As for the Privileged English who want to get rid of the monarchy; it's not just your decision, but the collective decision of the Royal Realms of the Commonwealth - no.

Commonwealth countries can individually decide to leave the Commonwealth and cut their ties with the British Royal family so that Queen Elizabeth would no longer be their Queen; what they can't do is abolish the British Royal family.

at 95 , queen elizabeth is one sharp lady.

she lauded those people that helped break up a terrorist attack.

she didn’t take any crap from prince andrew and told him to take a hike.

I've never felt strongly one way or the other - I'm not an ardent royalist but I'm not an ardent republican either.

I'm kinda happy to just go along with it and accept that we have a royal family.

As Cofty points out, Queen Elizabeth does take her royal duties very seriously.

I quite like her, TBH.

I also like Harry and William. I'm not so keen on Charles (next in line). I wish William would become King on Queen Elizabeth's eventual death - it would be could if we could skip Charles altogether. XD

Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??

as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.

i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.

it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

This left-wing stuff Minimus is concerned about hasn't infested all uni subjects.

The traditional sciences are still relatively unscathed. I studied Biology and it wasn't a cess-pit of Communism, it didn't turn me into a socialist.

It's a big issue in the Arts, I believe.

What REALLY defines a person as being anti-Semitic?

by The Fall Guy in

does criticism or opposition to the israeli government's zionist agenda legitimately constitute someone being branded as an anti-semite?.

is it this definition which is actually being targetted at certain members of the labour party?

Do we know if Corbin has actually denied the Holocaust ? - No, he hasn't done that. Corbyn accepts that the Holocaust happened and that it was a bad thing.

But there are still the issues of his manifest double standards and his claim to be for peace.

I've already covered his double standards to a reasonable degree, so now it's worth talking about his claims that he is and always has been 'for peace'.

So, in the name of peace, Corbyn had a close association with Deir Yassin ... who, being Holocaust deniers, are anti-Semitic. Recall, too, that he attended a ceremony in Tunisia which celebrated and commemorated the lives of a couple of dead Palestinian terrorists. He also is on video calling Hamas and Hezbollah his 'friends' (but he's never called the Israeli government 'friends'). In fairness to Corbyn, he apparently now does regret using the term 'friends' when referring to Hamas and Hezbollah.

And now for a quick aside, but one that's relevant to the point I'm trying to make ...

Corbyn claims that his whole stance on Northern Ireland was 'for peace', too. My memory isn't 100% on this, but at the height of The Troubles, he apparently invited leaders either from Sinn Fein or the IRA to Parliament. Corbyn likes to revise history and claim he was neutral and for peace, but his view at the time was for a united Ireland. That's the same view as the IRA, incidentally. So that's his claim for neutrality out the window.

In that full interview I posted above, Andrew Neil put to him this hypothetical scenario:

Our Special Forces have got the next ISIS leader cornered and are awaiting instructions. Would you give the order to take him out?

And Corbyn couldn't say 'yes'.

Have you noticed a pattern emerging?

Well, I have - the pattern is that Corbyn sides with the UK's enemies. In short, he is either outright anti-UK or his idea for Britain is so radical, so batsh*t crazy that it goes completely against the vast majority of the UK electorate's wishes.

Here's an article that shows 6 excerpts from Corbyn's car-crash interview with Andrew Neil.

It's not only that he refuses time and time again to apologise for anti-Semites within his party, it's also his general lack of conviction to answer any and all of Andrew Neil's questions.

Were these just condemnations of the Zionist agenda , does anyone know ? - Corbyn, the Labour leader, has never said he hates Jews or that Jews are inferior, or whatever. So - on the surface at least - he doesn't seem to be anti-Semitic.

Where I take issue with him is his blatant double standards. He's been highly critical of Israel (the world's only Jewish state) throughout his long political career. During that time, he hasn't really criticised the barbaric regimes that surround Israel. It could be argued he's anti-Semitic on this basis; a kind of subtle anti-Semitism.

There was a ceremony in Tunisia for the dead Palestinian terrorists who shot the Israeli athletes in the 1970s Olympics (sorry, can't remember which year). Jeremy Corbyn was in attendance in Tunisia, laying a wreath ... er, in the name of 'peace', you understand.

Another issue is that Labour courts the British Muslim vote ... and there are some full-on anti-Semites among British Muslims.

Criticism of the Israeli government doesn't mean somebody is anti-Semitic.

However, if they hold Israel to higher standards than the surrounding countries, well then you start to wonder ...

i don't normally bother with the gutter press, but this was interesting.. what they didn't show was that the faces of the kids, probably due to their age.. i saw the picture before it was pixelled out.

interesting that the kids with the machettes looked like members of the religion of peace.. just sayin'.. interesting to see what low life scum the film was about.. good grief, can't the jobos be right and armageddon(tm) come?.

What is noteworthy is that the film being screened, Blue story, has been pulled from cinemas.

Sorry, but these violent, machete-wielding youths were already violent and machete-wielding.

Whether Blue Story was shown or even made makes no difference.

(I love horror films but I don't go around acting out scenes from my favourite horror films.)

It's also wrong that these gangstas get the film pulled - what about the rest of us who want to see it?
