I can take a hint . . .

"Immigration rules would allow Mr Singh's visa to be extended if he earned £120,000 a year,"

I couldn't disagree with most of the Helen Lewis, it was very witty too, but not with the advice to " concede everything to the Israel Firsters and move on" .
Labour’s endless internal rows leave it with little energy for real opposition

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... opposition
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most of them well to the Right of the party and hate him for that as well as their hyper-protectiveness towards the State of Israel ? So they are never going to declare peace, for both reasons, with the latter predominating .

So far as real domestic UK persecution of jews is concerned that is a matter for much better more targeted policing , together with exactly the same attention for the islamophobes.

IF Corbyn had directed his attention to the general public on that question, over the heads of the internecine squabblers and saboteurs in his party, he could have gained support and respect for his position on free speech rel the IHRA definition PLUS more emphasis on policing all the extremes ?

Unfortunately we have not heard any robust straight thinking and talking from him on the matter . And the apology we discussed on friday(?) does appear to be an unnecessary (to me, in this case) reneging on respectable enough former friends. ( Contrast that with friday's forthright quotes from Glenda Jackson !)

Has anyone read the TomWatson and the NickCohen ?

High tide, so those are delegated

"They may be a few",really "helpful" in Corbyn e-mail,here's some more ammunition.

Shall we say inconsistent with the following "anybody that denies .."A needless "balance",impression of begrudging acceptance to an independent eye IMHO.

That's how little Tory government cares for most UK citizens and their families

Equivocal unequivocalness.

Good-afternoon, everyone

Amazon under fire as it pays less in national insurance than a hospital



"Amazon’s UK operation pays less in employer national insurance (NI) contributions than Guy’s Hospital in London, according to its accounts published last week."

(Usual copy and paste article by request)

David Aaronovitch has resumed digging his hole, I see.

Wail after Maxine Peake and" taking taxpayers money" for NHS related voiceover.

Or how a default of "hard done to/it is unfair "doesn't actually work when you are leader,in personal and group think collective terms.

Waiting time targets and patient outcomes in emergency departments

"When we compare the different magnitude of effects on mortality, waits and admission probabilities across these groups we find that larger mortality effects are associated with larger reductions in waiting times, but not with increased admissions. While these effects are not causal, the evidence strongly suggests that reduced waiting times, rather than increased treatment, are associated with reduction in mortality."

Very good, stick it to them !

Have we had this (from yesterday)?



https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/aug/05/sajid-javid-accused-of-buying-silence-of-windrush-citizens

YES , but better twice than never !

Is the vid from JCorbyn out there yet ?

I do hope it doesn't hurt my feelings

I saw the tweets (yesterday?) where someone had worked out who this was...

England’s most senior GP quits over anonymous online posts

Oops.

Great stuff! ""@nckhnsn
Surely they want us to reclaim our sovereignty from the unelected bureaucrats of the WTO?

So people, who among you has watched the Corbyn vid ???

Goodnight, everyone
love,
cJA

Not you, then NN !

WATCH: Jeremy Corbyn says he is 'sorry for the hurt caused' by anti-Semitism in Labour

https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/po ... s-he-sorry

No opinions ?

Well he apologised for Antisemitism, not anti-Semitism. So that should be worth some brownie points, but I'm not holding my breath ...
edit: I'm sure I read something criticising Labour for spelling it anti-Semitism, but probably getting confused.

Nick Cohen, back on form
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... prejudices
"How Britain’s far left ‘sympathises’ with the worst of our prejudices"


It's hard (well, for me, at least) to follow the point of the article, but I think it's criticising momentum's guidelines for trying to converse with voters whose stated views are racist. Is Cohen serious?

Just how embarrassing can our government get (part the nth)

According to the telegraph, our latest tilt at the rest of the EU is to argue that they are legally bound to make a deal with us, and will be breaking their own laws if they refuse to compromise, because Article 8 of the Lisbon Treat says



We are a nation of pub lawyers, confident that a policeman can only arrest you if he's wearing his helmet and that, of course, dogs can't look up.

They also fail to notice that Article 8 continues...

(my emphasis).

Oy, Barnier, you have to give us our deal we want because we asked for it first, and also when we signed that withdrawal agreement thing we had our fingers crossed.
