    Alex, there is critism of Syria, Iran and Saudi but no ine is suggesting those countries should cease to exist because of the alleged human rights abuses. People campaign for “regime change” but as I said no one is suggesting that the Pope is put in charge.

    I watched the video, plenty I disagree with with – I won’t get into that here – the speaker is critising the Netanyahu Government and not the whole state of Israel, he is not proposing the state is eradicated. He is not proposing that the holiest site in Judaism lie within an Arab state.

    Coincidently Guardain had a piece today

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/02/definition-does-not-bar-criticism-of-israel

    Anyway, best left here as I don’t want to derail this thread. Others have been closed down and people banned. That’s not constructive.

    This thread is beyond parody. A Jamba-Cranberry-THM circle jerk. All it needs is ninfan and chewkw to turn up (if they’re not banned) to complete the STW nutters tea-party. All I want to know is who gets to eat the soggy biscuit?

    Too late dazh, the biscuits have already been Fry-ed.

    To be honest THM I don’t really count you among the nutters, as you seem to have the ability to actually discuss things rather than just repeating tired old cliches. But recently on this thread you seem to have fallen into the self-congratulatory rubbish as the rest of them, which is a shame.

    Sorry dazh, always try to fit in with the subject matter. It’s is now becoming beyond parody itself.

    (Hence the link to the interesting FT article I provided or suggested.)

    Digestives or Abernathy? Circle or square?

    Saw the unfortunately very real/beyond parody/toe-curling Labour ad last night. About a minute in Mrs Binners observed about the voiceover “this is clearly a Southerner putting on some sort of generic, non-specific northern regional accent!”

    From that point on we awaited a miner walking on in clogs, and a flat cap, with a whippet to say “aye oop, me duck, them Tory’s are reet bastards, tha nars?”

    It started well with the lie that income inequality had increased under the Tories and then got worse, the fat cat had clip on braces. How awful..

    Still as leader of the party, Jezza was given the appropriate level of exposure. Did you enjoy his rallying call to the faithful?

    I did check to see if it was on BBC3 and a spoof when it first came on!

    so todays breaking news is Binners still does not like Corbyn

    Anyone any idea on whether jamby still supports Israel and whether he has criticised them for assassinating their political enemies as he did with the Muslims sorry palestinians . Now I realise that on face value it could look like he has formed racially based opinions on the issue but I am sure he will be along soon to explain the reason for his hypocrisy.

    Awww Dazh, I feel your pain, no one likes it when they’ve waited *ages* for a revolution and when it comes people laugh.

    So that is what they call that biscuit at those schools.

    This thread really is just childish goading from us all now

    No one is actually saying anything we are just using the title to mock folks whose politics we dont like – I mean posters not Jeremy.

    I have to say that the thread is about 90% RW though [ and binners] and it getting increasingly childish even by the very low standard we all set on that front

    Shall we all have an attempt at a grown up debate or shall we all just mock each other for another few years?

    so todays breaking news is Binners still does not like Corbyn

    Nobody likes any politicians. Do you think people like Theresa May? Its about basic competence, and who’s least likely to bankrupt the country.

    So conflate the following 2 issues for me

    1) Channel 4 news last night ran with the lead story of the new Funding Formula for Education (read: massive cuts in the education budget, with the poorest areas being hit hardest), certain regional constabularies now being so underfunded, and short of staff they can no longer investigate crimes, then the continued ‘crisis’ in the NHS and the disastrous state of social care. Last week it was the meltdown in the prison system

    2) The labour party under Comrade Corbyn is presently 18 points behind the Tory’s in the polls.

    When all you can offer is a wince-inducing advert featuring tired, cliched, 70’s-style class war stereotypes (fat capitalist pig, versus the honest, exploited and downtrodden men of toil) voiced in some faux ‘Northern’ accent, it can’t come as any great shock that people aren’t engaging with your ‘message’. Outside the 6th form common room/Momentum at least

    I assumed the thread was a troll?

    It’s main purpose seems to be encouraging the Labour supporters to fight amongst themselves whilst other contributors throw buckets of excrement from the sidelines.

    Objective achieved, it would appear.

    I think you’ll find that’s most critic’s position. Stretching it out to sound like people want to eradicate the state, is exactly what people attempt to do in order to discredit.

    “Stretching it out to sound like people want to eradicate the state,”

    How can you give the Arabs what they want without eradicating the Israeli state?

    Rusty, Its open for anyone to highlight Jezza’s virtues and what a good job he’s doing. Have a go….

    Cranberry you seem to be mistaking a middle of the road social democrat for some sort of communist revolutionary. Apart from a tiny few swivel eyed loons on the far left the vast majority of Corbyn supporters think he’s nothing of the sort.

    If you are a middle of the road social democrat, shouldn’t you be supporting whoever is leading the Liberals ?

    Because reasoned debate is pointless?

    Nothing but sneering sarcasm from yourself, post truth ‘facts’ from Jambalaya and the usual enlightened contributions from the Chingford Skinhead, temporary ban not withstanding.

    Pointless.

    For Junky and anyone who is lurking on here and harrumphing about the naughty, bad tories not having a fair and balanced view of Jezza.

    “Because reasoned debate is pointless?”

    I’m not sure refusing to provide a reasoned argument is going to win many people over.

    Blimey Rusty, you lot really are down in the dumps aren’t you.

    Good old facts and achievements trump sneering sarcasm any day. You must be able to something good about the old bloke. How about

    I’m suggesting Corbyn is a middle of the road social democrat, not myself. You wouldn’t be the first right wing loon to misunderstand what socialism is though. My own politics however cannot be so easily labelled.

    Don’t keep me in suspenders, educate me. Tell me about your political beliefs – it’ll be more fun than just throwing out personal attacks. 😉
