And, now, so are we . . .

Good morfternoon.

And here we both are.

Unchaperoned?

I see the Graun have gone full bore on the 'Labour Antisemitism' story again.

[PaulfromYorkshire]

Indeed.

The story is basically "there are people on Twitter with opinions"

And Rachel Riley's a Saint.

I see the Graun have gone full bore on the 'Labour Antisemitism' story again.

Actually, the Observer.

There is still a significant difference, the Obs has been politically awful for over a decade - the daily paper still isn't as bad despite its decline under Viner.

I see the Graun have gone full bore on the 'Labour Antisemitism' story again.

I've read the report [pdf] identified in one article.
I'm really at a loss here after having read and re-read the report. The evidence provided doesn't support the conclusions made. What is the Labour party supposed to do about a couple dozen unidentified twitter users posting offensive tweets?

[PorFavor]

I see the Graun have gone full bore on the 'Labour Antisemitism' story again.

Why can't the Labour Party play the "satire" card on the anti-semitism issue? Everybody else is doing it lately. And, seemingly, getting away with it.

For example -

England would be better off without Scotland, Tory candidate said

Conservative vying to win back Bedford seat said taxpayers south of the border are ‘fleeced’ by Scots


Ryan Henson was selected last year as the Conservative candidate for Bedford and Kempston, which Labour won from the previous Tory MP, Richard Fuller, in 2017 with a wafer-thin majority of 789 votes.

Last night Henson said the article [which he wrote for "Conservative Home"] had been intended as satire. (Observer)

More interesting than I'd reckoned
Comments below ought to be a hoot

[AnatolyKasparov]

Talking of satire, the latest DFH piece doesn't disappoint in that regard.

[citizenJA]

Dan Hodges isn't being satirical, is he?

[Sky'sGoneOut]

I see I have no responses to my 'name that pond snail' competition.

This disappoints me and makes me wonder if any of you are worth the effort.

Then other less visited parts of my brain remind me it's probably best not to make a fuss.

Give it a poncho and a cheroot.

Written on my birthday after Leeds won away at Bristol a lovely dinner and currently chilling to Forbidden Colours by Sylvian and Sakamoto.

Happy days

I'm afraid I vape and there's no fucking way I'm wearing a poncho.

Keeping up with the Americans.

All gone, all forgotten. Nobody cares.

The world we lived in is now something else.

[Sky'sGoneOut]

A world where all is welll.

PorFavor has my respect.

The rest of you not so much.

[Sky'sGoneOut]

Hindle of course is different.

All I want is for people to stop being dicks.
