You're half way there.

Find Gloom's views on Israel very balanced tbh. No way he has enough of the proper blood.

That may well be, but my point is that there is a new momentum with regard to how younger people interact with politics and hard media. Things that get traction on twitter or Facebook and other forums and independent publishers go half way around the world within a day or two. Ideas are being discussed sometimes without any interplay from the MSM. I obviously agree on Brexit with reg to the quality of the information/misinformation...Even some of these anti-EU Youtube accounts had many tens of thousand of views.

It's not whether the info is correct (all news is spun or agenda driven anyway) its how it's being accessed and discussed. More and more the legacy media is being bypassed. The 6 conglomerates that own 90% of the American media and the entrenched MSM in the UK are losing their hold. I think this process will continue. People under 30-35 just don't believe most of what the MSM peddle anymore.

Correct.

The history of the Labour left is alligned with the history of Jews in UK politics. From the TUC, Trades Council 1918, London Labour, In the 30's, 40's 40's and 60's when there was open discrimination against Jews taking positions in politics Labour had between 36 and 66 Jewish MP's. The history of the Labour party is entwined with working class Jewery in the UK. The Labour Party is the most inclusive political organization across the board in the whole of Europe probably. These latest weak attacks are all about the rise of Momentum and a strong stand against Israel across the whole spectrum of new members and the Old Guard. It simply won't be tolerated by the legacy MSM. (Yes the MSM is losing its grip). Brexit was the first sign that people organised and gained information in other areas than the mass media. The Trump phemomena is the same and the rise of the Front National is the same. Social media and other like for like platforms is where the vast maj of people under 30 new exchange ideas and 'news'.

UK politicians aren't allowed to criticize Israel or stand up for Palestine. If they do they are dragged through the mud.

The problem is that any criticism of Israel is verboten.

The wider Labour Party and Corbyn are fully supportive of the Palestinian cause and this irritates various elements within and without the UK hence the continual mud slinging. Jeremy Corbyn described unspecified Israeli politicians as “criminal” and criticised the fairness of BBC coverage of Palestine, in a letter to William Hague written two years before he became Labour leader. The letter is one of a series written by Mr Corbyn to Foreign Office ministers, released following a Freedom of Information request. The Labour leader has been a longstanding and outspoken critic of Israel’s illegal settlements in Palestinian territory and its blockade of Gaza. In a letter to Mr Hague, the then Foreign Secretary, in March 2013, he describes a recent visit to Gaza, which he said resembled “one huge suffering refugee camp”. “At one of the meetings I attended I was asked if we would, at the very least, a) stop allowing Israel’s criminal politicians to come to our country freely, if we would ensure the BBC portray Palestine fairly and c) if we would end the siege of Gaza,” he writes. http://www.timesofisrael.com/jeremy-corbyns-son-helps-stage-pro-palestinian-play-on-campus/ Smears of anti-Semitism against Corbyn started even before he was elected. During his leadership campaign in the summer of 2015, the establishment media worked itself into a frenzy of anti-Corbyn hysteria, led more than any other paper by the liberal Guardian. One of the recurring themes in this campaign was Corbyn’s long-standing support for Palestinian human rights. Because of this, attempts were made to say outright, or to imply, that Corbyn was a secret anti-Semite, or that he associated with, or tolerated “notorious” anti-Semites. Although these hit jobs gained some traction, they were soon debunked, and ultimately seemed to have little impact on the leadership election. This dishonest theme is now being revisited. In February, the slow drip of anti-Semitism scare stories burst into a flood. https://electronicintifada.net/content/how-israel-lobby-manufactured-uk-labour-partys-anti-semitism-crisis/16481

Never heard of him tbh.

Edwin Jagger DE89 Edwin Jagger makes some of the finest safety razors for wet shaving in the business, and the DE89 double-edged razor is no exception. They even make custom razors for Gilette's cartridge razors, so if you prefer one of those, visit their website—you may like their blades better. The DE89 however is a beautuful razor, it comes with blades, and offers a smooth, short handle that's easy to control. Loading and unloading is easy, and the handle is well balanced. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edwin-Jagger-DE89L-Detail-Chrome/dp/B005GO38ZY?th=1 ..........and as Tooj says the Merkur long handle. http://www.muehle-shaving.com/en/Shop/

When I stay with my mate in Surbiton we always shop in Sainsbury.

You lot should move to Europe. Slavishly linking every doom laden article as you sip your posh coffee.

Love the Orb. I deprogrammed a whole local cult just by using this tune.

"We have hope...Rebellions are built on hope! " Delivered with the gravitas of an Oxo commercial.

CDU MEP Hermann Winkler has called for a coalition between the AfD and his party. He says that if they joined forces at both national and the federal level there could be co-operation with the right-wing populists which would effectively secure Mrs Merkel's control of the state." Merkel trying to cut a deal with the hard right.

From the Polish treasury. http://msp.gov.pl/en/polish-economy/economic-news/4015,dok.html Economic News Poland to get nearly EUR 106 bln from 2014-2020 EU budget pool. You do know we're the 3rd highest net contributor? You talk like the EU gave London the financial sector. It has been for over a 100 years a world leading financial hub mate.

It's gong to be a steaming pile of shit. Just pulling at the nostalgia strings of old men and playing to 14 girls. Absolutely nothing to offer.

Tusk reckons it will be hard Bx or no Bx. Seems he's laying down some kind of marker for his masters. This is the problem with the EU they just won't talk or accept there might be need for some change and that feelings are high in many countries. A lifelong politician who hails from Poland - largely a third world country that has had massive influx of EU money (inc our own) who's people have for a decade been welcomed and work in the UK....Yet here he is acting like some kind of attack dog. Some of these piddling little countries might need think back to when we risked everything to save their nations from the Nazis. There are a lot of good people sitting on the fence at the moment looking to negotiate and compromise on both sides. I genuinely hope it doesn't get nasty...Because nobody does nasty better than us.

Half of it's being re-shot. Yes it was that bad.

Think you've said it better than him.

I'm to defending it just bringing some balance. NATO/Coalition did far worse in Iraq for ages.

Of course its a tragedy and I agree the Russians have been needlessly cruel in Aleppo. In war its always the civilians who get the worst of it. But the Russians and Syrians have liberated many other towns where massive cruelty was being inflicted on the civilians by the Jihadi's inc a rape culture, torture and routine beheadings.
