Corbyn?

He said in 2011 that it’s bias to suggest Israel has the right to exist.

He challenged the removal of an antisemitic mural in 2012 from the side of a street, depicting a group of Jewish men sat round a monopoly board and the world, with human figures underneath it.

So, you can't quote anything Corbyn actually said cos... there isn't anything to quote??

As for the figures, isn't there only 2 Jewish bankers in the pic and it's about bankers ruling the world? they all happen to be classed as 'White' by the muralist.

Mmm... I know, right!
 
Well, I don't want to do whataboutism regarding the Cons suspending and immediately allowing member back in, so I won't. :)

What I will say is that I don't know about the individual cases, so I can't comment directly on them, but if you're in a job don't you suspensions and warning regarding conduct, so protocol is followed...?

As for the member that said about the holocaust he's a tool. He should have been dealt with more severely, but I don't know their rules.

But, your last sentence was very interesting; why ARE there still Jewish MPs under Corbyn...?

So you're OK with him lying when saying "Where anyone has committed any antisemitic acts or made any antisemitic statements, they are either suspended or expelled from the party and we have investigated every single case."? Corbyn lies = OK, Johnson lies = Not OK?

Or are you suggesting it is in fact true, and the various reports to the contrary are false?

It seems pretty self-evident to me that it was one dirty great big fat lie, blurted out when under pressure in the TV interview and the very damning accusations were being made. His record on this is patently shocking, so he lied about it.
 
It's a political issue. It should be a cross-party issue, but it seems that the Tories couldn't care less about the Palestinians. It's unfortunate that Labour's support for Palestine is often either honestly misinterpreted or intentionally misrepresented as antisemitic. I agree with you that it certainly isn't doing Labour any favours, though that it mostly because of how the media has chosen to paint things. But I certainly respect that they have the courage of their conviction.

But if it makes you unelectable you will never get a chance to make a change anyway. Palestine only seems to be an issue for a minority of Labour voters and it is cutting off our nose to spite our face.
 
Yes he is.

He’s doesn’t give a shit about Jewish people, his last few posts have confirmed that.

Don't I? What I don't care about is corrupt cunts like Netanyahu killing innocent protesters.

Don't hear much from you about that. You're more concerned with a guy that's trying to bring peace to all sides.

Look I'm being anti-Semitic!!

Oh yes, talking of which, I'd like to hear that accusation directed at ME, not to other posters.

And don't be a "shithouse" about it!!

What I'm saying is in the timeframe you have put up, his comment may well be true. Up until May this year, right?

Have you checked?
 
What are you saying?

Revoke support for Palestinians..?

As being a focus of Labour MPs and supporters yes, keep it away from the party. Do your own protests ect elsewhere. Why does Labour have to be the party of Palestine the working class man on average doesn't care and never will. Instead it has just led to Labour being riddled with AS accusations and is crippling the party.

I can only go off the various reports (there are several from different people) saying it's a lie. Not being at the centre of goings on in the party myself, I have nothing else to go off. But as I say, I tend to go by the, "if it walks like a duck" addage. Things are usually as they appear unless there is evidence to suggest otherwise.
 
I don’t know the particulars of that but if it is to do with Brexit it won’t move anyone’s needle - they will search for reasons why it’s absolutely nothing to do with Brexit and then if none are found they will then 1) point to drugs that the government have previously withdrawn, not paid for etc. when Brexit wasn’t the issue then 2) say it’s a price worth paying

Anyway, I hope it’s nothing to do with Brexit and that you and people in the same position get sorted as soon as possible
Thanks,it was fully explained on this morning today by someone with no axe to grind,i have spent the last 6 weeks armed with perscriptions for 3 different brands going all over the place trying to find any left in stock,boots had 1 pack which i have got,that is one month then everyone is cleaned out till at least june next year,can't even get parrall imports in,those are the same drug from abroad written in greek or whatever,going cold turkey on HRT is the wrong thing to do but it will happen,you think i get arsey now and if you have a wife or partner on it be prepared
But that's not important,lets get back to how one side is isamophobic and one is anti muslim and ignore what is happening on the ground, and what they don't want you to see,sigh
 
Deary me.

As I told you already, I do not advocate propping up "failing" and uncompetitive industries. Nothing has changed and I have not "converted" to socialism. Funny that, FFS!!!

There is nothing "comradey" about wanting to see British industry do well. Perhaps you'd accuse Heseltine of being hard left for his support of British industry when he was trade and industry secretary? I do not advocate supporting "failing" and uncompetitive industries but helping us smoothly transition through a successful Brexit, is ENTIRELY different. Beggars belief that you would be so utterly petty to try to score points about this. Pathetic in fact.

Think you need to take your concerns up with the IEA and IoD as currently they are racking up the ‘points scored’ on this issue.

I’m just curious as to how quickly you flip based solely on who is delivering the message. Corbyn. ‘State Socialism!’. Johnson ‘Supporting British Industry through Brexit!’.

Principles are so inconvenient during an election.

I don’t really know what to suggest other than raise awareness. Write to your soon to be elected MP, local paper, social media etc and hope for a bit of luck
 
Fuck all to do with brexit so stop it.

from the Guardian...

"The crisis reportedly started in late 2018 when supply issues that began in China forced some manufacturers to stop producing HRT patches. This resulted in increased demand for other brands, which in turn became scarce.

Shortages are expected to continue until next year".
I'll put up what was explained this morning when they put it up,the government are not paying drug companies and due to brexit we can't get any in from abroad
 
Im struggling to get Naproxen .... my brother in law is struggling with some of his meds as well
The problems with the availability of drugs for the last 9 months are mainly due to do with pharmaceutical companies struggling to comply with the EU "Falcified Medicines Directive" that was introduced in February 2019. All production processes have to comply with the directive as must all sourced ingredients and chemicals. Everything has to be tracked. It's a nightmare to implement, a necessary nightmare but a nightmare all the same. The NHS is better off than many due to it's purchasing power but sorting it out is like opening a massive can of worms.
It is not I repeat NOT Brexit related.

Bob, I have been entirely consistent in my views that it is folly to prop up what are intrinsically uncompetitive industries - such as British coal mining - to provide just one example. Nothing has changed. It is still my view, so your "comrade" comment was childish and wide of the mark.

This is ENTIRELY different to support for a business which may be in temporary difficulty but which is fundamentally sound. Or indeed to grants or other incentives to promote certain types of economic development. I have never said anything to the contrary and your desperation to see something here, when in fact there is nothing to see, is rather silly.

I have no idea what you are wittering about in terms of taking up my concerns with the IEA or IoD. I have no concerns.

One might be forgiven for imagining that you do in fact WANT Brexit to be a complete disaster so you can be proven right. I do hope that is not the case. You will be aware I am intrinsically a Remainer, but unlike you I accept that we must leave and are leaving and given that, then better to look forward and look for positives where they can be found. If we can help businesses through temporary difficulties, sure this is something we can agree is a positive move?

Chinese supply issues.

The problem is thought to have started last year when Theramex stopped production because of issues manufacturing the glue for their patches, which are made in China, forcing customers towards other brands.

Perhaps, but it shouldn't be this way. You shouldn't be labelled antisemitic for supporting Palestinians. And the media certainly shouldn't be fuelling that narrative.

Get it right.

YOU'VE accused Corbyn directly of being 'anti-Semitic'. By your definition, if he is, then I am, too.

I've repeated what he's done or is doing and you reject it.

My personal position rejects anybody racist and that has been a constant all my life.

If you've lost 'goodwill' towards me, then that's your choice.

The only thing Corbyn has done 'wrong' is fighting for the rights of everyone.

Okay will if that’s the hill you wish to die on then you’re an antisemite too in my eyes.

Happy now?
 
So, you can't quote anything Corbyn actually said cos... there isn't anything to quote??

Mmm... I know, right!

He said in 2011 “Israel having a right to exist” is a “biased view”.

There’s one single racist quote.

Now try and defend it you squirming little so and so.
 
Don't I? What I don't care about is corrupt cunts like Netanyahu killing innocent protesters.

And don't be a "shithouse" about it!!

Please please please go and find my previous posts on Israel and Netanyahu.

I’m in the several threads on him so won’t be hard to find.

Go on and report back and what you find.

And for the record, he’s not a British politician and leader of her Majesty’s opposition, that’s why I talk about Corbyn more often.
