Right, after a day like today, time to go get Bladdered on turnip wine.

sandgrounder's avatar is taken from an iconic TV show written by people who know a thing or two about irony. To Corbyn's surprise many of them Jewish.
He can now get back to his allotment where he won't be able to do much damage.

Um... | Quote: | |  | | | Corbyn is on record saying that "Zionist (meaning jews) don't get British sense of humour" - interesting considering sandgrounder avatar.
| | | | | Double um...

The whole episode, not only today. Or yesterday or the last few weeks. Brexit. EF made it even more so. And it keeps delivering.
For all Remainers here: you were stoic. Hats off!

That's the end of that cunning plan, Balders. | | | | | My point is (again) : had corbyn won, jews would be in an unenviable position. Jews like the creators of Blackadder.
And where would the likes of sandgrounder lift their avatars from then?
For weeks many here ignored Corbyn's antisemitic tendencies. The vast majority of voters didn't.

Don't belittle the Jewish populace by pretending people voted against Corbyn to protect them from him.

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: |  | | | It's funny how the whole subject of the Jewish community and antisemitism was only a "thing" when there was an election at stake.
I'm sure they were thrilled to bits to become a vote-winning political pawn to be dragged around the Tory shop window for a few weeks.  | | | | | There's nothing funny about the existential fear that has set in in the Jewish community due to the vitriol and hatred that has emanated from some in Labour.
Please read this 53-page report before you blow this off so lightly: https://www.scribd.com/document/4383...on-to-the-EHRC
If you're not going to read it, please don't dismiss Jewish people's legitimate fear of what a Corbyn premiership could have meant. I direct this also the person who called concern about antisemitism 'irrelevant' and 'deathly dull'.

And for the sake of balance | Quote: |  | | | The Muslim Council of Britain has issued a statement saying there is “a palpable sense of fear amongst Muslim communities” after Johnson’s election victory. This is from Harun Khan, the MCB’s secretary general. 'Mr Johnson commands a majority, but there is a palpable sense of fear amongst Muslim communities around the country. We entered the election campaign period with longstanding concerns about bigotry in our politics and our governing party. Now we worry that Islamophobia is “oven-ready” for government. Mr Johnson has been entrusted with huge power, and we pray it is exercised responsibly for all Britons.
We understand that the prime minister insists that he is a one nation Tory. We earnestly hope that is the case and urge him to lead from the centre and engage with all communities.' | | | | | | The following 2 users would like to thank Castro for this useful post: | |
