  1. It did take an investigation to prove it. Guilty until innocent now eh?
  2. Because it was. I remember it clearly.
  3. I needed an actual investigation and evidence before a response, in accordance with international agreements. If that investigation concludes that the Russians did it, great. Pretty sure this was also Corbyn's position.
  4. Corbyn continues to be a woefully ineffective and deeply frustrating leader who could have achieved so much if not for his own political incompetence. As it is he is a wasted opportunity. Happy? Doesn't change any of my feelings about this utter shitshow from the press though.
  5. This is great news. Several weeks of fucking meaningless nonsense from the press can now come to an end, as they will doubtless move on to the next big issue of the day, and will surely avoid being caught up in another Labour centric storm in a teacup at the behest of the Tory party, the next time a distraction is needed. I'm almost back at the point where I would vote for Corbyn again out of spite if a leadership election came up, solely as a middle finger to the press.
  6. What is the EU's deal at this point in time? Norway? If it's Norway we may as well fucking stay in.
  7. They're basing it on the fact that he banned stop and search and then reintroduced it when crime rose.
  8. Cable to resign in the next year or so once he's lubed the LDs up for the new centrist party's assortment of millionaires.
  9. I dont even have an agenda in defending Corbyn anymore, i want him gone too - but this anti-semitism stuff is doing my fucking head in. I read an article in the Guardian the other day from someone who apparently backed Corbyn through every other anti-Semitism contention but drew the line at this one. Not the anti-Semitism definition, not Ken Livingstone, not the fucking mural, this statement. This statement was just beyond the pale, apparently. FFS.
  10. Absolutely they do. In my opinion. I've said previously on many occasions in the terrorist thread that the whole issue needs to be accepted for pragmatic reasons. The point remains that taking a position against Zionism is not, looked at literally, racist. Islam contains within it a political ideology. Are we not allowed to criticise and reject that without being termed racists? It calls for the Islamation of all states. In effect, the Muslim 'homeland' would be the whole world. Please note that i am not saying all or even most Muslims believe or want this. In fact i think less than half do.
  11. Um, no. I'm saying the opposite. Jewish people could have had a homeland without creating Israel, which was done in a way that was undeniably dismissive of the humanity and needs of the people already living there, presumably because they weren't white enough to be important. Creating Israel was at best, unintentionally racist. This is not the same statement as 'Jewish people having a homeland is a racist endeavour'
  12. As covered before, i believe there is a distinction between a right to a homeland and displacing and persecuting millions of brown people to achieve one.
  13. I'm not disputing that he's anti-zionist. The pattern is clear there.
  14. It's a political ideology backed by a large number of a particular religion. I accept that there is an almost race like status around Judiasm but it remains an 'ism'. Corbyn regularly holds council with anti-zionist Jewish people so i think it's safe to assume that his interests and categorisations are political rather than racial. It all feels like a premise for the establishment of the centrist party which will undoubtedly ensure Tory dominance going forward. But whatever. If i read something clearly anti Semitic from Corbyn then fair enough, but Anti Zionist isn't the same thing. I mean think it through ffs. If Zionist = Jew you wouldn't need both words.
  15. It may be a reasonable position to hold, but I'm not sure that taking issue with how Israel was formed is an antisemitic proposition, even if received wisdom would be that this is an 'unreasonable' contention.
  16. Yeah that doesn't cut it. If 90% of Muslims identified as extremists, would that mean he couldn't say the things he said with the label 'extremists'? (I'm not conflating the severity of the two, although I guess some would). Zionism is a political ideology, not a race. People choose to be zionists. Which is why there are also anti-Zionist Jews. https://zionist.org.uk/
  17. Humour me - at what point did Zionist = Jew?
  18. CT If we get No Deal I'm going to put him on permanent ignore until the point he comes back on here, holds his hands up and admits he's fucking ruined the country.
  19. The fuck? I'm not desperate to prove anything. The numbers are fucking clearly stacked against men on this. I'm just pointing out that she's a hypocrite and a "pig". I also do feel that in a society where gender roles are being eliminated by progressive values, that young men should be considered as vulnerable as young women, at least in the eyes of the people pushing that line of thought. You really have the wrong idea about me mate. It's kind of annoying tbh. My issue is with narratives and bullshit. I will happily fight the corner of any group with the statistical backing of data and research to support the underlying point about the issue. I posted this because it's a kick in the balls for a prevailing narrative, not because i feel like it makes the world an equal place as far as sexual assaults go. Because I'm not wedded to any particular line of ideological nonsense, i feel relatively free to do this.
  20. I see, I forgot that it's not statutory rape when the victim is male. Ok then. Either way, if the victim was female we'd be calling this out as terrible I expect. On the basis that girls can't enjoy sex when they're 17 and boys can, I guess. Progressive thinking right there. Mostly though, it's interesting that she was one of the 'pigs' who was exposed.
  21. It doesn't said he shagged her, it said she assaulted him. I don't know quite what that is meant to mean. But if the 17 year old in question had been coerced or forced, then I guess so.
