Some comment on the above. Thatās bang to rights shit there. Obama expelled 35 diplomats on the basis of no evidence. Thatās fair conclusive evidence of a foreign power conspiring with UK residents to attempt to infiltrate political parties.
I can only see this getting more damning as the reports continue. Three more to come.
It certainly adds a great deal of credence to the view that the antisemitism āscandalā in the Labour Party was something of a witchhunt.
If thereās one thing we can learn from Jackie walker itās that for a football team to be successful over a long period of time, it needs a sustainable model of growth.
Couldnāt find the thread but very good news at last.
Israeli ambassador Mark Regev :-
The fashion is, if you are on the left today, you are probably very hostile to Israel, if not anti-Semitic
Iāve met leftists across the spectrum. Iām yet to meet anyone I would describe as anti-Semitic. Iām sure Iāve met people that Regev would describe as being anti-Semitic. My understanding of antisemitism is that this vile trait means āhating Jews for being Jewsā. Regev has a broader definition which includes ācriticism of the Israeli government of the political ideology of Zionismā.
This is 3 minutes 12 seconds in at the moment. I stopped to comment through pure astonishment.
Will comment more after Iāve seen it.

Yep. That made me quite angry. How did that thick cunt Joan Ryan get to be an MP?
This is my mate Del, the chap who was killed in Afghanistan three years ago. Quite a few of us went to school with him.
He makes a bit of a howler over Ms Bergerās position; she was LFI director, not LFPME.
Wouldnāt normally share Facebook messages, but this is a special case. I think that Del would appreciate having his views heard at this time. RIP, sir. One of a kind.
Iāve now watched episode three. First off, it should be considered a national disgrace that Al Jazeera, and not our keeper of record, the British Broadcasting Corporation, has broke this story. There was a time, early 90s mainly, when the BBC was bold on the topic. No longer.
Furthermore, I reckon Al Jazeera deserve considerable kudos for adopting the investigative journalism approach. I have complained about entrapment before. Thatās really not what is happening here. Itās a peek into a network of organisations that is only too willing to lay its cards on the table. It tells us some interesting things about the state of Israel, as it stands in relation to public sympathy.
The two state solution is bollocks, and everybody knows it is. The settlements are far too encroached in the West Bank, and those that inhabit probably have no compunction about living there and no intention of vacating so that a separate Palestinian territory could be established there. Itās not territory if you donāt have territorial integrity, if foreign troops are on your soil, and on the high ground (as many of these settlements are; they are both fortress and psychological tool). It will never work.
My favoured view is what was proposed, but ignored, by the Drake-King Commission in 1919, with a mandated modification. They polled those living in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire. Within the borders of what were then Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, 96% of those polled wanted a United Syria with US protecting the mandate in its fledgling years.
These days, youād want the US to be completely removed from the process. It has prolonged the present conflict with its nigh on unswerving support for Israel in its capacity as a Permanent Member of the United Nations Security Council. International law simply hasnāt been applied.
I still think the principal is sound, even, and perhaps especially with the remigration of Jewish peeps to the area. It just needs truth and reconciliation. We could have a unity democracy covering a wide area of the Middle East, a multifaith and stable bloc, and it really isnāt impossible. It was that way for centuries.For those that think present enmity cannot be overcome, Iāll tell you a story I heard from my Northern Irish landlady. I arrived 9 years after the GFA was finalised, and her observation on the easing tensions was that people were happy to be prosperous again. I suspect that might have been a euphemism, masking the fact that there was a whole load of other shit that they no longer had to worry about.
I reckon that might be more possible in the Middle East than we realise. Would be a lot easier to realise without a great deal of our involvement and the sort of twattery Joan Ryan and team were engaged in here.
Jew Hater!!!
Pap Youāre such a great guy, and I agree with you on most issues. I guess iām a realist.
Corbyn is 15 points behind the Tories today, he has no support within his own party. Thatās all iām saying mate. Iām not a troll or a Blairite. Labour will lose Stoke to Ukip.
Though you may be surprised to hear I agree with you regarding Tristram Hunt, the blokeās a narcissist and his resignation was designed for impact.
Bristol; I vote up a lot of your posts, but must pull you on this.
No offence, but Goatboyās tongue-in-cheek post tells us about the difficulty of posting on this subject. As one of the people that run the site, I have a special responsibility and believe that I have to weigh my words carefully.
On this instance, itās really not required, but Iād like to ask just how you decided with that post to my one.
Except for this bollocks. What do have against the BBC? Jeez mate, I know I used to work there so iāll stick up for the integrity and colleagues I worked with and still are friends
Alright, SaintBristol, if the BBC are so spectacular, how comes they didnāt report this happening on their own doorstep?
The BBC has been defanged, over and over. I do not need to impugn you or your friends to make that point, and you know it.
āDrake-King Commission in 1919ā ⦠Thereās no such thing
Thereās a King-Crane Report in 1919, sorry mate.
And there is confirmation bias, selective reading of information that ignores anything that doesnāt fit with an agreed narrative.
Iām not being offensive

No. Youāre being defensive. Is it possible that you donāt know your company?
I havenāt worked at the BBC or 15 years
Great. What do you think about their coverage of Syria e.g.
