Dave,
No-one else is afraid to say what they think, so why is it too dangerous for Dave?

If you are afraid to say what you think of Shah's comments, there is little point in reading what little you do have to say on the issues.

Ians is not my friend, and we have little in common except a contempt for the bullying tactics your little group uses to dominate all political threads.

It is not at all dangerous. Just pointless as are most conversations with you Keith. You have obviously not read or taken notice of anything I have said for years so why are you so interested in my views on this one thing?

Meanwhile, another glorious day out here on the Connemara, the hegderows are full of fuschia in bloom, montbretia abound in the verges and self-heal, leafy hawkweed, tufted vetch, purple loose strive, common February, common valerian and silverweed are just a few of the flowers in blossom. I,m puzzled by one though. It looks like creeping buttercup but has 4 petals not 5.

Roll On the 31st August when the flail cutters can come out in all their glory and tame the hedgerows again. This will make driving along narrow country roads marginally safer. Nice the nesting birds take precedence over the safety of humans.

Because you are so reluctant to tell us!

After all your evasions and nauseating coyness I am sure we are all agog to know what it is you are so desperate to hide.

You know very well that her comments were anti-Semitic and that she advocated transportation because she freely admits it.

Times today,
"Corbyn is under pressure from MPs and socialist politicians in Europe to condemn personally President Maduro's violent regime in Venezuela.
British MPs from all parties called last night for the Labour leader to speak out after his historical support for the state's leadership. "

Labour MP Angela Smith, "I hope that my party leadership will as soon as possible condemn what's happening in the country and call for the release of opposition party political prisoners," she said.
Graham Jones, another Labour MP and chairman of the group, said: "I believe everybody in the Labour Party should condemn the Venezuelan regime because the first duty of any state is to look after its citizens. Venezuela has failed."

"Before Corbyn appointed Keeley to the shadow cabinet, she said of him:"the current state of the party means we will not be able to mount an effective front bench opposition." Quite…

Hard to believe she is the mental health shadow secretary! Is her next promotion to shadow educashun secretary. I hope she is literate because she surely ain't numerate."

There hasn't been numerate in the Labour Party since it was formed. Their track record in Government has been consistently woeful.

On the Venezuela thing - I dare say to such as Corbyn and McDonnell Maduro's handling of Venezuela's economical and political problems is without fault - nothing must stand in the way of "socialist" ideology - the ruination of the country he was elected to govern must only be considered as merely a small price to pay along with the inevitable downward spiral. Corbyn and McDonnell would do the same to the UK in the blink of an eye.

Dave, it is binary.
You either agreed with Steve or me. She did or she didn't.

You never have any problem agreeing with Steve, but you could not bring yourself to say that he was wrong and I was right, and that is all this is.
Not rocket science.
Your denial just makes you look even more ridiculous.

It is not too late to tell us if you think Steve was right after all.
Do you think her comments including "The Jews are rallying" were not anti-Semitic even though she says they were.
Do you think she did not advocate transportation, even though she says she did.

Venezuela,
Labour MP John Mann, the chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) Against Antisemitism, said his party should "condemn the authoritarian regime".

He said: "The government has refused to protect the Jewish community there from anti-Semitic attacks and refused to meet me and other international politicians to discuss this.
"Venezuela is a despot regime…, leaving millions living in abject poverty and on the verge of starvation."

Asked about the Labour leadership's position, Mr Mann said: "It is time to revise our understanding of Venezuela and condemn unreservedly its current slide into violence, poverty and dictatorship."

Anyone here disagree with Mann>

Of course it is, Poobad. because every politician in the world always says exactly what they mean and always tell the truth.

When Trump said he would build a wall paid for by Mexico, that is what happened.

When May said there would be no election until 2020 that is exactly what she meant.

So, to follow wriggler's logic, a politician can make all kinds of racist comments but they can be disregarded because politicians always lie. Hmm, thankfully the majority of voters are somewhat more perspicacious than that.

I just saw a lovely quote from someone on another thread. It said something like

it is not "anti-semitic" for someone to criticize everyday conservative Judaism generally and Judaic fundamentalism in particular. On the contrary, criticism is a prerequisite for any lasting reformation within Judaism.

I think it may have been about another religious group but I cannot remember who posted it...

I agree with that statement Dave, but advocating the transportation of Jews from the Middle East goes way beyond criticising "everyday conservative Judaism generally and Judaic fundamentalism in particular."

And Shah admits doing that.
Also of warning that "The Jews are rallying."

That is blatant and nasty racism, which you and Steve refuse to recognise.

This thread concerns UK politics, and Venezuela and Labour's position on it is a major news story right now.
If you have "no idea of the situation" do some reading.
