@hughster

You're wasting far too much of my time - we will never agree, I won't privilege one form of racism over another. I'm tired of the double think where people like you defend or tacitly support the indefensible and then try to take some kind of moral high ground. I have better things to do than pander to your privileged world view.

There's no grounds to discuss or argue - you're taking isolated statements context free and then doing the high blood pressure dance.

Not joining in.

@hughster

Could you define shooting children and flattening their homes with bombs for me?

That's what he was talking about.

What's the rest of the context, did someone say Jewish Community in the context of, say, the people who will not condemn this and stick their fingers in their ears? As in they had already divided them up? Was he replying to such a view?

Like the JC claims to speak for all Jews and absolutely does not?

This is the problem - there's no context.

@hughster

Am I?

Noticed you didn't distance yourself from the current wave of violence and racism coming from the Israeli government so obvs quite comfy with it. Perhaps some thought required?

You have not "shown" me Maginn is AS, you've *asserted* that he is.

I could assert that you are a teapot.

Doesn't mean you are one, does it?

I mean, how do you respond to the Forde report hierarchy of racism? Deny it probably.

@hughster Plus at least 4 of those 50 points are addressed by Maginn's videos. Which you won't watch or engage with, I assume.

@hughster Are you telling me that you believe a life long peace campaigner would endorse such crap?

But yanno - are you defending the horror that's happening in Israel right now? The beatings at the mosque, shooting kids in the head (again) etc. etc. etc.?

Had a couple of approaches from people asking "Should I bother to learn programming?" My best guess is that reports of the impending death of software development as a profession are greatly exaggerated. Just steer clear of the folks giving out the the Kool-Aid. As always.

@hughster

I can't see the point in continuing

People saying things you don't agree with doesn't make them anti semitic. It kind of proves their point, tbh.

You have to prove your position and repeating the words of bad actors doesn't prove anything.

@DavidLammy @UKLabour Wow. Highest tax burden in decades and Labour will freeze council tax. Fucking hopeless.

@hughster very little - but also how relevant is the truth or otherwise in the face of the Tory lie machine? They would have made toe fungus into a diplomatic incident. Why are you getting worked up about this?

@hughster

Compared with Johnson and Johnson's cronies the man is a saint. For example Johnson is a nasty racist and anti semite and the tory party is dodgy as hell in general.

Which party was attacked and had things made up about it?

Which party now has a hierarchy of racism and has done nothing about it?

@AgainstLies

I thought he was far too nice to people he should have attacked mercilessly.

Never been that fond of Labour tbh, but I thought maybe things might get better, in my heart I knew it was going to go the way it did. I am sad I wasn't disappointed.

Watching the Al Jazeera documentaries was unsurprising - I remember the 80s.

I did knock on doors in the election because I am a socialist. Now we don't have that option.

The lesser of 2 evils is still evil.

Or they could try taxing the rich.
Just an idea.
Labour again attacking the poor, rather than those with money who don't pay their fair share.

Right - just rewired my guitar with Fishman P90s, that have a complicated wiring loom.

Worried I may have not been thinking carefully enough and the wires will all cross and look a mess.

As long as it works ...

Starmer already has form for organising and accelerating crackdowns and harsh sentences for people caught up in outbreaks of protest (protests caused by the lethal actions of the police). And has signalled his antipathy towards Climate protest. This is not a "human rights lawyer"
