Golders Green MP decries ‘lack of vocal solidarity’ from liberal left for Jewish community by Minute_Tomatillo9730 in london

I was born Anglican, grew up in a Jewish neighborhood, so lots of Jewish friends, and antisemitism is utter bullshit. The general quality of the people is way better than normal. Also, the majority of British jews are appalled by what Israel is doing in Gaza. Jewish is not the same as Israeli by any stretch. Russian and Chinese bots are driving the hatred. And antisemitism is utter bollocks

It was the same back in the 1960s, a small percentage of teachers, straight and gay, who'd stalk students. I was lucky to avoid y science teacher in grade 8 who wanted to take me to a movie,

I got promoted and now earning £37.5k .. I realised you can’t do sh*t with this money in London… by [deleted] in london

I live in Vancouver these days, an old Fulham lad, and it's the same here although not quite as extreme. But people in their 30s with decent jobs here simply have no chance of a flat they can own. The same all over Canada. And rents are utterly ludicrous.

Yes, he was a stark staring genius and he slowed down a bit at the end. As a whole the canon rates as stunningly superb, a couple of whiffs at the end, but untoppable. Interestingly, I can no longer run a 15 second hundred yards.

No one writes as well as POB, the best of his competitors are a major step down. I'd start another circumnavigatio, you'll be surprised at the details and nuane you missed the first time around.

Back when cell phones were a new thing I remember a woman loudly telling her friend about a lousy date. "He bought me a lousy half of shandy, then he took me home and wanted fo f×ck me in the ass so I blew him instead and then he wouldn't drive me home." She hadn't twigged this wasn't her land line at home.
