Former chief rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks joins the witch hunt

Corbyn's comments most offensive since Enoch Powell, says ex-chief rabbi.

Former chief rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks has called Jeremy Corbyn an anti semite. He states that the comments, made by Corbyn over 5 YEARS AGO (another resurrected smear) are the most offensive since Enoch Powell made the "rivers of blood" speech in 1968.
It is ironic that comments made by Corbyn in meetings and at rallies and other places only now, after many years, become "offensive" to some people. Hodge, Berger, Gapes and others wait many years to vent their indignation and venom. They clearly realised that there was no advantage in attacking a "back bench" MP since nobody really cared about the member for Islington North. However, now that the member has become the leader of the Labour party it serves their collective agenda to resurrect comments and actions some of which go back over 20 years and to spout criticisms which if they are relevant now, were relevant then. Outrageous hypocrisy and opportunism.
Sacks now joins in the attacks on Corbyn with a crass comparison which in itself, is inaccurate and grossly offensive.
As I have previously argued, the relentless assault of smear and personal insult will ultimately backfire as more and more people come to realise that this campaign has little to do with antisemitism and everything to do with removing the Labour party leadership.

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...
