@therattle I don't disagree. The way the whole thing has been handled is shocking. It should of been a quick expulsion in every circumstance of anti-semitism and a very quick and forthright statement on what the values of the party are, specificall…
For what it's worth and of course, these are just opinions...
100% there are anti-semites on the left, idiots who to generalise, confuse Israel and its policies with all Jewish people or hold some tinpot theory of Zionism that doesn't chime with re…
@Arkady well said.
@LukeG ...
"Big business should obviously pay tax... not at all the same as literally taking 10% of their capital to give it to workers that's actually theft. Tax business how you want and stop tax evasion, that's different to s…
@LukeG not to go point by point but...
Big business not paying tax looks a lot like theft to me.
Sweden’s broadband scheme in the early 00’s has created viable links in business between rural communities and big cities.
Private schools, I give …
...and sorry, not to bang on, but the reason Labour are desperately trying to change the argument away from brexit - with broadband and whatever else they come up with today, is for the reason above, if they can't change the subject over Brexit, we'…
For what it's worth, I will vote Labour, but not with the same gusto as in previous years. Labour are in a no-win situation in terms of brexit, the vast majority of their seats voted leave (the inverse being true for the Lib Dems, thus their aggres…
I do sometimes feel that i'm living in some sort of parallel universe to people on this board. Stroud Green is great. It has a thriving high street that isn't just the generic cut and paste that plagues most other high streets, not just in London b…
@Arkady very true - in my continuing chats with SG police, they say that every dealer they pick up has pockets full of pound coins (given in exchange for drugs by people begging). It's completely understandable that people want to give money to home…
I regularly shout at people who drop litter or piss on my road - not sure it's a great deterrent but i've always felt that if the 99% of people who are offended bollocked the 1% who offend, it might do something? One can hope.
Here's some catnip f…
I used to think, when he was in the earlier phases of his political voice that he could say almost anything and I'd always love him for the smiths, not sure I can quite stand by it now. Louder than bombs though, changed my life.
depends on the bike, I think micycle are good if you've got an old bike thats for simple a to b's but if you have a higher spec, i'm not sure there's the finesse in there...IMO.
@joust honest question - do you think all the money is spent on the park? I know its supposed to be and I don't particularly want to become conspiratorial but, it does seem as to @Arkady and @Papa 's point that it doesn't look like it. The park is…
@HolbornFox You're completely right, I wouldn't have given it a second thought as 17 year old, but I feel the gripe isn't with the attendees, it's the organisers.
It does feel like a money grab for want of a better phrase from the council and the …
If you balance out the pros and cons - pro, young people having fun, expressing themselves, money (in theory) to the park, great.
But the cons are Finsbury park looking like a fortress for a couple of weeks, the lack of green space that is necessa…
