It seems we also have some anti semites.

[naomi24]

As per the title of the thread that could be a good idea.   

[andy-hughes]

You think so?

How many prospective candidates,  if asked, "Are you anti-Semitic?", are going to answer in the affirmative?

[youngmafbog]

//

do you believe all party candidates who are Muslims should be asked if they are anti-Semitic?

Should all Jewish potential candidates be asked if they hate Muslims?//

Yes to both.  And other questions such as do you belong to a terro organisation, been arrested etc.

// if asked, "Are you anti-Semitic?", are going to answer in the affirmative?//

Well the US visa asked if you were a terrorist! No they probably wouldnt if they got that far but simply with the question there it will make some people think.

untitled: "means nothing naomi. he's just a councillor, could well have expelled him just to look tough and contrast with labour." - Iv'e heard it all now! So the tories have gone out looking for a bloke to boot out just so they can show they are more decisive that Labour? right oh!

[fender62]

looks like labour need the purge the party and labour councils also of anti semitism, you cannot say anything about islam even a perception of it, an opinion..if your an mp or councillor, not just for fear of being ejected, but being murdered, teachers included, now why is this, one sided viciousness, and allowed to fester, walking on egg shells..

But he's a squeakie clean tory?????

[piggynose]

Op/ ttt said' in the interests of balance' 

Anti semitic+ Anti muslim!

Surely thats a balance?

Or am I missing something?🤔

"So the tories have gone out looking for a bloke to boot out just so they can show they are more decisive that Labour? right oh"

that is how politicians think toratoratora... we have no idea what this person said or if it was anti semitic... like i say use that word for all kinds of things. many people who do nothing more than criticise israel are called anti semites.

Untitled: Damn you found us out, I was at the meeting, "Right we are going to have a raffle and the winner has to pretend to be an anti semtite so we can swiftly boot you out to show how decisive we are. Oh BTW, wait to it blows over and there's a K in it for you!" - Righ oh!

Untitled, you're trying hard but google his name and 'Salisbury Journal'.  I can't post a link.

[naomi24]

Strange how people always on the left of these discussions are now actively defending a Conservative.  Quite amusing to watch really.  😀

this must be the one you mean naomi:

to tell you the truth i cannot understand anything at all in his whatsapp messages they are incoherent... maybe there is antisemitism there but i cannot make head nor tail of it

the facebook post endorses a two state solution though he spells it "estate"... which is not antisemitic

"Strange how people always on the left of these discussions are now actively defending a Conservative"

it's called having principals... you don't seem to have a very good understanding of what it means to defend someone which may explain some of your other posts

[Untitled]

having now read the messages i lean more toward the theory that the party said "errr... antisemitism" to get rid of someone mad

[naomi24]

Your principles change to suit, untitled.  You forget what you post.

[Untitled]

i think you're projecting somewhat naomi

[naomi24]

I think you've been stymied.

god I have searched high and low today for  a thread where Hymie and Gullz havent been zapped

Labout flyer :  Vote Genocide, Vote Labour

and we shall see tonight. Any tips anyone? The Beeb says that exit polls are accurate having been brought up to think ( me that is) that political polls are notoriously  inaccurate.

For one Thatcher 'surprise' the Beeb bleated: we conclude the poll sample, er lied to us
