Well, a bit of a stretch. Sure, the coup was wrong. But you might as well say the US only exists because of England and George III and the Revolution was a direct consequence of that……

5,000 officers. The other 50% are already earmarked for ignoring the crime hotspots. Baffling.

No. The tanker has been involved in straightforward sanction busting. Nothing about supporting USA and the square root of nothing to do with Israel. Every country should be doing this.

No, that makes sense. I think France is similar.

“Genuinely Welsh” areas that voted to leave included Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Carmarthenshire, Ynys Mon, Merthyr, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, RCT, Powys, Swansea, Torfaen and Wrecsam. So I am really sceptical of this survey……

I’m not sure Valiant was ever fully repaired - certainly the Trincomalee floating dock slowed things - would happily be corrected.

The UK and Welsh governments spend £20billion more in Wales each year than Wales raises in tax (go check the ONS data yourself) which would suggest quite the opposite…….

I mean, you have the river to the sea comment in your bio, so your anti Zionism is literal. That’s a call for the destruction of the Israeli state is it not?

That’s straight up “disloyalty” antisemitic shit, take your filthy prejudice and do one. You are part of the problem. Blocked.

Nope you are missing my point. I don’t dislike Corbyn. Far from it. He is doing a model MP’s job. My criticism is the knee jerk antisemitism in the comments made by his supporters, as they did when he led Labour. It always happens, always.

And, these comments never took long to surface in Corbyn’s time if leadership. I never felt Corbyn was deliberately antisemitic but many of his followers undoubtedly are and say as much.

It’s the comment that Israel has bought and paid for the UK government, which doesn’t distinguish between the Israeli administration and its citizens, and echoes some pretty nasty “Elders of Zion” vibes. And hasn’t anything to do with the specific point raised.

Not at all. She was arrested, I believe, for vandalising defence assets that have absolutely nothing to do with, and have never been used to support, Israel and it’s bestial war on Gaza. So no need for this bought and paid for by Israel stuff. She isn’t a political prisoner.
