I mean I could go and stand in court if it was an unfair dismissal case and ask questions about this particular situation and I'm thick as fuck.
You would think to get rid because of anti semetic stuff you would have to prove its anti semetic.
I mean, you would at least check if it was an anti semetic conspiracy theory before labelling it one wouldn't you? At least I can see where you get your love of labelling things conspiracy theory without checking.
If I said people in Jamaica smoke weed and my boss sacked me for racism. I'd be rubbing my hands together at the unfair dismissal claim coming my way.
Treading very carefully here..... there is a correlation between those that support Palestinian rights and those that are supposedly ‘vehement anti-semites’
Yeah and I'd get a nice payoff.Point is you wouldn’t be sacked for racism you’d be sacked for gross misconduct or bringing the company into disrepute or whatever. The Equality Act and hate speech laws set a certain bar but real life’s bar is far lower. And far harder to discern where the line is. It’s basically “are enough people offended?”
Yeah and I'd get a nice payoff.
Is it criticism if it's fact?
The world is gone.
And there’s a correlation between pro Israel and islamophobia. It’s a shitty battle all round and frankly if I were a U.K. politician I’d stay well out of it outside any official peace process.
Exactly, and in the eyes of the electorate, Corbyn failed just about every leadership test.
I was getting fed up with his dithering on Brexit, but it was disheartening when ‘we’ seemingly kept scoring own goals every other week.
I don’t really see how keeping RLB fits this well? Brexit was a pertinent issue, but the Red Wall is generally socially conservative too. In the minds of voters, RLB represents a continuation of Corbyn. The Red Wall very decisively rejected that offering.
There are a lot of factors contributing to Labour’s crushing defeat. Brexit was a big factor, obviously, Labour lost a lot of votes to ‘remain’ parties as well as ‘leave’ parties. But, the electorate generally didn’t believe the Labour manifesto was deliverable or credible, and by every metric, Corbyn was behind Cameron, May and Johnson. The anti-semitism scandal was hugely damaging to Labour and Corbyn.
That said, there were individual policies that were in the manifesto that were popular, but the policy programme as a whole was not received well.
Not too sure it's on the same scale as me saying people in Jamaica smoke weed, is it?How many people sacked because of media storms get a pay off? You reckon the White Lives Matter guy will?
Jewish lives matter.
Is that progressive or offensive?
World is getting more mad!
ShalomThe majority of Jewish groups in the uk would view this as another example of racism - it’s interesting the majority Jewish voice is less important than the majority black voice with certain labour supporters
Wasn't necessary to bring them into it at all i think is the point. Its irrelevant.Shalom
They would find a fact, racist? I mean it's not a conspiracy either as made out.

The Jewish community can’t even decide between them which voice ‘represents’ them. The BoD have claimed that position but it’s far from agreed.
She didn't, she retweeted an article saying the knee move and Israeli special forces. Which... It is.Wasn't necessary to bring them into it at all i think is the point. Its irrelevant.

The terms "Self hating Jew" and "Wrong kind of jew" get thrown around a lot
Which is AS in itself.Useful Jewish idiot is what Dan Hodges called Michael Rosen.
Oh dear a member of Corbyn’s team, anyone else shocked?
Maybe open your eyes and read what I put underneathRead what people have been saying you freak.
Dom is the kind of person who is part of the problem. Dom doesn't give a shit about AS and will omly care when he can use it politically.

Genuinely I think it's racist for non Jewish people decide what is "AS". It's also morally repugnant to try and waeponise AS. The people I know in the JLM don't see this as AS. As I said it gets dangerous when start to call an critique of the actions of the state of Israel AS. It's wrong and it damages the valid attempts to tackle AS.
It also seems the EHRC is a fundraiser for the tory party which she didn't declare.
She’s literally been told to step down by keir for retweeting something AS, are you really that stupid?I did and I find you to be a c**t as you don't even know what the story is.
RLB as not said anything that is AS. It's the retweeting of something critical of Israel w1hich made up about 10 words in an interview given by someone else.
When you actually care about bigotry to jewish people please come back.
She’s literally been told to step down by keir for retweeting something AS, are you really that stupid?
I agree much of the trouble with this is that Israel deciding what is anti-Semitic have basically said anything that criticises Israel or Netanyahu counts. Israel has itself weaponised AS by using it as a defence against their actions in the region. It becomes the boy that cried wolf and when genuine AS occurs they've lost sympathy and support.
With RLB it would seem convenient for Starmer to get rid of the remaining Corbyn faction and it may seem a bit harsh, but it shows a leader willing to take quick and decisive action esp on a subject which so many are willing to drag up against Labour. He had no choice but to do it really (although I've no doubt there will be some saying the sacking proves Labour has a massive AS problem) Compare and contrast to how the Tories acted with Cummings and are doing so with Jenryk.
Of course the big question is how Starmer responds should it be someone more closely aligned to him next time
She’s literally been told to step down by keir for retweeting something AS, are you really that stupid?
At least one place in the US (Durham, North Carolina) has gone down that route:If it's offensive to say that, maybe they should stop training police?
You might want to check who appointed her.Oh dear a member of Corbyn’s team, anyone else shocked?
Fair play to Keir for getting rid of her
Rebecca Long-Bailey has been appointed as the shadow education secretary following a Labour Party reshuffle by new leader Keir Starmer.
If RLB had actually been AS then yes but what she did was retweet a interview with one of the most famous actresses in the UK who happens to be her constituent. It cheapens the very real need to tackle AS wherever it maybe.
You might want to check who appointed her.
