Even with Trump's very high shame threshold, I cannot see his failure to receive an invitation to the late Sen John McCain's memorial as anything other than deeply embarrassing, possibly damagingly so. That two of McCain's most high profile opponents – Bush Jr and Obama – have both been asked to deliver eulogies doubles down the pain on Trumpton. His absence will be conspicuous.
It’s embarrassing but it’s the price he has paid for a lack of basic decency towards a political opponent. In this case, revenge really has been a dish eaten very cold indeed.
I'd like to believe it will hurt him but to be honest I think Trump will brush this off quite easily. Best hope of seeing Trump suffer, at least within the realms of decency, is him losing badly come the next election, although obviously that might not happen.
Agreed.
(If I were to tease you, I’d say he’s very like Corbyn in that regard. But I can imagine your eye-rolling already.......).
I recently read the family history, "The Hare With Amber Eyes," in which a Jewish family is present in Paris during the Dreyfus affair and in Vienna up until the Anschluss and it brought home to me how vulnerable minorities are, and how reliant they are upon the protection of people of decency.
I don't have any time left for Corbyn.
I recall reading that some time ago. The family always seemed to be looking over their shoulders to see where the next threat was coming from, and that tallies with other books I’ve read which feature Jews.
One can understand therefore the communities sensitivity when a threat appears, whether it’s real or not.
The Dreyfus affair highlighted all these issues. Even in my own family, the reason my mother’s family ended up in Italy was because her great-grandfather, a French Jew, felt that he could progress no further in France and left for Italy. And barely 40 years later, despite being Catholics by then, the family could not be certain that their well-known Jewish ancestry would not make them vulnerable. One reason why my mother and her siblings spent most of the war years hidden in Rome’s convents.
@TheJezziah may congratulate himself that most minorities vote Labour. But other minorities might well look at what is happening to the Jews and Labour and ask themselves whether, if this can happen to them, why could it not happen to us, if the political climate changes or a leader changes or it becomes expedient to pick on another group to scapegoat.
After all, theoretically, Labour are all for womens’ rights but that has not stopped them talking to gender segregated meetings or ignoring the rape of girls when convenient or even demanding that women allow biological males to share their spaces. They’re all in favour of gay rights but their leader takes money from the propaganda arm of a regime which hangs gay men from cranes and uses rape as a weapon in prison.
Once you start “othering” one group, you are sending out a signal not just to them but to everyone about your approach. Labour and the Tories both need to take note of this. We are all minorities in some way.
I would never have known you were Jewish. Till you told us.
I haven't spoken too much on Corbyn and his problems but there is no doubt the words from the former Chief Rabbi will resonate with most voters who do not listen to the detailed and at times complex rebuttals from his supporters.
It is interesting that Julia Hartley Brewer in her LBC radio programme directly accused Corbyn live on air as being anti semetic and a racist and invited him to sue her. Over to you Corbyn
There is nothing wrong with being briefed but MPs should explain the sources of their information and not simply act as mouthpieces for others. That applies to Corbyn as much as to anyone else.
An enterprising journalist might want to check some of his Parliamentary speeches and see whether he is in the habit of merely repeating pre-written lines fed to him by others.
Yeah I have heard that as well, haven't checked it out myself but it seems plausible that they didn't use exact phrases. I took it as more a general they used the same arguments/points rather than being specific, although that is a generous interpretation. This is the bit I am least sure about.
AFAIK there was no singling out of Jewish MPs, happy to be corrected here (maybe I've missed something) but my impression was he was talking about (to use simply labelling) the pro Israeli side in a particular debate, there are far more MPs with (what could be labelled) a pro Israeli POV than there are Jewish MPs. Edit: Wouldn't there have been some Jewish MPs not on the other side of the debate anyway? I suppose it depends when the debate was but there have been Jewish MPs who have been strong critics of Israel.
Claiming that pro Israeli MPs would push pro Israeli talking points and that the Israeli embassy would also assist in pushing pro Israeli talking points isn't controversial IMO. I assume similar would happen with a fair few countries were you to swap Israel for another country in that sentence.
Corbyn and those around him aren't pro Russia, certainly not in the way some MPs are pro Israel (and not in the way the right like to talk about) but people are happy to make various accusations about Corbyn, those around him and various Russian people in power. Would this suddenly be racist if the Russians were not (mostly) White people or would the reasons people push this line still exist independently of their suddenly different ethnicity?
I don’t have answers to your questions about what happened in the debate. Perhaps let’s wait for more facts to emerge.
Claiming that pro-Israeli MPs would make pro-Israeli points and got assistance from the Israeli Embassy is fine if it is true. It is not fine if it is not true. Then it is an assumption, possibly a prejudiced one.
That is why it is necessary to be clear what Corbyn claimed and what evidence he had for his claims.
Assumptions can be all kinds of things but we don't make similarly negative assumptions about those people who assume negative things about Corbyn and people around him.
The real problem is that these solutions are not really compatible with what our government has already signed up for. That was a mistake.
That is the nub - we can do all sorts of things, as you say registration being however a pre-requisite for most of them. We don't seem to have started this. Plus the scope for c**k-up has got to be monumental in as you say such a frighteningly large job.
I can't see FOM stopping before any transition period now. If we wanted it to work from March next year we would have had to start work a year ago at least.
Didn't we agree last December that FOM would continue during any transition period anyway? The whole point of the transition is that all rules (including FOM and payment) continue as is even though we've left.
Well yes, but we only have a transition period if we have a deal. No deal, no transition, no freedom of movement.
No, the transition period just requires agreement on citizens rights, payments and the Irish border.
A final free trade deal will almost certainly not be agreed before the transition but be worked on during the transition period

Well yes, but we only have a transition period if we have a deal. No deal, no transition, no freedom of movement.
Well agreed yes but your comment was "FOM stopping before any transition period" ... we've already agreed that won't happen. If there's no transition then there's an almighty long list of things we need to resolve but that simply won't happen. May will fold like a pack of cards and sign whatever Barnier gives her. And enough in Parliament will fold too.
This could be clearer but the position as I understand it from Chequers is that any FOM during the transition period will be restricted. The suggestion is that you will need proof of a job or an education place before you are allowed to come rather than having a period to look for one when you get here. What I think we can infer from the announcement today is that those who come during that period may not qualify for the 5 year right of residency either but it is not entirely clear because there is also reference to "working up" to the 5 years and it may be that this could happen after any transition period is finished.
The UK would be going back on what it agreed in principle December last year in that case.

An interesting article on the timing of the Corbyn antisemitism attacks, of course, it is all pure chance. After all we have all been conned over the past 30 years or so, in his anti-apartheid activities, his anti racism stance, his anti fascism was all a cover for his antisemitism.

I’m not. Other than through ancestry. No idea whether Israel would regard me as Jewish. My family on both sides have been Catholics since forever, apart from the Jewish branch, obviously.

Even with Trump's very high shame threshold, I cannot see his failure to receive an invitation to the late Sen John McCain's memorial as anything other than deeply embarrassing, possibly damagingly so. That two of McCain's most high profile opponents – Bush Jr and Obama – have both been asked to deliver eulogies doubles down the pain on Trumpton. His absence will be conspicuous.
It’s embarrassing but it’s the price he has paid for a lack of basic decency towards a political opponent. In this case, revenge really has been a dish eaten very cold indeed.
Indeed so. In so many ways, McCain has had the last laugh.

Do you mean in synagogues? I was thinking of political meetings.
This whole conundrum is an example of the consequences of the British government’s reluctance to treat former colonies as independent countries. If we go back to 1922, was it really sensible to permit freedom of movement with a state with irredentist aspirations? Was it sensible to give all inhabitants of the empire freedom of movement? Is it really sensible today to grant voting rights to non-citizens who happen to be born in former colonies?
We have never thought about nation-building in the same way as the French. That insouciance has consequences.
Then again, if the Unionists had settled for 4 rather than 6 counties we probably wouldn’t be in this mess.

The law Israel has recently passed is absolutely appalling but it does not introduce segregation.
The trouble is you won’t be lectured on this by anyone, not even voters here who - and this is something quite unprecedented - have taken to protesting outside Parliament about the attitude your party’s leader has taken. You won’t listen to the unions who fund you or your elected deputy Leader or your MPs or the Jewish Labour Movement or the voters of Barnet or many other decent Labour people who are troubled and have been begging the leadership to take effective and timely action.
One day all this hubristic not listening and thinking your leader is beyond all criticism is going to come back and bite you on the bum - hard. It may not be for quite a while. But it will happen. Nemesis is the word. The only question is how much harm Labour is doing to its reputation and politics generally in the meanwhile.

Yeah I have heard that as well, haven't checked it out myself but it seems plausible that they didn't use exact phrases. I took it as more a general they used the same arguments/points rather than being specific, although that is a generous interpretation. This is the bit I am least sure about.

I recently read the family history, "The Hare With Amber Eyes," in which a Jewish family is present in Paris during the Dreyfus affair and in Vienna up until the Anschluss and it brought home to me how vulnerable minorities are, and how reliant they are upon the protection of people of decency.
I don't have any time left for Corbyn.
I recall reading that some time ago. The family always seemed to be looking over their shoulders to see where the next threat was coming from, and that tallies with other books I’ve read which feature Jews.
One can understand therefore the communities sensitivity when a threat appears, whether it’s real or not.
The Dreyfus affair highlighted all these issues. Even in my own family, the reason my mother’s family ended up in Italy was because her great-grandfather, a French Jew, felt that he could progress no further in France and left for Italy. And barely 40 years later, despite being Catholics by then, the family could not be certain that their well-known Jewish ancestry would not make them vulnerable. One reason why my mother and her siblings spent most of the war years hidden in Rome’s convents.
@TheJezziah may congratulate himself that most minorities vote Labour. But other minorities might well look at what is happening to the Jews and Labour and ask themselves whether, if this can happen to them, why could it not happen to us, if the political climate changes or a leader changes or it becomes expedient to pick on another group to scapegoat. . We are all minorities in some way.
Point of order. Jonathan Sacks talks to gender segregated meetings on a regular basis. I wouldn't accuse him of being anti women's rights.
Do you mean in synagogues? I was thinking of political meetings.
As a humanist atheist who has zero interest in religion and who has never entered a synagogue or mosque (and only a temple and a church while a tourist or at a wedding) I have learned only fairly recently that gender separation in religious and politics meetings still exists. With such preposterously backward practices, these religions deserve to lose all their followers. Shame on those who indulge them.
Why is the far left ideologically anti-Semitic, or cutting to the chase, why does it hate Jews, whether we are British or israeli?
The whole essence of the left's philosophy is that people should be dependent on the state. The state should control your work, your housing, your health, your education, and even if Corbyn recent speech is to be believed, broadcasting and the media.
By contrast, if there is one unifying factor to the Jewish view of the world, it is self-reliance, and that is irrespective of whether it is individual self-reliance or communal self-reliance, and in the case of Israel state self-reliance. So the very existence of the the Jewish people, and their very survival, is anathema to Corbyn and his ilk, because their survival constantly proves his fundamental philosophy wrong, and without out us, life would be so much simpler for him.
There are fewer than 300,000 Jews in the UK. I can't believe that more than 250 of them still vote Labour so I really don't see what harm this will all do him.
But I'd say there are more than 3,000,000 Labour voters - liberal, metropolitan in outlook, wholly decent people - who will be very, very uneasy at the notion of putting their X on the ballot paper to make an anti-semite our Prime Minister.
FAO Big G Your post is incorrect She said I believe..........
It is interesting that Julia Hartley Brewer in her LBC radio programme directly accused Corbyn live on air as being anti semetic and a racist and invited him to sue her. Over to you Corbyn
She said I believe..........
Let’s test the theory,
If she is so sure, why not say it,
Say, “Jeremy Corbyn is an anti Semite”
I double dare her, go on
Don’t say I “believe” he is
Kids “believe” Santa is real, does that mean he is?
You need to listen to the whole broadcast and you will see she accused Corbyn as an anti semite and racist and invited him to sue her live on air. So upto Corbyn now
From what i read she said "I believe Corbyn is an anti semite and racist" and invited him to sue her live on air.
if i am incorrect and she said "Corbyn is an anti semite and racist" that is completely different

1) Counts Jewhaters as his friends 2) Attends commemorative events for those who murdered Jews 3) Speaks at conferences in which other speakers have called for the destruction of Israel and by implication its Jewish inhabitants 4) Has accused British Jews of not understanding English irony
Anti-semitism is an unhelpful term. Let’s follow Orwell’s rules for good English usage and call Jeremy Corbyn what he is:
Why is the far left ideologically anti-Semitic, or cutting to the chase, why does it hate Jews, whether we are British or israeli?
The whole essence of the left's philosophy is that people should be dependent on the state. The state should control your work, your housing, your health, your education, and even if Corbyn recent speech is to be believed, broadcasting and the media.

You of all people then should be very wary of stereotyping.
Some of the most celebrated Jews in history were from the 'left'
1) Counts Jewhaters as his friends 2) Attends commemorative events for those who murdered Jews 3) Speaks at conferences in which other speakers have called for the destruction of Israel and by implication its Jewish inhabitants 4) Has accused British Jews of not understanding English irony

1 Incorrect "friends" is a term he uses even to people he fundamentally disagrees with 2 He doesnt 3 He hasnt agreed with them 4 He hasnt you do not understand irony
You have cheapened the term anti semite and jew hater

Exactly, even if we have got to the stage where to suggest that some of us goyim think that what happened to Anne Frank was suboptimal feels like naive, godwinning, crypto zionist, hodgecomparison claptrap.
I recently read the family history, "The Hare With Amber Eyes," in which a Jewish family is present in Paris during the Dreyfus affair and in Vienna up until the Anschluss and it brought home to me how vulnerable minorities are, and how reliant they are upon the protection of people of decency.
I don't have any time left for Corbyn.
I recall reading that some time ago. The family always seemed to be looking over their shoulders to see where the next threat was coming from, and that tallies with other books I’ve read which feature Jews.
One can understand therefore the communities sensitivity when a threat appears, whether it’s real or not.
The Dreyfus affair highlighted all these issues. Even in my own family, the reason my mother’s family ended up in Italy was because her great-grandfather, a French Jew, felt that he could progress no further in France and left for Italy. And barely 40 years later, despite being Catholics by then, the family could not be certain that their well-known Jewish ancestry would not make them vulnerable. One reason why my mother and her siblings spent most of the war years hidden in Rome’s convents.
@TheJezziah may congratulate himself that most minorities vote Labour. But other minorities might well look at what is happening to the Jews and Labour and ask themselves whether, if this can happen to them, why could it not happen to us, if the political climate changes or a leader changes or it becomes expedient to pick on another group to scapegoat.
After all, theoretically, Labour are all for womens’ rights but that has not stopped them talking to gender segregated meetings or ignoring the rape of girls when convenient or even demanding that women allow biological males to share their spaces. They’re all in favour of gay rights but their leader takes money from the propaganda arm of a regime which hangs gay men from cranes and uses rape as a weapon in prison.
Once you start “othering” one group, you are sending out a signal not just to them but to everyone about your approach. Labour and the Tories both need to take note of this. We are all minorities in some way.
Point of order. Jonathan Sacks talks to gender segregated meetings on a regular basis. I wouldn't accuse him of being anti women's rights.
Do you mean in synagogues? I was thinking of political meetings.
Synagogues certainly-but also at weddings funerals and all gatherings of orthodox Jews.

Excellent interview with TM by Michael Crick. 'Aren't you going to feel ashamed when you go to Robbin Island that the lady you supported was intent on him staying there?'

Yes but it’s ordinary decent incompetence. Not like that nasty Labour Party sh%t.
There has never been a killing by an Israel that has been condemned by Jonathan Sacks. His interviews make Martin Mcguiness look like the IRA's biggest critic.

When I arrived, P W Botha was the state president. Thatcher could not stand Botha, whom she knew to have been a German sympathiser during the Second World War. When she met him at Chequers in June 1984, the notes taken by Botha’s foreign minister show that she told him “very firmly” that “apartheid had to be dismantled, Mandela and other prisoners released” and the “forcible removal of urban blacks had to stop”.
And
Afterwards, Mandela told me that the prime minister was a “woman he could do business with”. At his press conference that afternoon, choosing his words with heavy emphasis, Mandela declared that Thatcher “is an enemy of apartheid”.
But what do Nelson Mandela and the then British Ambassador to South Africa know?

It appears Corbyn's labour is in open warfare against the British Jewish Community.
I just find the whole thing horrific, especially being a very young impressionable child when the pictures from Auschwitz and other camps were dominating the news media
Labour should be ashamed and those mps staying in the party are complicit, whether they like it or not.
"compliments 'convential' " is good, and I think he may be confusing homeopathy with herbalism. Water is not organic matter, and some of the additives are things like arsenic and common salt. This man is not intellectually equipped to clean latrines for a living.

If that is the case...... labour is in open warfare..... then Labour should indeed be ashamed of getting into this position.

That is NOT a widely held view though there are a lot of revisionist historians doing the rounds at the moment. Many of us remember John Major and Margaret Thatcher returning from a Commonwealth meeting holding thumb and forefinger together saying we didn't give an inch to those wanting to bring in sanctions. The UK were in a minority of ONE.
After Mandela's release I did a two week job in south Africa and it was an almost unanimous view that sanctions alone was the reason for the ending of apartheid.

I don't think that is right. I mainly think Corbyn is a risible twat; the only grounds I can see for hating him rather than just pointing at him and laughing, is anti-semitism itself. So it is wrong to claim that attacking him for anti-semitism is a proxy for attacking him for anything else.
It is of course wrong to exaggerate; it is also wrong to minimise. Say the road to Auschwitz is 100 miles long, and ten years ago we were 10 yards down it, and say Corbyn's Labour have added another 100 yards to that. 100 yards is a trivial fraction of 100 miles (1/1760, I think) but this is a case where zero tolerance is the only way.

Today, chip fabrication company Global Foundries announced that it is stopping all development of its next-generation 7 nanometre process. This leaves only three companies developing this claass of technology: Intel, Samsung and TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
Back in the 1980s, there were many (from memory, over 30) companies who could fab latest-gen chips. Now there are just three.
This is an indications that Moore's Law is finally coming to an end: it has been kept going by architecture and process improvements, and the latter is coming shuddering to a halt as the new processes are just too expensive to develop.
It also means that all the fabless chip design companies (in which the UK excel) will have even less choice if they want to use the latest tech - and this will have knock-on effects in the future. Also expect next-gen chips to be more expensive, as competition and capacity has been reduced. Non-Intel manufacturers essentially have only two to choose from.

He is not a favourite of mine. However I do not agree with that assessment. The last Labour leader was ridiculed ,and left the party further away from power, with a slightly left agenda. There was no shame in those days attacking for looking funny, been a back stabber etc All underhand Jewish tropes.

The main similarity between Trump and Corbyn, is in how their opponents react to them. They go so hysterically OTT, and sound so completely unhinged, that in the end the "middle ground" voters just end up tuning out all their opponents' attacks on them.
Blair might have hopeless political judgement these days, but IMO people would be well-advised to take his advice on how to criticise opponents:
"I never made my line of attack overly harsh. I always tried to make it telling. The aim was to get the non-politician nodding. I would wonder not what appealed to a Labour Party Conference in full throttle, but what would appeal to my old mates at the Bar, who wanted a reasonable case to be made .... Expressed like that, these attacks seem flat, rather mundane almost, and not exactly inspiring - but that's their appeal. Any one of these charges, if it comes to believed, is actually fatal. Yes, it's not like calling your opponent a liar, or a fraud, or a villain or a hypocrite, but the middle-ground floating voter kind of shrugs their shoulders at these claims. They don't chime. They're too over the top, too heavy, and they represent an insult, not an argument. Whereas the lesser charge, because it's more accurate and precisely because it's more low-key, can stick."

I might add that, given the content of the posts, my impersonator may well be a Russian bot.
Not sure this guy is going to do too well on Tinder...
Actually he might. Now the subset of people interested romantically in a guy with half a nose may well be 0.000001% of the population, but he'll have all those freaks and weirdos to himself.
"compliments 'convential' " is good, and I think he may be confusing homeopathy with herbalism. Water is not organic matter, and some of the additives are things like arsenic and common salt. This man is not intellectually equipped to clean latrines for a living.
I'd bet a far higher percentage than average of the core-Corbynite-cultists are firm believers in homeopathy.

It is interesting that Julia Hartley Brewer in her LBC radio programme directly accused Corbyn live on air as being anti semetic and a racist and invited him to sue her. Over to you Corbyn

I mean seriously

JHB has made a public pronouncement that Corbyn is anti semetic and a racist.
What should Corbyn do about it
We will therefore not be lectured by a man who defends Israel’s racist apartheid regime
2ndly JHB is a shock Jock

This whole conundrum is an example of the consequences of the British government’s reluctance to treat former colonies as independent countries. If we go back to 1922, was it really sensible to permit freedom of movement with a state with irredentist aspirations? Was it sensible to give all inhabitants of the empire freedom of movement? Is it really sensible today to grant voting rights to non-citizens who happen to be born in former colonies?
We have never thought about nation-building in the same way as the French. That insouciance has consequences.
Then again, if the Unionists had settled for 4 rather than 6 counties we probably wouldn’t be in this mess.
She is her own person with lots of quirks but she is a grown up and does it her way

She said I believe..........
Let’s test the theory,
If she is so sure, why not say it,
Say, “Jeremy Corbyn is an anti Semite”
I double dare her, go on
Don’t say I “believe” he is
Kids “believe” Santa is real, does that mean he is?
“I wouldn’t start from here.”
And I'm not strange.
Well, maybe a little bit ...
The trouble is you won’t be lectured on this by anyone, not even voters here who - and this is something quite unprecedented - have taken to protesting outside Parliament about the attitude your party’s leader has taken. You won’t listen to the unions who fund you or your elected deputy Leader or your MPs or the Jewish Labour Movement or the voters of Barnet or many other decent Labour people who are troubled and have been begging the leadership to take effective and timely action.
One day all this hubristic not listening and thinking your leader is beyond all criticism is going to come back and bite you on the bum - hard. It may not be for quite a while. But it will happen. Nemesis is the word. The only question is how much harm Labour is doing to its reputation and politics generally in the meanwhile.

The whole essence of the left's philosophy is that people should be dependent on the state. The state should control your work, your housing, your health, your education, and even if Corbyn recent speech is to be believed, broadcasting and the media.
By contrast, if there is one unifying factor to the Jewish view of the world, it is self-reliance, and that is irrespective of whether it is individual self-reliance or communal self-reliance, and in the case of Israel state self-reliance. So the very existence of the the Jewish people, and their very survival, is anathema to Corbyn and his ilk, because their survival constantly proves his fundamental philosophy wrong, and without out us, life would be so much simpler for him.
if i am incorrect and she said "Corbyn is an anti semite and racist" that is completely different
Are you sure??
I believe and I think
1) Counts Jewhaters as his friends
2) Attends commemorative events for those who murdered Jews
3) Speaks at conferences in which other speakers have called for the destruction of Israel and by implication its Jewish inhabitants
4) Has accused British Jews of not understanding English irony
Anti-semitism is an unhelpful term. Let’s follow Orwell’s rules for good English usage and call Jeremy Corbyn what he is:
A Jewhater.
On what basis is Corbyn meant to sue ?
Corbyn has suffered no financial harm.
And, surely no politician would be wise to sue under the heading of harm to reputation.
We dont

Labour's official response to Lord Sacks is utterly tone deaf:

Some of the most celebrated Jews in history were from the 'left'
2 He doesnt
3 He hasnt agreed with them
4 He hasnt you do not understand irony
You have cheapened the term anti semite and jew hater
You should be ashamed.
'I believe Jeremy Corbyn is anti semetic and a racist and he can sue me.
She added
'I think you are an anti semite and take me to court and get it out in the open'
No ambiguity there

Embarrassed shrug move on.......
"the country's rabbis" -> "Signatories of a political statement"
Engels wasn't. Just saying as well.
When I arrived, P W Botha was the state president. Thatcher could not stand Botha, whom she knew to have been a German sympathiser during the Second World War. When she met him at Chequers in June 1984, the notes taken by Botha’s foreign minister show that she told him “very firmly” that “apartheid had to be dismantled, Mandela and other prisoners released” and the “forcible removal of urban blacks had to stop”.
And
Afterwards, Mandela told me that the prime minister was a “woman he could do business with”. At his press conference that afternoon, choosing his words with heavy emphasis, Mandela declared that Thatcher “is an enemy of apartheid”.
But what do Nelson Mandela and the then British Ambassador to South Africa know?

I just find the whole thing horrific, especially being a very young impressionable child when the pictures from Auschwitz and other camps were dominating the news media
Labour should be ashamed and those mps staying in the party are complicit, whether they like it or not.

Customs Union and Single Market for example.
At the time this was quite a commonly held view, as seen in the 2009 Dispatches programme below:

I repeat you cheapen the terms Anti Semite and Jew Hater and should be ashamed
What on earth could be on the agenda
You convince no-one here.

Exaggeration and hyperbole , seem to overtaken this site.
Mainly due to their hatred of Corbyn.
A Labour MP yesterday called a party member Anti Semitic for calling Mike Gapes "Gammon"
Royal Blue calls Jezza a Jew Hater
It just diminishes the term(s)
After al, if he wasn't he wouldn't be in this mess and Labour would be in with a decent shout of wrecking the Tories for a generation.
Because you say so .

Not sure this guy is going to do too well on Tinder...
After Mandela's release I did a two week job in south Africa and it was an almost unanimous view that sanctions alone was the reason for the ending of apartheid.
And even normally sensible Big G takes this right wing Arab Hater Rabbis word is gospel today
It is of course wrong to exaggerate; it is also wrong to minimise. Say the road to Auschwitz is 100 miles long, and ten years ago we were 10 yards down it, and say Corbyn's Labour have added another 100 yards to that. 100 yards is a trivial fraction of 100 miles (1/1760, I think) but this is a case where zero tolerance is the only way.
Today, chip fabrication company Global Foundries announced that it is stopping all development of its next-generation 7 nanometre process. This leaves only three companies developing this claass of technology: Intel, Samsung and TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
Back in the 1980s, there were many (from memory, over 30) companies who could fab latest-gen chips. Now there are just three.
This is an indications that Moore's Law is finally coming to an end: it has been kept going by architecture and process improvements, and the latter is coming shuddering to a halt as the new processes are just too expensive to develop.
It also means that all the fabless chip design companies (in which the UK excel) will have even less choice if they want to use the latest tech - and this will have knock-on effects in the future. Also expect next-gen chips to be more expensive, as competition and capacity has been reduced. Non-Intel manufacturers essentially have only two to choose from.
This is not a good thing (tm).
However I do not agree with that assessment.
The last Labour leader was ridiculed ,and left the party further away from power, with a slightly left agenda.
There was no shame in those days attacking for looking funny, been a back stabber etc All underhand Jewish tropes.
I used to post under the name HHemmelig until I was banned a few months ago.
Then someone activated this account, which is only one letter different, and have made some offensive posts on here with the obvious intention of making it seem like I made them.
For reasons unknown they used my email address so bizarrely I was able to seize control of the account.
Please disregard the 12 or so trolling posts which have been made by this account over the past few weeks.
Thanks

Blair might have hopeless political judgement these days, but IMO people would be well-advised to take his advice on how to criticise opponents:
"I never made my line of attack overly harsh. I always tried to make it telling. The aim was to get the non-politician nodding. I would wonder not what appealed to a Labour Party Conference in full throttle, but what would appeal to my old mates at the Bar, who wanted a reasonable case to be made .... Expressed like that, these attacks seem flat, rather mundane almost, and not exactly inspiring - but that's their appeal. Any one of these charges, if it comes to believed, is actually fatal. Yes, it's not like calling your opponent a liar, or a fraud, or a villain or a hypocrite, but the middle-ground floating voter kind of shrugs their shoulders at these claims. They don't chime. They're too over the top, too heavy, and they represent an insult, not an argument. Whereas the lesser charge, because it's more accurate and precisely because it's more low-key, can stick."
