My problem with Cornyn is he is obviously an intelligent man. He must surely understand that you can leave no room for any doubt on this issue. Now the British press are only too eager to paint him as antisemitic and he could've put all this business to bed months ago. Allowing this evil to fester in people's minds is a very dangerous thing to do. I sympathise with your relatives and totally understand their fears.JennyB wrote: ↑17 Sep 2018, 12:16pmIt's a very tough situation as I, and I imagine a majority of the UK Jewish community, would be behind him 100% if not for this.

I want to sincerely believe him to be genuine and caring however letting things fester through the media for so many months now is extremely unhealthy.
..and JB you are involved in this as it's what defines you. You should like all those other 85% be heard and taken notice of.

I don’t know enough to have an opinion but Corbyn certainly divides the opinions of those that know and care, from saviour of the world to yuppie fake?

That was beautiful all around, especially the casual Nazi Germany reference.

Re: Hey limeys
While I fully admit that I don't follow British politics closely, May isn't one of those savant chess player politicians. She's basically an accidental PM, having the luck of Cameron fucking up the referendum and then barely holding on in a snap election. If she does win this vote, the ugliest and crudest of secret deals is in the works.Silent Majority wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 8:25amAn irrational part of me feels like somehow she might yet pull this off.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 7:51amAre you intoxicated yet on the pure democracy being excreted?

Re: Hey limeys
I'd love to see it in the gauchest, most obvious way possible. Like all the late switches sporting new gold watches and driving off in identical Ferraris after the vote. Just to confirm their contempt for any principle beside Randian self-interest.Silent Majority wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 10:36amHer team is not above petty bribery.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 8:56amWhile I fully admit that I don't follow British politics closely, May isn't one of those savant chess player politicians.
