You won't be laughing when the lefties on here get back from today's riots and demand ( and demand they will ) why I'm not tending Elite's onions.

Jonathan Pie - WOKE Utopia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5TVLEaqqdI

Perhaps it takes a left-leaning satirical comedian like Jonathan Pie to make the point.

I took the time to read Maxine Peake's article in the Independent. She did indeed make one ridiculous statement referring to American police and Israeli secret service training, which people may or may not interpret as anti-semitic. Peake has since said it was not intended as such. Either way, the main thrust of the article and the majority of Peake's comments were just a bog-standard anti-Tory, anti-capitalist Corbynista rant.

There's no doubt in my mind that when Rebecca Long-Bailey retweeted the article, with a brief accompanying comment describing Maxine Peake as an "absolute diamond", she was referring to the predominant anti-Tory sentiment of the article rather than endorsing one particular paragraph within it.

I thought it was spurious in the extreme for Keir Starmer to use that re-tweet as grounds to sack her, but as Jonathan Pie says, Long-Bailey's cause for complaint is undermined because this is precisely the sort of 'woke' environment she has sought to create, where people can be hung out to dry for even the slightest suggestion of a view that some might interpret as offensive. The oozlum bird really has disappeared up its own posterior.

The Tories preferred nickname for Rebecca Long Bailey was 'Wrong Daily'. Maybe they had a point.
Ed Miliband on Marr this morning explained that the attributing of all the world's ills to Jews is what has made them outcasts throughout history and this is what must stop. There was no proof that Israeli special forces had an input into US policing but plenty of anti-semitic people who were prepared to believe it.
Another important point is that before he sacked her, Starmer gave her the opportunity to apologise. She wouldn't.

I've always been me, never been anyone else. I've been a member since 2003 but stopped following Notts in about 2010 after moving abroad. Came back to the UK at the start of last year and started going to Notts again. When I tried to sign up for an account here it told me I already had this one so started using it again.

What would it matter who I was anyway, does the value of my words change depending on who I am?

Yes. PSAW is a Cambridge supporting far right plonker who thinks anything on the left side is a Communist plot.

About that 'equipment' you offered. What's the going rate? And throw in a few wet wipes for Swale's keyboard.

Gotta be the first time you've never come back with something for your favorite sailor.

Spoke too soon. Not the greatest comeback
