Let's Get Political!

The far right do like a woman-beater as their leaders don't they?

It's easy to miss the domestic violence in the exhaustive conviction list of the convicted drug dealer football hooligan mortgage fraudster wife beater Yaxley-Lennon (ta Tommy Robinson), and now convicted racist criminal Paul Golding, current leader of Britain First, is recorded fessing up to beating up his ex and one-time co-leader:

It's almost like they've got something wrong with them isn't it?

Don't forget the prevalence of paedophiles in their ranks as well.....

TBF, I don't think she's got any criminal convictions has she? She's "just" an unrepentant Trotskyite who's never backtracked on her support for the IRA bombing of Warrington who's now the Brexit Party MEP for the North West, including Warrington. Precisely the kind of "commie" you'd have thought the Brexiteers would hate, but it seems these days they use the term "commie" to refer to liberals, and welcome unreformed actual communists with open arms. It's all a bit confusing

And on the same theme of the far right crossover with the far left, what a shameful day for the Labour Party

if Labour can get all the party anti-Semites to declare their vote for the Brexit party ( ) then Labour HQ would rid themselves of them within 24 hours.

I was actually thinking about her interesting thoughts on child pornography?

I think commie is more generally spared for anyone who gives a shit about their fellow man really?

But Shami said it was all ok before Corbyn nominated her for the House of Lords.

They had a funny old day yesterday, what with this and also expelling Campbell for saying (after the event) that he voted Lib Dem, yet Hoey who was actively canvassing for Newkip seems to still be in the fold?

If they expel everyone who expressed support for an opposing party....

Sorry yes, forgot she was a friend to paedos as well as the IRA. Just the kind of person Brexit Party supporters would want to represent them, clearly.

Devil's Advocate... isn't that the organisation that conflates antisemitism with critiscism of Isreali foreign policy?

Personally, I believe in human rights as an absolute value to always be maintained....regardless.

To my ears, "so called human rights" is a vile expression.

However, Shami is a shameless careerist who has leveraged human rights to benefit her shabby career.  Precisely the kind of extreme and biased advocate that encourages that vile "so-called" expression.

The complainant may be, but the Equality and Human Rights Commission which has taken on the complaint and decided it merits investigation doesn't. Labour has a problem with anti-Semitism among some members; they may well be a small unrepresentative minority, just as Islamophobes are in the Tory Party. But Labour's ongoing failure to deal with the issue at all, never mind decisively has laid it wide open. There is a case to answer. If they'd shown they treated anti-Semitism as seriously as voting Lib Dem, there wouldn't be a problem.
