I am pleased that the Arab-run Al-Jazeera has joined the equally unbiased Morning Star in clearing Corbyn of anti-Semitism.
This proves the bias of the Equality and Human rights Commission investigation:-

to say nothing of the 53 page report on Anti-Semitism In The Labour Party cited by The Times of Israel
https://www.timesofisrael.com/document-lists-9-instances-of-anti-semitism-by-corbyn-among-thousands-in-labour/
Some of my best friends are Jewish etc etc.

It's interesting that many are still hood winked on what is really happening , and who really controls what goes on
Once general elections on the horizon many different undercover or even quite public bodies work to get the party in that isn't going to disrupt the millions held by a few.
From the national press to all the other bodies its interesting that few pick up on the true picture .

I can see that HMG should have a position regarding international relations and conflicts in other parts of the world. However, it makes me uncomfortable when individual parties take one too.

I'm sure the Civil Service will set out UK foreign policy to any incoming Labour administration (although that picture is five years old and reflects a very different time).

Same here, for me the only time such a stance would be acceptable would be concerning a Hitler type regime.

All you who supported the Palestinians all these years - the truth is THIS is what you’ve supported.
You had an idea in your head what you were supporting. Your silly little naive romantic western head.
I remember seeing local Labour councillors turn up at meetings wearing their 'Free Palestine' badges.
'They aren't terrorists but freedom fighters because St Nelson of Mandella said something like that once'.
But THIS is what you were supporting: racist blood-thirsty Islamic fundamentalist savages.
The year is 2005.
Israel pulls out of Gaza.
They remove every last Jew from their homes there, giving it up to Palestinian leaders in a bold move for peace.
Instead of deciding to live in peace with Israel, and making Gaza an oasis, they turned it into a jihadi terror base.

Unconstructive response: Yawn.
Constructive response: Look, KS, if you believe that our democracy is a sham (as I do), that the UK political parties are essentially identical in social, economic and foreign policy (as I do), then voting for one or other machine-pressed politician will simply reinforce such policies. This, for me, is not a 'solution'.

I share that view of you look at my postings .
But the two major parties are not going to change the voting system any time soon

If I do not like cornflakes (and I do not), it is no solution to say to me 'It would help if Kellogg's and Asda gave up some of their market share to Tesco and Sainsbury's.'
My problem is not with 'the voting system'. Replacing FPTP with (some version of) PR will not change policy directions that are already set in stone.

The interesting thing about the above notice is just how far Labour will stamp down on their members to appear electable.
#1165 shows plainly that (whatever you or I might think about the cause) - 'Free Palestine' support, was almost an article of faith to Labour Membership - as was 'taking the Knee' for some petty criminal killed in another country & allowing the harassment of the Canterbury MP while claiming you didn't know what a woman was.
'Obviously' the whole membership has changed over the past few years as have Labour policies and beliefs -- or is it just a ruse because they seek power rather than change?
Can we expect candidates and members next to be advised not to appear on picket lines whilst showing their membership?
