I mean, he was at the front of the Stop the War march in Feb '03 and many others to boot. He's never been pro-war, he let his Labour membership lapse when Kinnock refused to take a stand against the first Gulf war. But he has always been very clear that he'd tactically vote for anyone to keep the Tories (or worse parties) out. "I attended the antiwar demonstrations, and yes, the war was a total waste of money. But do you think the Tories would do any different? Do you think the Tories would spend that money on the public the next time? Do you think the Tories won’t pal up with George Bush and the neocons?...Margaret Hodge is the Labour MP for my home town of Barking. The BNP recently won a seat on the local council and is targeting the area. Hodge is an ultra-Blairite who voted for the war. Should I stand back and say well, she is culpable, and let the BNP take over my home town, or should I get stuck in against the fascists? No contest."<br /><br />I would also argue that the fact that Ched Evans was found not guilty says more about the poor state of our inherently patriarchal judicial system than it does about his character. I worked for a number of years helping high risk ex offenders find gainful employment after their lengthy prison sentences, but the fact remains that whilst they have a right to put their past behind them once their time is served, they do not have a right to simply walk back into their old life.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569732807130090838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-54583139476836829322019-07-05T20:46:00.937+01:002019-07-05T20:46:00.937+01:00I see, sticking "Von" in front of someon...I see, sticking "Von" in front of someone's name on this blog indicates they are a fascist. <br /><br />Ursula VON der Leyen, candidate for President of the European Commission, a body reckoned to be democratic and approved of by this blog falls into this category.

During my five year’s employment in th...Dear Zelo ,<br />During my five year’s employment in the ME I formed the opinion that Semitic people have a love of verbal dexterity and a tendency to hyperbole , illustratively in their addiction to bartering . I’ll give a few examples of this tendency :<br />“Mother of All Battles” …. Saadam Hussein <br />“Your grave awaits you” ….. King Abdullah<br />“Existential threat to British Jewry” …. Jonathan Sacks<br />“F**king Anti-Semite” …. Margaret Hodge<br />Obviously in response a useful tool to bear in mind is the British quality , which in older days was more prized , that of Understatement . Much of the discussion of ‘anti-Semitism’ in the Labour party has followed the Zionist premise , where they are trying to exclusively conflate ‘anti-Zionist’ and ‘anti-Jewish’ . It is an attempt to confuse and surely also tries to muddy the waters of ‘anti-Semitism’ , in particular that variety practised against Palestinians and the equally Semitic Arabs as a whole .Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114299420475055526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-7986962246267842482019-07-05T18:04:27.490+01:002019-07-05T18:04:27.490+01:00Bragg has form.

The concept of one paying one's price to society & being entitled to re-enter the work force after jail seemed to allude Bragg. Of course on re-trial Ched Evans was found Not Guilty of rape and still plays football. Bragg should think before he tweets.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-61576984239044457982019-07-05T16:28:14.019+01:002019-07-05T16:28:14.019+01:00Dear Billy isn't the sharpest knife in the box...Dear Billy isn't the sharpest knife in the box.<br /><br />He's a shit singer as well.<br /><br />But it takes all types......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
