What I like about Jeremy Corbyn and Seumas Milne is that they have put the era of spin behind them https://t.co/HYXhePQqp6

Is it perhaps time for one of those transcript tragicomic plays for North London, based on the various unedited Corbyn and MaoDonnell histories?
We can have Roy McClusterf*ck in the Gods with the puppet controller crossed-sticks, and Jennie Formby playing a melancholy, self-satirical, ukelele.
Can we insert a Springtime for Hitler take-off, based on the PSC?

1. When Corbyn first became a candidate for leader, quite a few raised concerns for precisely the reasons which have become evident in recent days - and were roundly poo-poohed. We were told not to be silly and that Corbyn could not be blamed for whom he happened to be standing next to. Well, as we’ve seen (and as some of us said at the time) he did not “happen” to stand by these people. He chose to do so.
2. The risks for Labour now are two-fold:-
- that more is uncovered which relates to Corbyn directly: what he may have said or done in the past.
- that there is some violence or atrocity and that there are not many degrees of separation between the perpetrators and the Labour leadership. I fervently hope this does not happen.
It is sad, very sad, that Labour should have come to this.
What is also very worrying that some should be sanguine at the prospect of Holocaust deniers being given a free pass. Quite apart from questions of moral decency, these are people who deny facts - provable facts - and to have such people anywhere near public policy is very worrying.

I was told by a reliable source the reason for Corbyn closing his facebook account is that he is a member of a vile group that spews the most disgusting views.

Well as reported by the FT a few days ago, the whole ground upon which the Cambridge Analytica have been accused of doing wrong might not even be true i.e them using "stolen data" or illegally acquired data....it seems that the app the academic deployed had updated T&C shortly after release in which users agree that the owner of the app was free to sell the data collected.Floater said:

Awesome Observer ‘correction’ buried on page whatever, basically saying that their front page splash on Vote Leave and Cambridge Analytica last week was a load of...
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/31/for-the-record-observer-corrections
“In two news articles last week (“Revealed: the ties that bound Canadian data firm to Leave campaign in referendum” and “Brexit insider claims Vote Leave team ‘may have broken law’”), we are happy to clarify that we did not intend to suggest that AggregateIQ is a direct part and/or the Canadian branch of Cambridge Analytica, or that it has been involved in the exploitation of Facebook data, or otherwise been involved in any of the alleged wrongdoing made against Cambridge Analytica. Further, we did not intend to suggest that AIQ secretly and unethically co-ordinated with Cambridge Analytica on the EU referendum. We are happy to make clear that AggregateIQ is and has always been 100% Canadian owned and operated.”
And, as Dominic Cummings pointed out last week in his blog, the Guardian Facebook App (yes, there’s a Guardian Facebook App) has a long list of Ts and Cs saying that the Guardian will harvest and sell your data and all your friends’ data. The Guardian also host digital marketing courses where they train businesses on the best way to target social media advertising!

Tiangong is skirting the upper atmosphere and losing altitude at an increasing rate. It has only two or three more circuits to go. It looks as if it will fall in the south Pacific or south Atlantic but it might just fall on the southern end of South America. It's just about to go over India.

I had a chat with them and offered to either give them my details so we could sort it out later or write a check there and then and they refused to take anything.
I also had a house in France later and the average French person was fine and as said very polite.

Sir Lynton Crosby convinced Dave to move Gove from Education in 2014 because teachers really disliked him and blamed him for the cuts.
Parents really trust teachers, so they accepted their word.
So Hinds is picking up blame for long term issues at Education.0 -

Well, as we’ve seen (and as some of us said at the time) he did not “happen” to stand by these people. He chose to do so.
2. The risks for Labour now are two-fold:-
- that more is uncovered which relates to Corbyn directly: what he may have said or done in the past.
- that there is some violence or atrocity and that there are not many degrees of separation between the perpetrators and the Labour leadership. I fervently hope this does not happen.
It is sad, very sad, that Labour should have come to this.
What is also very worrying that some should be sanguine at the prospect of Holocaust deniers being given a free pass. Quite apart from questions of moral decency, these are people who deny facts - provable facts - and to have such people anywhere near public policy is very worrying.

The West is self harming.
You can see it. Parts of London I have always regarded as benign if poor now feel properly sketchy - like bad hoods in NYC in the 1980s. Something has gone badly wrong.
Immigration is one huge factor. Take Somalians in Camden as one particular example (which I know well from my ex - a Camden policewoman). They are bewildered by western values, family structures fall apart on impact with western life, a lot come from civil war zones ANYWAY and have a tolerance if not desire for violence. A recipe for disaster: my ex said she spent half her time trying to deal with feral Somali boys with knives, drugs and very bad attitudes to women.
What the fuck are they doing here? Do we need Somalians? They were never even in the commonwealth?
Thanks to Freedom of Movement, a lot of Somalis came from hostile Holland, heading over to the UK and London, which they found more "accommodating of Islam".

We imported them from the 1960s on. First and second generation black kids are the main perps and victims of these crimes. It's tragic for them, but it is also tragic for the country as a whole. Britain was once renowned for its peaceability, and unusual orderliness.Elliot said:

Well done everyone. London is now more dangerous than New York. We are ruled by a special class of inept c*nts.
What a mess. What a fucking disaster multiculti has proved. Just awful.
And where we have led other countries are following. Sweden, Germany, Holland, France.
The West is self harming.
You can see it. Parts of London I have always regarded as benign if poor now feel properly sketchy - like bad hoods in NYC in the 1980s. Something has gone badly wrong.
Immigration is one huge factor. Take Somalians in Camden as one particular example (which I know well from my ex - a Camden policewoman). They are bewildered by western values, family structures fall apart on impact with western life, a lot come from civil war zones ANYWAY and have a tolerance if not desire for violence. A recipe for disaster: my ex said she spent half her time trying to deal with feral Somali boys with knives, drugs and very bad attitudes to women.
What the fuck are they doing here? Do we need Somalians? They were never even in the commonwealth?
Thanks to Freedom of Movement, a lot of Somalis came from hostile Holland, heading over to the UK and London, which they found more "accommodating of Islam".

@SeanT
The establishment must take some of the blame.
In Bradford we have two local pubs that get attacked every bonfire week by a very large Asian mob,what do the police do -Nothing .
The police excuse is it may cause a full blown riot so it sounds like a couple cracked heads won't matter.
This will lead to disorder in the future ,a future where whiteflight is happening.0 -
Still, immigrants, on the whole, are a lot less likely to commit crime than white British people. My parents are Iranian immigrants and British Iranians barely commit any crime at all. I suspect that is because we are mainly highly educated people from urban backgrounds.SeanT said:
As I say, many came from Holland and elsewhere in the EU, under Free Movement, and there was nowt we could doElliot said:

(Though I must admit I was surprised that there are about 100k Somalis in the UK - more than Indian Muslims apparently.)

From Guido's expose:
' “We used the data that 3.2 million people consented to give away after signing up for the Guardian app,” Kale explains, “and we targeted our propaganda to the three key Remain indicators: people who liked Bob Geldof, soy milk and the CBI on Facebook”. '
