Dossier of complaints sent by the Jewish Labour Movement to the EHRC (BBC News).


Edited to add -

But they are also giving a lot of coverage to Sayeeda Warsi, and Islamaphobia in the Conservative Party.

@HindleA

I hope you're aware that I've fulfilled my civic duty on the PTO front. Please take note.

After the event,nice try on the historical revisionism front but there's this 'er thing called "edited' five minutes after the page turned.

If you are going to do grammar pedantry, make sure you are on solid ground yourselves first - otherwise you look not just smug but a smug prat.

(thinking of nobody in particular from this morning, no sirree)

One of the anomalies of the English language is that two things can both be simultaneously "correct" for no apparent reason! Which can be very frustrating if you want to use the "right" one. Dispatch/despatch for instance. Both are correct spellings for the same meaning - so which do I use? Decisions, decisions....

( "Is/are" for a collective noun, I believe you were referring to, this morning? You can use either, but pedants will insist you have a good reason for treating a collective noun as a plural. I think Corbyn could well be meaning every single member of a generation are paying the price, in which case he's correct, but I can't say for certain )

I have a similar problem with "Tory" and "arsehole""

Thought you meant Richard of that ilk for a moment.

Come the revolution each day will be named after a Leeds United Player of the 1968-9 Division I League Champion season.

Until then it will be Gray Day every day.

Must confess that I didn't see your "PTO after the next one" post, either!

UK property values
The party deciding everyone has a safe, securely tenured and affordable place to live is going to have trouble getting returned to government even if there's a coherent plan ensuring compensation for those using buy-to-let property as their pension.

Good-evening, everyone

[citizenJA]

I'll read the rest of the thread now

[citizenJA]

I'll vote for the party making sure everyone in UK has a decent, securely tenured and affordable place to live
I think a lot of people would do the same
I think some people are afraid of the consequences and implications of that policy, real or imagined

[citizenJA]

I'm completely bewildered by the over-the-top, negative news I've read recently about the Labour party

[citizenJA]

Labour’s balance of terror has shifted. Now Corbynites have cause to be fearful
Andrew Rawnsley

Unbelievably bad commentary from Rawnsley, in my opinion
an example of why I've backed away from the news for awhile

Yes - I read the headline\strapline at the week-end, but went no further. A tad over the top!

I heard Warsi on the news programme at lunchtime. Whoever it was interviewing asked her "So is this as big a problem as Labour's with anti-Semitism?"

To her credit Warsi declined to give give an opinion with something like "I don't think we should be looking at it like that"

goodnight, everyone
