See, it'd be nice to have a thread where that could be discussed rather than just the usuals going 'haha liebour is antijews' but I don't think it would happen on here with some of our posters.

Politics and religion are two very volotile topics on there own...... conjoined they are volcanic..... prejudice from both sides creeps in.... unfortunately

I'm not sure if what the state does in the name of any religion is what the religion advocates

Nor am I, but politicians say anything nowadays if they can get away with it.

Gammon isn't age specific and none of those are against forum rules.

Oh,that's alright then,what were you banned for previously then?

[mr.hobblesworth]

So good they quoted me twice...

I was banned for the same thing that Howjy was just doing, breaking forum rules. Care to stay on topic?

If you want a better understanding of anti-semitic what Panorama tomorrow night. Whether Labour are or aren’t might be up for debate but what is for definite is that they have handled the situation terribly.

Yes,fifteen expulsions over the last three years says a lot about how seriously they are treating this issue.

Sam Matthews' treatment was despicable.

Doesn't look as if May can find a replacement ambassador who doesn't think Trump an idiot.

Aup Fosse, just watching Trump saying Boris is the PM for the UK. What changed Twitter Trump's mind from those earlier days when he thought BoJo was a non-entity? 

[TheSage]

We've backed ourselves into a corner and if/when we leave the EU we'll need the USA to help us rebuild our economy. As a result, Trump can do anything he likes and Boris will roll over and let him tickle his tummy, to quote Micky Adams! I've never ever known a UK ambassador get treated in this manner by a US president and if we'd got any clout we'd tell him he's out of order. But, as I say, we've backed ourselves into a corner with this ridiculously expensive and increasingly farcical idea of a No Deal Brexit and now we need Trump more than he needs us. 

It's crazy. Sheer folly. All he's bothered about is putting America first and getting deals for the rednecks who elected him. We've taken our eye off the ball and it's embarrassing and pitiful to see.

Brexit is going to cost us untold billions and billions. Sterling has already gone south, along with inward investment. What did Branson say today? And all that money that Hammond was saving up to boost public services will now go on propping up a destabilised UK and fuel a bonfire of self destruction. It's economic madness, when our economy was doing fine inside the EU.

[Aussie Rules]

On top of which Nick, Trump's obsession to put America 1st is destabilising the once strong relationship between Australia & New Zealand with the USA & UK. If Trump has the UK by its political and economic balls that, in my opinion, does not auger well for the future stability in our region.

China will be loving it. 

[Jacko51]

So much for getting our sovereignty back.  Our ambassador is now effectively removed by Trump and the PM will be elected by 160,000 ageing middle class white blokes. 

We should be very proud.

[TheSage]

It's amazing when you think that someone like Trump could be elected by the good citizens of the US of A.

But, like here now, the voters seem to have an appetite for extremes and giving mainstream opinion a wide berth.

The ex head of MI6 I think it was said only the other day that there's a breakdown in the political system and both Tory contenders for the crown, along with JC, are not, in his experienced view, of the right calibre to lead the country.

We've had a few "interesting" times in recent political history, from the Profumo Affair, to the Pound in Your Pocket, from the three day week to the Winter of Discontent, from the miners' strike to the Poll Tax, from Black Wednesday to Iraq, and on and on and on, but I don't think I can ever recall such a polarisation in views and an increasing intolerance among voters, along with such abysmal leadership in Parliament. Fascinating for the media but shambolic and embarrassing in so many ways for me.
