Another good piece on the ‘Labour anti-semitism’ thing: https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2018-08-08/labour-crisis-israel-anti-semitism/.

I’ve blogged about Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson before: https://bernardjporter.com/2017/11/12/boris/. It really beggars belief to think that he could be regarded as a suitable candidate for Leader of the Conservative Party, let alone a future – perhaps the next – … Continue reading →

Here’s the case for the Corbyn anti-semitism farrago’s all being an Israeli plot. Make of it what you will. http://medialens.org/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=archive&task=view&mailid=500&key=521d744d358c2252091b6dea00b40a3b&subid=21698-85fe6f953c0798a17ba9ea557e6eb9b6&tmpl=component

Sweden has a general election next month. Anything could happen – any sort of coalition, that is. Present polling shows the middle-ground parties being squeezed by the ‘extremes’: the Vänster (roughly Corbynistas) on the Left, and the Sweden Democrats (Ukippy) … Continue reading →

But to be going on with, I think this is splendid: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/writingfromtheedge/2018/07/the-jewish-war-against-corbyn-risks-bringing-real-antisemitism-to-britain/. Just what I’ve been saying recently, but better. … Continue reading →

When Margaret Hodge sadly dies and goes to her Jewish heaven – will it be for Jews only? I don’t know, but that would tie in with Netanyahu’s present plans for Israel – I predict that God is going to … Continue reading →

Back in Sweden now, the long way round – Hull-Rotterdam ferry, then rail from there to Stockholm via Osnabruck, Hamburg, Copenhagen. It was tiring (with suitcases) but far more pleasant than by air. It gave us a super day in … Continue reading →

The row about anti-semitism in the Labour Party has broken out again: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/18/labour-party-to-take-action-against-mp-who-called-corbyn-a-racist; and with no more reason or judgment behind it than was displayed when it was last aired a few months ago – see my earlier posts.
