Current Affairs Jeremy Corbyn, Russian/Czech agent ?......

[bluestevon]

Members of the Jewish community have lodged more than 1,000 official complaints calling on Labour to investigate Jeremy Corbyn over anti-Semitism.
The complaints, delivered to the party headquarters on Monday, allege that Mr Corbyn has brought the Labour party into disrepute by creating a “safe haven” for racists.......

Are you really surprised that those who love, value and protect our country would not allow a nutter to destroy it.......

It's called democracy, the will of the people, the mother of all parliaments', which went out the window on Friday. When the executive acted with dictatorial powers.

There is no implication that others will die.

I did indeed mean that I will live through it, or with it as you say. Some people will not be able to live through it as he would certainly destroy our economy. He has no policies except to borrow and spend money on all his promises, which are added to every time he remembers a new sector of voters. Those with resources will, as always, be fine until he gets thrown out, with the economy in tatters. My fear is for those that are already poor and vulnerable......

Who are bearing the brunt of austerity and many having sanctions illegally administered against them. 1 million sanctions against disabled people by this government, as one example.

Israeli ministers defend soldiers filmed cheering as sniper shoots Palestinian in Gaza

Israeli ministers have defended a group of soldiers filmed laughing and cheering as a sniper appears to shoot an unarmed Palestinian man on the Gaza border.

The brief video appears to have been filmed by an Israeli soldier through a pair of binoculars and captures the moment a sniper shot an unidentified Palestinian near the border fence which separates Israel from Gaza.

The man is standing still in the video and does not appear to be armed. “Wow, what a video!” one of the soldiers cheers after the gunshot rings out. “That son of a b****”.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said the video was from December 22, 2017 and not from the recent wave of protests in Gaza, in which Israeli forces have killed 31 Palestinians since the end of March.

A spokesman said the Palestinian man who was shot was one of the leaders of “a violent riot” on the Gaza border and that troops fired on him only after trying to disperse protesters with tear gas and warning shots. He was shot in the leg and injured, the military said.

The military said the soldier’s decision to film the shooting and the coarse language used in the video “do not suit the degree of restraint expected of IDF soldiers and will be dealt with by commanders accordingly”.

The video clip was widely shared on social media and drew immediate condemnation from the Palestinians and human rights groups.

“This documented case of extrajudicial killing demands the world to end Israel’s impunity and highlights a further urgency for the International Criminal Court to open an immediate investigation,” said Saeb Erekat, a senior Palestinian official.

Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli defence minister, praised the sniper but criticised the soldier who filmed the shooting.

“The sniper deserves a commendation, the photographer a court martial,” he said. “The IDF is the most moral army in the world, but when you’re at the front and facing tense situations, sometimes you let out those tensions.

"Judging soldiers because they are not expressing themselves elegantly while they are defending our borders is not serious," said Naftali Bennett, the education minister and leader of the Right-wing Jewish Home party.

Other ministers also said the video was being blown out of proportion.

The video was published amid major tensions on the Gaza border. Palestinians have been staging weekly protests demanding what they refer to as the Right of Return, the right to return to homes they were displaced from in 1948.

The last two Friday protests have ended in bloodshed and more killings are expected as the protests continue".

Ah the will of the people, a bit like Brexit.......

You may have missed it, because the way the Tories have made a mess of it, but the UK are leaving the EU.

I think any serving military or former military officer who suggests staging a coup to remove a democratically elected leaders is a traitor mate and should be in jail

And I completely agree, but that’s not what I said......

It doesn’t really matter what he has done or not done though does it. It’s what the people believe he stands for. It appears that the Jewish community have made up their minds, right or wrong........putting up an anti Jewish defence doesn’t really help....

Telegraph....

“Labour MPs were cheered as they praised Theresa May on Monday for doing “the right thing” by bombing Syria, while Jeremy Corbyn was disowned from his backbenches for turning a “blind eye” to who is responsible for gassing children.

The Labour leader was left isolated as his own MPs mocked him for criticising Mrs May for ordering airstrikes on Assad regime targets following a chemical weapons attack near Damascus.”

The worm is turning......but we need him in place until Brexit is completed.....just hold in there Jeremy......

Oh dear. If I mention what a British soldier gets up to, does that mean it is anti their religion or is it anti British?

What, helping the poor, vulnerable and disabled that you say you are 'concerned' about.

Indeed, it takes money to help the poor, just as it takes money for overseas aid. Without a vibrant economy some people will be screwed.....
