Mr. Eagles, I agree that Facebook likes and Twitter RTs are of, at best, limited value.
That said, comparing Leavers with those opposing same sex marriage doesn't exactly erode the perception that some Remainers have a superiority complex.
Miss Cyclefree, blimey. I shall sacrifice a goat to Asclepius on your behalf. Hope you are fully mended soon.
I don't have a superiority complex.
I'm just superior in fact and person
"My name is George Nathaniel Curzon, I am a most superior person. My cheeks are pink, my hair is sleek, I dine at Blenheim twice a week."
This thread is poor, it conflates party membership with party voters. Party voters have little power compared to the members - so the thread tries to imply UKIP have an internal Antisemitism problem on a larger or similar scale to Labour, when there is little evidence for it.

That's why the LDs don't feature - the membership is the voters. Both of them.

Whatever the story, it must be bad news for LEAVE, apparently.
I don't want any religion, or people who act in the name of a religion, to have any influence in British political life. Keep politics secular, and let people prostrate themselves to images of the tooth fairy behind closed doors.
Oh FFS parties are not responsible the sort of people that claim support for them or that vote for them, this premise just won't fly, anyone to the right of UKIP is going to vote UKIP as the most rightwing party on offer, just as all the leftie nutters would vote SWP (although now Corbyn's Labour might be to the left of them).
You can chuck out members that misbehave, it's going to be tough to chuck out voters that you don't like.
If you lift up stones, you find all kinds of insect life wriggling underneath.
I feel very sorry for Labour supporters today, the great majority of whom must be holding their heads in despair today. Those people deserve better.
I have sympathy for the likes of SO. For those who voted for Corbyn, not so much. None, in fact. For those MPs who mutter behind their hands and to journalists but who do nothing, my sympathy is turning to contempt.

Chances if you got medical treatment in NYC your doctor was Jewish or Muslim. How appropriate for today's discussions and developments.

I've lived in Britain all 38 years of my life and I think I've only ever met two Jews...
I met four Israelis in our casino in Vegas*. That's two more than I've met here!
*The one girl from Tel Aviv was smoking hot.. woah...absolutely smoking!
You've probably met many in the UK without realizing. Personally, that's how I like non-discrimination to be - only aware of someone's faith if they chose to reveal it to you.
What is a respectable social scientist doing pushing such a load of twaddle anyway. It's like because the local BNP decided to go to the Fox & Hounds for their Christmas drink the landlord must be a fascist.
I've always found Anti-Semitism a curious thing in the Tory Party.
One of my heroes, a true One Nation Tory, Harold MacMillan said when there were quite a few Jews in Lady Thatcher's cabinet, “The thing about Margaret's Cabinet is that it includes more Old Estonians than it does Old Etonians.”
But it was an appalling comment, he wasn't my hero because he said that, but because he was a One Nation Tory.

Isn't more that most Jewish people in the UK are Jew-ish rather than Jewish, such as having one parent who is fully Jewish?

Even better ... Intermarriage is the sign of true tolerance and acceptance
Wow! POTUS Donald looks like it might be on. We'll certainly have the liveliest and most entertaining campaign EVER. Even if she wins Hillary is going to be damaged goods after the beasting Trump is going to give her. From emails to Benghazi, from Bill to her execrable record in office, from corruption to money (some of which Trump himself gave her) - it's going to be a whackathon. I'm 100 sure Trump has the most amazing little black book full of HRC flavoured shit to spray around. It's going to be magnificent.
If we leave the EU we will all become anti Zionist bigots and have to build an ark to protect us from the global warming floods.
Think that just about covers all the angles.......
I think you mean "ark". An "arc" is something to do with electricity isn't it? And an electrical arc and floods REALLY wouldn't be a good idea....
Damn! I changed it as quick as I could. I blame autocorrect.
As the chief designer of the Ark I should know... This latest one was just a more updated model
If you name it "Ark Royal" we can even fly and land planes from it!
What a superb name for a ship though. It really was. Legendary. I was lucky enough to visit the one that Rod Stewart sang about. Sadly that one became so old that maintenance costs were becoming a serous issue. They even had to get Rod to rerecord his theme tune....

At my grammar school, in our class of 30 (from 1987-1994), eight were Jews. But to put into context, there were also eight Asians (including yours truly), and two mixed race people (including Labour's Alex Hilton from 1990).
Of the Asians, three were Hindu, two Muslim, two Christian and one Sikh.
What a silly article - the nub is whether MPs and persons holding office within the parties hold these views.
It's also a question of whether it is institutionally tolerated. I don't believe it is in the Tory Party
Yes. It is inconceivable that any senior Tory would behave the way Ken did today. It is also pretty inconceivable that a Tory MP would do what Shah did.
The reason the Left is in a bind is because this discourse is privately tolerated, even encouraged in Lefty circles - the anti-Zio crap at universities, the Jew-hating stuff from British-Islamic Labourites, and it's been tolerated so long they've forgotten how awful it looks to outsiders.
Hence perhaps Naz Shah's "shock" at what she herself said. Perhaps she was speaking the truth. It's only when she stepped back and took a good hard look at herself that she realised she was being actively racist.
Some weak whataboutery being peddled by apologists today. Birrell, Rentoul, the usual suspects.

Very impressed by his foreign policy speech too. America First, will keep the foreign policy and antiwar crowd on board. Interestingly Newt Gingrich very laudatory, rumours of a potential VP spot, but perhaps a better fit for Chief of Staff or some such position.

Just returned from the Isle of Wight (abroad) and on the ferry there was a lady wearing dark glasses and a scarf hidden behind a paper called "Russia ???" something or other with the face of Gorbachov on its front page.

"Trump will win the state by a YUuuuuuuuuuge margin but watch out for wide geographic variability which may well hand some CDs to Kasich near DC (4, 5, 8) are the ones to watch I think."
I wrote that in my thread header on the race - Trump was certainly NOT a foregone conclusion in the DC suburbs, he was soundly defeated in Northern VA by Marco Rubio earlier in the cycle.
It showed alot of progress and was one of the reasons I topped up my position.

I'm honestly questioning why I ever thought he seemed like an alright scamp of a chap. In the last few years it's become apparent to me he is pretty despicable as a person - hateful, petty, hypocritical, self righteous and actually pretty dim as well. I've no doubt he's done and said things which would seem to argue against being anti-Semitic, but after so many times it feels like that is, consciously or not, just how he internally justifies his positions while still seeing himself as the hero of his own story. You can still be a bad person even if sometimes, somewhere, you happen to be kind, and so it is with Ken - however he attempts to justify himself, how he may even genuinely view himself, the preponderance of the evidence of his views leans toward his opponent's opinions of him being correct.
I appreciate that rant is probably late to the party, but I've been offline most of the day, and even expecting him to say something to defend Shah (that it was expected, and that it would be with deflections of the issue, is an issue in itself), pretty shocking events.

It's just disastrous for Labour. Full on civil war. The left is going crazy on Twitter.
Thing is they are half right, there clearly is a Blairite attempt to destabilise Corbyn. e.g. John Mann was obviously hamming it up for the cameras, today.
True enough - just a question of if it is justifiable, which given the topic it is, but clearly significant numbers will disagree. Tory civil war and a stonking great win in London for Khan notwithstanding, things are still not well in the heart of Labour.

Ah .... that cunning KGB man Putin ....
Just returned from the Isle of Wight (abroad) and on the ferry there was a lady wearing dark glasses and a scarf hidden behind a paper called "Russia ???" something or other with the face of Gorbachov on its front page.
I think there could be Russian sleepers in Cowes.
Beware !
It's what they do when they ain't sleeping that's the problem
If we leave the EU we will all become anti Zionist bigots and have to build an ark to protect us from the global warming floods.
Think that just about covers all the angles.......
I think you mean "ark". An "arc" is something to do with electricity isn't it? And an electrical arc and floods REALLY wouldn't be a good idea....
Damn! I changed it as quick as I could. I blame autocorrect.
As the chief designer of the Ark I should know... This latest one was just a more updated model
If you name it "Ark Royal" we can even fly and land planes from it!
What a superb name for a ship though. It really was. Legendary. I was lucky enough to visit the one that Rod Stewart sang about. Sadly that one became so old that maintenance costs were becoming a serous issue. They even had to get Rod to rerecord his theme tune....

RN ships always used to have excellent names. Warspite. Iron Duke. Dreadnought. Ark Royal. They said 'Britannia rules the waves and don't mess, sunshine'. These days it all seems a bit less uplifting. The two new carriers are OK but utterly bland. I'd have preferred HMS Throatripper and HMS Bloodaxe - or similar.
Did the change in naming practice coincide with the Ministry of War becoming the Ministry of Defence?
I always like HMS Indomitable as a name. Shade of the Borg Collective - resistance is futile.
Unfortunately, HMS Resistance was cancelled during WW1:

Finally !! I have actually been on a British train line you haven't. *high 5 selfie*

I feel very sorry for Labour supporters today, the great majority of whom must be holding their heads in despair today. Those people deserve better.
Daft poll - Party leaders can’t help who supports their party, but they can decide which MPs represent their party.

You can chuck out members that misbehave, it's going to be tough to chuck out voters that you don't like.
I've lived in Britain all 38 years of my life and I think I've only ever met two Jews...
I met four Israelis in our casino in Vegas*. That's two more than I've met here!
*The one girl from Tel Aviv was smoking hot.. woah...absolutely smoking!

They were either fools or knaves. Likely both.
Yes of course, why didn't we all see it?
Chances if you got medical treatment in NYC your doctor was Jewish or Muslim. How appropriate for today's discussions and developments.
Trump 38 - Clinton 38
Trump leads 38 to 27 amongst unaffiliated.
One of my heroes, a true One Nation Tory, Harold MacMillan said when there were quite a few Jews in Lady Thatcher's cabinet, “The thing about Margaret's Cabinet is that it includes more Old Estonians than it does Old Etonians.”
But it was an appalling comment, he wasn't my hero because he said that, but because he was a One Nation Tory.

Of the Asians, three were Hindu, two Muslim, two Christian and one Sikh.

Very impressed by his foreign policy speech too. America First, will keep the foreign policy and antiwar crowd on board. Interestingly Newt Gingrich very laudatory, rumours of a potential VP spot, but perhaps a better fit for Chief of Staff or some such position.

I wrote that in my thread header on the race - Trump was certainly NOT a foregone conclusion in the DC suburbs, he was soundly defeated in Northern VA by Marco Rubio earlier in the cycle.
It showed alot of progress and was one of the reasons I topped up my position.
I don't want to eat anything that might have had Cameron's dangly bits in it.
On today of all days, the top article on the BBC's "most read" is ... *drumroll* ...
"Hi-de-Hi! actor Barry Howard dies at 78"
WTF
Personally I call it hypocrisy but still.

Agree: UKIP voters 18%; Labour voters 10%; Tory voters 9%."
Is this really just another sign that the Labour Leadership are way out of line with the views of their voters?

I'm honestly questioning why I ever thought he seemed like an alright scamp of a chap. In the last few years it's become apparent to me he is pretty despicable as a person - hateful, petty, hypocritical, self righteous and actually pretty dim as well. I've no doubt he's done and said things which would seem to argue against being anti-Semitic, but after so many times it feels like that is, consciously or not, just how he internally justifies his positions while still seeing himself as the hero of his own story. You can still be a bad person even if sometimes, somewhere, you happen to be kind, and so it is with Ken - however he attempts to justify himself, how he may even genuinely view himself, the preponderance of the evidence of his views leans toward his opponent's opinions of him being correct.
I appreciate that rant is probably late to the party, but I've been offline most of the day, and even expecting him to say something to defend Shah (that it was expected, and that it would be with deflections of the issue, is an issue in itself), pretty shocking events.

1) that the EU is good for young people
2) that the EU protects workers' rights.
They don't make 'em like they used to.
Which means there's only a few more days left of the BBC's election coverage on the iplayer.
