DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Polis involved...https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46070229 Not surprised. There is one assumption that may be wrong - that all of those threats came from Labour Party members - I wouldn't be too sure about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Margaret Hodge is despearate for Corbyn not to become MP. A Labour MP who would far rather have a Tory in no 10. Hopefully this is her last term in Parliament, though if she’s not selected I’m convinced she will stand in order to split the Labour vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully voters in London are too smart for that. The tweet about "get a kicking" is dumb but it's entirely in keeping with the metaphors used by MPs and the media. There are also some accounts posting anti Semitic which are definitely sock puppets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not usually favouring conspiracy angles, but the Israelis have a serious and proven rep for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) It will be interesting to see how the police prioritise these spurious anti-semitic claims. Will they have available manpower? Will they treat them with more or less seriousness than burglaries, for instance?

D Angelo Barksdale Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I wonder how many will be genuinely anti semitic posts by labour members as opposed to 'u r a horrible zionist' or obvious fake accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRob72 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 No time for Corbyn, but the journalists who doorstep him every morning as soon as he leaves the house, (repeating the same anti-semitic accusations), are just c*nts. Give the guy some respectful privacy at his home ffs!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legal and institutional blocks on supporting Palestinian rights in France and the USA should make us more determined to continue to support them in the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/foreign-office-funds-2m-infowars-13707574 The Sunday Mail have reported on a Fife based UK government disinformation unit based in Fife which has been smearing Labour as well as constantly pushing anti Russia propaganda. Quote The “think tank” is supposed to counter Russian online propaganda by forming “clusters” of friendly journalists and “key influencers” throughout Europe who use social media to hit back against disinformation.

Frank Quitely Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/foreign-office-funds-2m-infowars-13707574 The Sunday Mail have reported on a Fife based UK government disinformation unit based in Fife which has been smearing Labour as well as constantly pushing anti Russia propaganda. The “think tank” is supposed to counter Russian online propaganda by forming “clusters” of friendly journalists and “key influencers” throughout Europe who use social media to hit back against disinformation. Carole Cadawalldr appears to be linked to this and has had a bit of a twitter meltdown.Well, let's be honest, is anyone really surprised at this ? The only card the British Establishment has left is the patriot/military one and it will be deployed at every opportunity.All is not lost however; a work colleague of mine recently left to join Raytheon in Fife. I went out of my way to ask how he could square his conscience - answer there came none, but no matter, his facial expression told me everything I needed to know.We need to actively call out everyone who conspires to place coin above conscience, and yes, I have a career record of four redundancies so I consider myself to inhabit the real world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/16/why-are-labour-party-leaders-so-quiet-on-europe---maybe-it-is-the-lure-of-disaster Nick Cohen is continuing his journalistic dirty protest. He now seems to be focusing on McDonnell, Milne and Murray because people actual like Corbyn. This week's meltdown involves the usual Stalinst-Islamist alliance claim and comparing Corbyn's position on Brexit to Lenin's on WW1. But he completely misrepresents Lenin's defeatist stance and outright lies that Lenin was in favour of WW1. The Observer is an absolute shambles. It just seems to make up stories it hopes will come true and is run by people who were irrelevant a decade ago never mind now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Also it turns out that all the journalists who had never heard of Integrity Initiative last week were actually speakers at an II event a few months ago. James Ball "wasn't paying attention to who was running the event" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
