Starmer remarks drew these comments from the UK deputies... https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/board-president-urges-starmer-to-reject-divisive-nandy-proposal-for-west-bank-goods-ban-1.501077 Including: The tactic of BDS is divisive and seeks to strike at the very legitimacy of the State of Israel, the Middle East’s only democracy and the world’s only Jewish State.” They’ve stopped short of an accusation but the implication is clear. To be fair it’s fairly measured apart from that. Any more of that post ECHR and I think we know what’s coming

I think the result of the investigation is fair. It’s where it leaves legitimate criticism of Israel I’m talking about. I think that I explained how it’s going to play out with regards to your response fairly clearly . No one even remotely left wing will be able to utter any criticism of Israel without the mass ranks of the Tory press screeching “ANTI SEMITE” and you suggested that the likes of me & Rayvin had better not utter a syllable of bile or we’re going to be lumped in with Corbyn’s goons. That’s how I interpreted your response anyway, correct me if I’m wrong.

Saw some criticism of Lewis yesterday... I thought he’d had a good game till injury time...

That's pretty much you doing what I suggested in my first post Gloom. A fairly liberal character acknowledging criticism is fine but then immediately saying "but you'd better not!" That's shutting down debate using the current narrative, which removes the space for debate. Thanks for literally proving my point .

Seems to me that the result of the Labour AS affair will be the closing down of any mainstream criticism of Israel re the Palestinian situation in the media. Very liberal Jewish folk like David Baddiel (who I like and respect) always say that they object & criticise but you rarely see it . As for the rest of us, who’s going to stick their head above the parapet now? That was always one of Corbyn’s main problems, you go into pro Palestine groups and I’ve no doubt you will find a bunch of foaming mouthed anti semites. The Israeli policy towards Palestine has been a murderous abomination for 70 years. Does that go to the heart of the Israeli state or does it dwell within the hearts of the population who elect those who carry out the policy? It’s almost certainly both, but is it anti Semitic to suggest that?

Im fuckin devastated you’re still twisting on like a 13 year lass tbh

and with that he turned his back on his attacker the ball deflected off his toe and Everton scored

No organisation has advised their employees to use it because they don’t want mass random absenteeism. It’s bad enough having loads off due to known contact We’ve not been told that...

Jamal Lewis has had a really good game....

Never mind that fuckin prancing show pony, your mate has written a memoir, I expect you’re in it

Kicked Wilson up the arse, clear pen...geddin...

As far as I know it’s just Bluetooth, we were sent it on our workphones. If you turn Bluetooth off you get a notification from the app straight away

Everton missing James, that ex Watford prick, Coleman & Digne....if we stop them getting the ball to Calvert Lewin we might scrounge a point at home

Fairly sure local NHSE groups are going into halls & testing regularly at the moment but all students in halls need to be tested before going home to their families for Christmas. That would appear to me to be imperative.

Johnson , at the end of his statement last night, said something that he hasn’t said for months. He went back to the mantra of “protect the NHS”. It appears to me that’s the only thing lockdown does effectively. It doesn’t kill the virus, but it does enough to stop it spreading at the rates we’re seeing at the moment. With no staff to man the Nightingales he had no choice. I think some in the cabinet would’ve let us fry, there’s a huge school on thought that thinks the cure is deadlier than the disease but Johnson just thinks the optics of that are too much for him.

I look after an NHSE building in Taunton, a group of officers from the Royal Marines stationed nearby were based there during the first lockdown . They did the local planning for test & trace. It’s a no brainier for me for the military to get involved.

Not sure how accurate this is? Am sure the Rt. Hon. member for McGillycuddy Reeks @ewerk will be able to tell us

Sounds like a good night did you winess any champagne enemas??

The worst sort of Scottish Nationalist....apart from English fuckers gone native obvs....fucker couldn't wait to see the back of Slateford...tbf, can't blame him for that ...RIP

Fuck me yeah.... I was at my brothers 40th in Edinburgh on the Saturday night...,got a couple of hours sleep then got the 0800 train from Haymarket with a breakfast consisting of a four pack of Strongbow to the game. Think I had a couple with @Howmanheyman postgame in the Percy, a fuckin brilliant day.... 10 years on, not allowed into the City of Edinburgh to celebrate my brothers 50th & the mackems are in divi 3 without a pot to piss in, so not all bad

Sorry to hear that Troops. My mates missus is a hairdresser, she got infected then passed it on to my mate and their two boys. They’re all fine and out of isolation. Hope all your folks are ok.

Nobby Stiles, 78 The phrase "working class hero" seems like an 20th century cliche in these times, but to me he epitomised the ordinary lad who was worshipped by millions. RIP Nobby, they'll never be another like you...
