I really don't want to come back into this at the moment - I have already been reprimanded by Keith in a PM for having done so (happy to put it up with my reply - waddya say Keith?)
"Not fair to accuse Mike, Jim"
Sorry Don - not convinced.
I have a vivid memory of Mike having supported Keith's vile outpourings on Muslims as not being racist on the 'Muslim prejudice' thread while at the same time being (rightly) offended at the idea of all Jews being categorised as usurers.
Don't particularly want to wade through that particular cess-pit again, but I might be persuaded if it was thought necessary - and it goes without saying, I apologise in advance if I have mis-remembered.
I still firmly believe his opposition to the Israeli regime is 'praising them with faint damns', but I might be persuaded otherwise if he was to offer an opinion on Shatila/Sabra, or toxic sites, or the forcible removal of Bedouins from their lands to make room for settlements, or the use of chemicals on lands, livestock and people..... but I'm sure Mike has as little concern for my opinion of him as I have for his of mine.
Now - a bit of weeding before it starts to piss with rain again.
