WHats the strategy in calling an election for BJ?

Mr Pink said:
I would think the views expressed are relevant to views which are expressed here by previous posters. What is happening in the U.K. and the anti U.K. views expressed here invite a reply. A conservative majority will most likely happen and calling an election now may assist in getting Brexit through.

Yes, but it won't bring back the Empire, the 1950's, remove Jonnie-foreigner or get rid of the Darkies so the little-Englanders will still not be happy. It will make the Etonian old-boys happy as it will keep the biggest tax and dirty money haven in the world open and away from proper oversight but it will hurt middle-income working people, not that the Etonians care about them.

I should certainly hope so! The playing fields of Eton and all that...

Interesting post indeed. If Ireland is the name of the country why is Eire on the stamps and on uniforms in the Irish Navy. -well not a navy really is it?-as for Wales sucked dry by England and are colonies it would be news to the Welsh-What happened to the names of Eireann, The Free State, or the Republic of Ireland-maybe they should have called it Hibernia and not confuse themselves

The Welsh who are aware of their economic history won't be surprised. The name of this country is clearly defined in our Constitution. We even wrote our one down!

I like England and the English. I like Wales and Scotland and their people too. I dislike class systems, assumptions of status and inherited privilege. I dislike bigotry, racism and all forms of Nationalism. For those reasons I strongly dislike the current leadership of the British Conservative and Unionist Party, the leadership of the Brexit movement and the entire premise of Brexit.

Saw the highlights of last nights debate.
Didn’t notice it before, but Jezzer’s eyes are totally mismatched.
His left eye is normal enough, maybe slightly oversized.
Then his right eye is very closed, slit-like.

Very similar eyes to Eileen Dunne.

I wonder if he’s got a neck like hers?

So temped to edit one word in your post... remove one little "s"...
 
I am joining this late but have the Brits invaded AAM??? I was concerned enough that people from Cork were being allowed to express views. This is completely unacceptable. He even changed from Royanne to Mr.Pink to trick us. There is no end to these guys cunning. I reckon if we trace their IP address it will lead straight back to Conservative Press Office a.k.a. Factcheck UK...…..

"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."

Obviously Noam Chomsky wasn't talking about Cork people when he said that but those from Perfidious Albion and her vassals should be free to air their views (or shout into the void, depending on your perspective).

Of course they should, that does not mean there is any obligation on anyone to respond to deliberately provocative nonsense.

Is there anything underneath Letting Off Steam because it has degenerated a fair bit...….

Still, it was entertaining to see Purple defending this great Nation from its oppressive imperialistic overlords....

Thank you very much sir, my work here is done. I have single handedly thwarted yet another foreign aggressor from our fair shores!

Letting Out Wind?

Kudos to @Purple for defeating the anti-Irish racist bigoted troll in a dignified and resolute way, arguably, in a quintessentially British (in a good) way.
 
1/4 million Jews in UK, 2.5 million Muslims - I think the Chief Rabbi has made a mistake; escalating this issue will drive Muslims and Jews to polarise between Labour and Tory resp. although admittedly Labour probably had the Muslim vote in its pocket anyway.
As for the rest of voters I think they are inclined to give JC the benefit of his stout denials whilst Bojo's letter box gaffe leaves him with little denial room.
I also think the CR revealed a political motivation. He made a point of mentioning JC's support for Hammas - and this is what he really fears; a UK government sympathetic to the Palestinian side of that conflict - a bit disingenuous to play the racism/anti-semitism card.
 
Jeremy is anti anyone who isn't a raving socialist so he won't like Israel anyway but I agree that opposing Israeli foreign policy is not anti semitic. That said the criticism of Corbyn as anti semitic is broader and deeper than just being anti Israeli.
 
Corbyn is not anti-Semitic, neither is the UK Labour party.
Certainly, some members who joined up have expressed anti-Semitic rhetoric and should be rightly condemned. The Labour party and Corbyn should be rightly criticised for not heeding the reports of anti-semitism within the Labour party and dealing with it more promptly and effectively.

Doesn't the next bit sort of contradict the first bit?

So there are anti semites in the UK Labour Party who have said and done anti semitic things and the leadership has failed to criticise them. I think Jeremy's silence spoke volumes. The fact that he's a petty, thin-skinned generally unpleasant humourless person doesn't help his case. Boris loves him though, I'm sure.
 
Swapping Jeremy Corbyn for pretty much anyone would probably boost labour's chances by about 10 points. There are a lot of disgruntled anti-brexit conservative voters who want to vote for someone else who might get brexit reversed, but they can't bring themselves to vote for labour under Corbyn. They'd rather have brexit than a Corbyn government.

Corbyn and the Labour party have been forthright in their condemnation of anti-Semitism within the Labour party and anywhere else for that matter.
Corbyn has given an explicit apology for the failures of the Labour party and leadership for not dealing sooner with accusations of anti-Semitism in the Labour party, a failure that he and the party have been rightly criticised for.
But in no way shape or form can this failure, in consideration of long-standing and continuing party policy and activism, be reasonably be deduced as anti-Semitic.

I've often wondered what would be worse of the UK....

Brexit + BoJo
or
Remain + Corbyn

Brexit + Corbyn of course would be the perfect storm...
