Yea sorry about the dog thing. That was not meant to be bait. I was disgusted once I realised.
The rest is not really about me, it's about your paranoia. You didn't go to Harrow. Go back to bed.

You're right, I'm not really sorry.
Sounds like something you like doing?? Looking into shitty carpeted homes?? Your eager defence of the public schoolboy is touching though. Like touching cloth.
I'm bored now so bye for now. Love you!! Back soon!
Yes they did. Did yours? Before you ate them? (don't answer that)

To be fair we have had a few of them over the years. I’m jaded as you can see it miles off now.
We endorse Joe Solo’s statement & we have no compunction in saying that we at FLAF do not share his respect for Hope Not Hate, which is not a grassroots ‘antifascist’ organisation, but a massively funded ‘anti-extremist’ adjunct of the state, intent on shifting the toxic debate over Zionism & Anti-Semitism from the Labour Party to the antifascist movement. We’re warning them now that they will not steamroll militant antifascists into submission over the rights of the Palestinians to a homeland free of interference from Israel.
————————————————
Statement by Joe Solo on Hope Not Hate’s accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’ against him.
Following the statement released last night by Hope Not Hate and Community Union I feel the need to clarify my side of things.
I massively respect the work done by HNH to combat racism on our streets, and I understand their decision to withdraw the HOPE Award under social media pressure.
I have fought against racism, discrimination and victimisation in all their forms my whole life, the first time at knife point aged 14, and will continue to do so until my dying day.
The Jewish community were fascism’s first victims, and the first to show us how to fight back when they took on the Blackshirts up and down this land with their bare hands. Culminating in the Battle Of Cable Street and continuing post-war with the 43 group, they are the inspiration for anti-fascists everywhere to this day. I sing about them at virtually every gig. The idea that I would insult their memory, or the community they fought so hard to defend, is heartbreaking to me, as their example is the one all anti-fascists follow to this day. I absolutely recognise the legitimate concerns of the Jewish Community toward anti-semitism and wish to reassure anyone offended by my portrayal that this is not me. I remain steadfastly dedicated to fighting racism in every form.
I am being accused of denying anti-semitism in the Labour Party. I refute this. I am on record recognising that anti-semitism, alongside racism of all kinds, exists in every area of society, including on the Left and in Labour. I am also on record saying that it needs dealing with via the proper channels wherever it rears its ugly head. We must ensure this is addressed, and I recognise also the responsibility to be clear and direct in the language used around this, and as I have obviously discovered myself, there is a learning curve there for all of us.
Let me be clear, I did not nominate myself for this award, that was a member of the public.
I did not shortlist myself for this award, that was Hope Not Hate.
And after this I won a democratic public vote acknowledging a decade spent fundraising for food banks, soup kitchens, homeless outreach, refugee and asylum seeker support, domestic violence units and youth projects.
I did not put myself on that pedestal, nor did I ask to be placed there.
Today Hope Not Hate have contacted me offering the prize money regardless. I have asked them to split the £5000 five ways and share it among the other shortlisted nominees so that it is fighting racism, bigotry and intolerance in as many places as possible.
I am a Working Class Socialist Trade Unionist and I’m afraid taking that money after the abuse I have suffered this last 36 hours would be the equivalent of hanging my head in shame and crossing a picket line. Something I would not and could not do.
I am going through many emotions after being accused of the worst crimes against humanity. I am tired, angry and disappointed; but above all I am determined to raise the money I promised to community projects from this prize in the run up to Christmas. To this end I would ask your support and solidarity as I really need it right now.
Joe

It'll make a change from the endless repetitions of 1939-45 - the second world war has dominated my life through ceaseless repeats of the Great escape, force ten from navarone, in which we serve, dambusters not to mention allo allo and dad's army etc etc
