Unite boss accuses Jewish leaders of 'truculent hostility'

Len McCluskey could well be right, but the fact is that no matter how far the Labour party leans over backwards to appease these individuals and groups, they will always come back for more concessions and more domination.Their intention is and has always been the removal of Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour leadership of which they disapprove.The evidence for this view is compelling with a daily smear offensive in the media led by the Mail, Express and Telegraph and Sky and BBC News from our televisions.
At last the Labour party has made a complaint to the press regulator, naming the Daily Mail, Sun, Times, Telegraph, Express and Metro. The time is long overdue when the lies and distortions of the media should be challenged, but at least this is a start. Personally, I would have abandoned "appeasement" long ago when this smear campaign started after Corbyn first appeared on the leadership election ballot paper and has only grown more hysterical and bellicose since.
The latest contributions from Margaret Hodge and Chuka Umunna, evidence how some individuals will never be satisfied and how they will distort and fabricate in support of their particular viewpoint.

The Labour response to the Margaret Hodge comment that Corbyn is on the "wrong side of of the line between being pro-Palestinian and anti semitic" and "the cult of Corbynism" had allowed this to happen, following on from her outburst calling Corbyn " A f******" racist and anti semite", has be answered with, "Dame Margaret's comments were extreme and disconnected from reality". A very mild response considering her crass and vitriolic attacks over recent weeks.
As for Chuka Harrison Umunna saying that the Labour party is institutionally racist and that Labour MPs are being "pushed to breaking point" by the party's battle with anti-Semitism is, as McCluskey suggests, being used as a tool to advance the possibility of a breakaway party of the usual suspects and heir few supporters, led of course by Umunna himself, (provided that he can overcome his fear of the media putting him in the spotlight). The "policy" of appeasement to these groups and people has failed. It is now time for the party to meet this head on to prevent them from taking Labour back to the days of "Top down" leadership and a numbers of members.

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...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

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 ...
