad flew from?

All this talk of war stories, I remember my granddad going on about his granddad in I think the first world war? He was Italian and was captured by the Japanese? Or Something? But he had POW diaries and my great aunt got them when he died, I might have to see if I can get my hands on them.

I've just come back from a gig where the bar was selling 'XL pints' that were just 2 pints in a huge glass. This is a brilliant idea and I want to know why pubs across the country aren't doing it.

I'm about to go gammon about people not knowing the correct multiple of pints.

After brexit I expect to buy things in the correct units, gill, half pint, pint, quart, half gallon, gallon.

Tasted the same all the way to the bottom of the glass, huh?

And we all know that Tories haven't done one half the things to ethnic minorities as Corbyn has to the Jews. They've done at least 20 times the things, and probably much more.

Boy, that sure sounds like a real conversation that definitely happened.

People who mock vegans for being evangelical have never met a committed carnivore. Yes, it is possible to have a proper meal that doesn't contain meat, in fact entire cultures have based their cuisine on vegetables and grains because that's what was in abundance.

In war chat: contact the Imperial War Museum about any war diaries, letters or objects, and if they don't want them they will certainly be able to recommend other places.
