    Tell that to Mr. Newt.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    With the identity politics of today it seems only a Jew can get away with criticsm of Israel and not being branded a jew hater/antisemitic for instance Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein.

    The anti-semitic accusation is just like politcal correctness it's used to stifle real criticsm of Israel. But what these labour members naz shah and dianne abbott said is bordering on racism and Red Ken is hilarious he keepa digging. the left in their blind support for palestine have turned to hatred of Israel not critiscm. Love it when the left eats itself up!

    All this media fanfare for what a Blairite campaign to kick Corbyn out of Labour?

    I'm sorry but Blair's Labour is gone the shift even further towards a communist party has happened silly new membership rules the influx of the young generation who overwhemingly believe Socialism is better than Capitalism and the reshuffling of MP's who align to Corbyn.

    Brenus you refuse to see facts that go against your preconcieved notion of the right spectrum of politics.
    University education goes a miss on you.
    "the righties being anti-Semitic from birth" <-- please tell me your being sarcastic
    If you think like this no doubt you hold sterotypical views aswell. The irony is lost on you,
    TYPICAL LEFTIES lol, and their identity politics

    The "right" are some of the biggest proponents of Israel!

    I think the left to right political spectrum is an awful way of articulating general political stances.

    This article would tell you a thing or two about the left http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/04/t...-to-do-racism/

    Finkelstein is certainly not free from antisemitism accusations, at the very least he is accused of being a self-hating Jew. As I remember he was even denied entry into Israel, which has got to be the first time a Jewish person was denied entry. Chomsky gets attacked with the label as well. I agree that the label is overused and real criticism is often stifled by it, but at the same time one must call it out when it actually happens. Its not easy to do as it can be disguised. But with the current state of overusing it, the term has been watered down and I am afraid it has lost its meaning.

    And what I think Brenus meant by the right being antisemitic is the far right, AKA neo-Nazis.
