  we brits are being bombarded with facts and speculation about the horrific consequences of either corbin or johnson getting into power .

  another thread has discussed the anti-semitic leanings ( or not ) of corbin .

  what do people think about the left's claims that boris would sell off the nhs ,only this morning l saw a post on fb saying that " america is demanding full access to nhs records " it has been pointed out by a political reporter on the bbc that the talks that the papers were leaked about happened before johnson became pm and these were just things that have been put on the negotiating table by the usa .

  Boris is duplicitous but Corbyn is an enemy of everything I hold dear.

  Corbyn's default position is that the UK are always the bad guys. Always. He doesn't like his own country much. He doesn't realise that the working-class folk that he wants to appeal to are mainly patriots. So he's going to lose their votes too. Basically he appeals to armchair liberals who are anxious to be seen as desperately worried about poverty while sitting around their Noguchi coffee tables convinced that somehow they have the moral high ground all to themselves.

  Ignore the will of the British people by blocking the result of the referendum and Boris is what you get.

  What REALLY defines a person as being anti-Semitic?

  by The Fall Guy in

  does criticism or opposition to the israeli government's zionist agenda legitimately constitute someone being branded as an anti-semite?.

  is it this definition which is actually being targetted at certain members of the labour party?

  According to the Sunday Times, the problem with anti-semitism in the Labour party only reached it's present levels when Labour threw open the doors to membership of the party to anyone who could afford the £3 fee. It's rumoured that many of those new members were in fact muslims, so I guess that could explain a lot.

  My parents did the whole DF routine, as per the edict from Brooklyn. Then, when things relaxed in the late 70's and the society rescinded their hard stance, they became much more accepting. However, when the rescinding was rescinded they didn't renew the hard stance and our relationship stayed more tolerable, albeit some alcohol-fuelled disagreements occasionally surfacing much to the astonishment of my non-JW partner.

  My ex-wife came from a quarrelsome Eastender type of JW family and was forever being bounced one way and then the other by her own parents and siblings.Our children from that marriage were greatly distressed by the hot-then-cold attitude of their blood relatives, so much so that when my ex died they refused to allow any of my ex's 4 siblings to attend the funeral. So in a way the disfellowshippers became the disfellowshippees. Which I guess is karma setting things straight.

  so after the unqualified success of my last review ( green book ) l thought that l would try again .

  l went to see ford versus ferrari / le mans 66 according to where you live .

  now l am no petrol head and talk of motor racing usually makes my eyes glaze over but this film is about much more than laps on a circuit .

  The Apology Tour

  by minimus in

  everyone seems to be hitting the apology circuit.

  if you ever said anything inappropriate or what might be considered offensive, then you must apologize.

  if you possibly could have hurt someone’s feelings, you need to say sorry.

  It's crap. Anyone can use the judgement of today to find fault with the acceptable activities of yesterday and then demand an apology. It's a never-ending spiral.

  I believe that a monarchy is good for Britain overall. However the problems that arise seem always to involve those of the minor royals - the so called members of the Royal Family. The whole shebang needs streamlining.
