It took me ages to realise that was a werewolf joke, I kept on reading it as you doing a Joe Strummer impression.

The joke being he’s not alright now-oooh. He’s a red/brown dick.

 

[danny la rouge]

Although I’m flattered I remind you of Joe Strummer.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Probably wants to get that looked at

I always assumed he jumped on the Corbynista bandwagon because he sensed it was where the LP were going at the time and he could carve out a niche rallying the troupes saying whatever he thought might appeal to them. Now he's playing the ex-Labour circuit with the high concentration of loons. An opportunist with no political nowse.

he was a known ' Blairite' , voted for cuts on Derby council etc .... I guess people can go on political journeys in middle age / any age, and over relatively short periods of time , eg : Steve Topple might have been an A/S conspira crank in 2014, and not now etc etc...but haven't really seen it happen much from personal experience, IRL, or even on here ( with the odd notable exception - but the direction of travel had become pretty obvs imo )

( and, erm, do accept the irony of having been personally ground down by persistent reason /evidence / argument on here re : some left Lab related matters...but consider this partic ' journey' to be within a fairly narrow ideological / political landscape, and anyway, am, a : just some blurt on interweb, not a self proclaimed standard bearer , and , b : slightly pissed )

So some mad racist yoga teacher has had a tantrum about journalists committing the appalling act of discussing the mad racist (public) comments of the yoga teacher. Some daft labour MPs have joined in this latest round of ‘anti-racism’ (ie supporting the mad racist yoga teacher). Can’t help themselves

Emma Barnett responds after Kelechi Okafor drops out over ‘vile’ Woman’s Hour comments

 

[cantsin]

This Kelechi character sounded like a dishonest, A/S asshole , running on to twitter to claim she'd just been ' violently' treated etc , while ( the awful ) Barnett + co were just on air - but can you point us to the Labour MPs that have backed her ?

edit ; found her : Chi Onwurah, and v surprised to see she hasn't withdrawn her initial comment of support for Kelechi
edit 2 : R4 / Barnett doing no one any favours by giving the excecrable Lionel Shriver a free pass for her anti BLM / MeToo gubbins on the show that followed

 

[Shechemite]

That I can see it’s eshalomi and onruwah. They’ve gone with ‘diversity of voices being silenced’ schtick. Daft sods.

 

[Shechemite]

Right charmer. Definitely someone to rally round Kelechi Okafor

 

[19force8]

Emilie Oldknow lost her case to force the Labour Party to reveal who leaked 'that' report [hint: they don't know] and has been ordered to pay Labour's costs and possibly those of Unite who instructed the remarkably expensive Carter Fuck. Also not allowed to appeal.

 

[19force8]

Slight correction to the above. It seems the judge specifically ordered Unite's costs paid. The shocker* in this tweet is that Labour hardly put up a defence.

* no shock at all

 

[MrSki]

failed to offer an effective opposition.

The Judge was taking the piss.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread but here's a proposal for an alternative to the IHRA definition of anti-semitism:

The Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism | JDA

The Jerusalem Declaration The Jerusalem Declaration On Antisemitism On Antisemitism The Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism is a tool to identify, confront and raise awareness about antisemitism as it manifests in countries around the world today. It includes a preamble, definition, and a set...

jerusalemdeclaration.org

 

[Shechemite]

Been reading that. In many ways better than the IHRA. Thought they should have included the ‘inequitable conditions’ component that’s in the nexus document

 

[Knotted]

Point 15 is exactly right IMO.

 

[MrSki]

This will put the cat amongst the pigeons.

'From a foreword to a forthcoming study on the EHRC's failings produced by Jewish Voice for Labour' it says, further down that thread.

I'd guess it's probably going to have... limited impact.

 

[Shechemite]

Surprised to see JVL are still going.

All books have limited impact

The word is authored.

 

[Shechemite]

I guess authoring a love letter is less romantic than having penned one

 

[Jay Park]

All books have limited impact

Unless dropped from a great height

Probably wants to get that looked at

depends whether it's solicited or not
