Or you could say which part(s) of my post you take issue with.

Didn't Ugly Patel  say just last week the UK terrorist threat had been downgraded from severe to substantial?

I mean this terror threat level does remind me of the red alert in Red Dwarf

Given that the entire "Hollywood is run by the Jews" thing is an extension of the "Jews control the media" trope, then the answer is, obviously, yes.
I literally cannot possibly think of any situation in which any sensible person would bring up "well those Jews sure do dominate the US movie industry!" unless they were about to go down a road littered with other anti-Semitic tropes.

Kingsley Amis was an admitted ‘mild’ anti-Semite and his son, Martin, asked him what it was like being anti-Semitic. He said that when he watched a TV programme he’d wait for the credits and when he saw a name like Bernstein he’d think to himself “there’s one!”.

Despite his stature, he's got no idea on how to deal with a smart female.

It says much about him and his philosophy.

I was quite impressed with the guy from Plaid.  I'd never heard of the Tory before and before long it became clear why.

Also, Sturgeon smacking down the big bully from the Brexit Party was absolutely glorious!

People have died and been injured in that incident and you want to make political points about it whilst it was still happening?
This is a disgraceful post.

Of course political parties will try to make capital from it - it's what the main parties always do after an incident like this.

Sad but true.

Jewish people are very talented people. 

You only have to look at how many Nobel winners there have been that are Jewish. 

I would think a high percentage compared to other Religions.

Shame it's not Farage but I think he's scared of her.

Not having the detail of the matter, I wouldn't know. Jean Charles de Menezes doesn't know either.

Your worse than the knife wielding terrorist you utter c**t.

I think this gammon is rather seething hot. Time to remove it from the oven that is the politics forum.

Are the The Rangers fans antisemitic when they claim Big Jock (Schtein) Knew? _{^{(depending how they pronounce it)}}

Asking for Mossad.

Maybe I've got one thing in common with him then.

I can think of certain Jewish Labour MPs who are more faithful to another country than the people they are supposed to represent.

 

Who, and why do you think that?

Accusations that Jews are more loyal to Israel than the country in which they live is literally an example in the definition of anti-semitism, so you need to be able to back that up.

"Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations."

Don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but the PA have a list of expected declaration times.

 

Declaration Times

 

Rutherglen and Hamilton West is expected to be the first Scottish seat to declare.  Obviously it will be exciting to see who wins this as it is a super marginal seat.  But it will also be interesting to see how the Tory vote does here.  They have no chance of winning the seat, but they increased their vote by 12% between 2015 and 2017.  This increase in fortunes was reflected across Scotland.  So if the Tories maintain their share of the vote here, this could indicate that they will keep the majority of their seats in Scotland. 

 

A reduction in share of the vote however, could mean they are on course to get wiped out up here.  Here's hoping!

Always find it strange how people who love Britain so much find it so difficult to use the English language.

Here's a thing, are all the Friends Of Israel jewish?  Just a thought.

Have to wonder if some on the left started banging on about various forms of identity politics so much and developed an unhealthy obsession with Israel because they despaired of ever convincing the proles that the City of London and monarchy have a malign influence on British society that calls for radical changes to be made a lot closer to home:
