I've seen more AS on PFM than I've ever encountered in my life. It all seems to come from a certain quarter. I've reported countless posts. The members who posted them have their comments deleted and continued to post. (These are the only posts I've ever reported). I say that as someone who has...

And by that logic you're only anti-Semitic if you're more anti-Semitic than average. If people were drinking an average daily amount, they shouldn't remain in AA. Beyond that, people in AA make a commitment not to drink. At all in front of each other in meetings, presumably. People in...

By this logic it wouldn't be a 'problem' to have people drinking vodka in the middle of an AA meeting if they were just drinking the average daily amount. The problem is it is hard to get very far circulating fake letters one day and then sending out real ones the next. The campaign will go...

Even though I linked you to a letter that my Momentum friends are using instead! I always thought if there was a disputed site or organisation the thing to do was to look for independent verification, see if it is just a couple of gents making claims and inventing names, or if anyone has...

Seriously?! Well I could ask them a question about their huge organisation. But I'd be the first. Ever. https://unitedeuropeanjews.org/question-answer/

Try on their website to find out more information about them: https://unitedeuropeanjews.org/512-2/ The only thing on their website is this letter and maybe others like it. And they don't appear on Companies House. Maybe Sqwawkbox or whatever might have preferred this one instead. At least...

You're suggesting it is Islamophobic to say that 'islamophobia' is not the flip-side of 'anti-semitism'? I must be misunderstanding you. Islamophobia - directed at people of a particular faith. Anti-semitism also being directed at people of a particular ethnicity.

And your point is?

Except when you phone the number the letter lists for its organisation you will hear: "You have dialled an incorrect number." And when you google "Rabbi Mayer Weinberger" you will get no hits. If you google "United European Jews Executive Board" you will get nowhere. If you visit the address...

Is this right? (I'm not up on Tory party machinations. And I'm not sure of the source): A large Tory majority would enable Johnson to keep asking for extensions given he can't negotiate anything in a year, or two years for that matter. Whereas a small Tory majority puts No Deal right back on...

The Chief Rabbi? More than half of Britain's Jews regard him as spiritual leader.Position recognised as a leading Jewish voice in Britain (and recognised as such by Archbishops etc.) Spiritual leader of the United Synagogues, a big collection of orthodox synagogues. Members of the Jewish...

What's the ball they're using?

Labour commissioned a report edited by Monbiot that came out in about June. I think lots of the economic stuff comes from there. But I've got nowhere reading the Labour manifesto on it. I think probably won't sound good when you get into it (e.g. single parent gives only child 1 million and...

Where does the idea of 'reversing cuts' come from? It looks like a far more radical proposal, intended to cut a knife through the complex tax lawyer's attempts to pass money intergenerationally with their trusts, woodland, IHT-exempt schemes. By giving each person a lifetime allowance of...

He is "Labour" surely? He was a member of the Labour party Economic Advisory Committee convened by McDonnell, and resigned from the committee over the Labour Party's brexit position. I recall he was in favour of Starmer being given the authority on Brexit. I'm no economist and would love to...
