Current Affairs The General Election

[Number_25]

Corbyn would have been better served just saying this to Andrew Neil then walking out of the room.

Would have made headlines.

I am sure Tories paid that rabbi off, why would you do that before an election which is very vital. Just bcs he is against Israel's expansionist politics, doesn't make him an anti-semite

No doubt in my mind it was a calculated move. At the end of the day though, the rabbi is just defending his interests from what he perceives to be a threat. I think a decent media should scrutinise how real that threat is but Labour antisemtism is wrapped in an hysteria unparalleled in my life time when it comes to UK politics.

I'll look forward to Andrew Neill asking Boris Johnson why British Jews can feel safe with him as PM after cozying up to Orban, Bannon and Farage.

I think Neil will give Johnson a torrid time as well, the problem will be with how the fall out is covered. It won't make the front of any nationals that's for sure.

Why sit on the fence?

Tired of them mate. The country has been utterly gutted for a decade, thousands of people have died, thousands getting benefits cut when most in need and instead we have to sit here and listen to smug knobheads pretend everything is just fine.

We hear from NHS workers and from teachers how much our schools and hospitals struggle and yet here we are...staring another Tory government in the face.

There are many many things he can take Johnson to task over, but specifically, I wonder why 'Jews' in this country would feel safer under Johnson than Corbyn?

Or why would any minority feel safe under Boris Johnson and then go onto list all of those he's insulted. Problem is, there's only half an hour so that'll take too long.

Well precisely.

I don’t think he can. He has a track record of doing silly, or what I would call very offensive/damaging things, and people such as Pete who will vote for him see it as a bit of humour. Unfortunately, I think he will get a majority. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t trust the majority of the public to reject a racist narcissist who has not shown any competency to be able to be PM.

Both leaders are unfit for office as PM.

I wish both could lose.

He could ask him why he employed Taki, a legit antisemite and racist, when at The Spectator. Of course, he'd be open to the response "Well, you still do", so he won't.

The right's concern trolling re: antisemitism is exposed for exactly that when they get on to the subject of George Soros.

That's not going to happen... I would like to believe it would, however, the Bullingdon Boris Corporation (BBC), is a mouth peice. Even Ed Davey was accusing the BBC of bias yesterday.

I’d prefer it if he asked him about Taki

Not a chance, for the reasons I've stated above.

Sorry, didn’t see you’d already mentioned him. He still writes for them, doesn’t he?

It is going to be a blood bath when he gets hold of Johnson, I'm astonished he's agreed to do it, he pulled out of the C4 debate at the weekend.
