Sure.

Because railways and utilities depreciate in exactly the same way that Ian Rush does.
You clearly don't understand securitisation. Borrow now and secure against future income. The assets you mention will require significant amounts of capital unless you propose it all goes on the P&L and who will cover that? Customers? The state?
 
Religious extremists can only be countered and defeated by one party: the Labour Party.

Just as they did in the 30s with fascism against Jews.

Just as they did in the 50s and 60s with anti-Afro-Caribbean anti-Pakistani anti-Indian racism.

So it's not a very good idea by the big gob "representatives" of a minority community to destablise the LP and strengthen their right wing opponents.

Rabbi big gob might care to remember that.


Imagine the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Catholic Cardinal of England had weighed in against Tory austerity measures and said it should go against Anglican or Catholic “conscionces” to vote Conservative.

Those newspapers which are lionising Rabbi big gob would be apoplectic and castigating them for “interfering” in politics.

Never mind if the Muslim honcho had railed against genuine anti Muslim remarks Johnson has made about “letter boxes”.
 
I believe that Corbyn doesn't hate Jews and in that sense isn't the anti-Semitic person that people claim him to be; however, the whole saga isn't that clear cut.

I see it as that he doesn't care enough about anti-Semitism because he perhaps presume that they're likelier to be richer and more likely to vote Tory/not Labour.

This in itself has allowed and/or facilitated a wider spread of anti-Semitism through the lower echelons of the party, which is where the major issue should lie.

If people think that it's pure press talk and propaganda, I have real concerns; I personally know of a number of cases, to varying degrees in the last year alone.

That's not to say the other parties haven't got their own bigotry and discrimination because they have, but it shouldn't negate the discrimination in another.

I disagree, slightly, with the first bit of your post.

Not caring about anti-Semitism (at least the current definition) is something that almost the entire political class were and are guilty of - look at Boris with Taki, various Labour MPs (including Corbyn) with the anti-Zionist fringe, the Lib Dems with Ward and Tonge (admittedly they eventually withdrew the whip there), Rees-Mogg hanging around with the extreme Tory right and Despatches could put on a show in primetime TV talking about the "Israeli lobby" influencing British politics. I am not saying noone spoke up against it at the time - loads did - but it was not a topic that was the existential threat it is now claimed to be.

This indifference wasn't just about AS either - you'd be incredibly hard pushed to find any example of an MP being dealt with by a party for sexual misconduct before 2015, and what they were doing with expenses was something concealed for years. The Tories ran an openly Islamophobic campaign in London during the last mayoral election.

The change came when Corbyn became leader - people on that fringe did start to join (more accurately, re-join in many cases) and they have continued to bang on about Zionism and pretend the problem isn't them doing that. They have to be challenged, but the outcome of this - and Corbyn being leader - is that a lot of them actually are now. One of the figures I'd love to see is how many Labour members were kicked out for AS before 2015 - I'd be willing to bet a new 10p piece that it is less than it has been since.

The whole system is rigged, and the worst part of it that the serfs fall for it and vote against their own interests.
 
You support a party that has a man leading it who calls black kids pickaninny.

Worse than that, you hero worship a man that calls black kids that.

don’t forget ‘letterboxes’......and yet the majority of the populace prefer him to Corbyn......
 
that we enjoy a bit of human humour, that we are not machines, that we are not cultists, that we understand the frailties of man.....
If there ever was a cult it is the Tories' aggrandisement of Brexit. Disagree and you are cast out into the wilderness unless ye repent.
