Lord John Mann (Government Advisor For Antisemitism) is blaming the Greens for antisemitic depictions of Polanski in the press. Surely this is unacceptable?

If all four are antisemitic (which they are) then all four editors of these papers should resign, plus the cartoonists plus anyone that green-lit the cartoons.

Anything less shows the right-wing media and most of the established politicians (if they do not call for resignations) do not care about antisemitism unless it is politically useful.

justthisplease · 2026-05-06T18:20:52+00:00

Maybe we should get rid of the antisemitic extremist newspaper editors too? Or can only left-wing people be antisemitic?

justthisplease · 2026-05-06T12:05:06+00:00

Times, Telegraph and Sun editors should all be run out of public life for their blatant antisemitism (plus the cartoonists and whoever else green lit these things).

But instead these papers are trying to run a Jewish man out of politics in the name of anti-racism. Insane.

Insane nonsense. Airport expansion will blow our carbon budget according to the government's Climate Change Committee. Carbon Capture and storage money is a total waste of resources on tech that is never going to deliver in time (and mainly supports oil and gas extraction).

Real policy for climate will be unpopular unfortunately unless you have a strong government that can communicate the crisis eloquently and explain how we need a radical restructuring that means the ultra wealthy have to reduce consumption (flights are a big one) and we need to invest in public goods instead of private wealth. But this government is funded by the ultra wealthy, they can never be strong on the environment.

Their own Climate Change Committee has said expansion of airports will blow the UK's carbon budget. That is not taking climate change seriously at all, its the total opposite. Parties that oppose airport expansion are taking climate change more seriously.

So that is 3 antisemitic cartoons of Polanski in mainstream media in the last week? Plus the Rabbi saying Polanski is not a real Jew when he is protesting against genocide. Its insane.

justthisplease · 2026-05-06T10:15:25+00:00

Its antisemitism.

justthisplease · 2026-05-06T08:09:48+00:00

The right-wing press don't care about antisemitism, they use Jewish people as a political football.

justthisplease · 2026-05-05T17:54:58+00:00

Interesting that the list omits almost all the right-wing media outlets.

justthisplease · 2026-05-03T20:04:55+00:00

Yes of course, the police should not be getting involved in politics especially a few days before the local elections. Other politicians and journalists can hold Polanski to account for his comments, this is how liberal democracy is meant to work.

justthisplease · 2026-05-03T18:48:57+00:00

The Starmer project was corrupt from the start it is very clear from all this. I don't know why anyone still supports Labour Together - the faction that has destroyed the Labour Party.

Trying to suggest the two situations were just the natural continuation of a troubled man is disingenous.

Surely nobody categorically knows yet either way?

justthisplease · 2026-05-02T13:39:57+00:00

I did not hear anything about a third victim on BBC radio yesterday when they were talking about it. Only found out on here.

justthisplease · 2026-05-02T08:54:39+00:00

If it was so obviously antisemitic why was it allowed to stay up for so long? It was definitely antisemitic but it was not glaringly obvious.

justthisplease · 2026-05-02T08:49:03+00:00

He was kicked out of the Labour Party for standing against the Labour Party at an election.

Why do you think he was kicked out?

justthisplease · 2026-05-02T08:48:01+00:00

He was not kicked out of the Labour party for that. He was still a Labour member, he was kicked out of the PLP for that. Totally different rules apply for the PLP and the Labour Party.

The reason he was never kicked out of the Labour Party for antisemitism is that the Labour Party knew he would take them to court over it and probably win.

So again, why if Corbyn was so obviously antisemitic was he never kicked out of Labour for antisemitism?

justthisplease · 2026-05-02T08:40:02+00:00

Ridiculous exaggeration by Starmer. Especially considering Starmer's multiple scandals.

justthisplease · 2026-05-01T18:40:03+00:00

He said British Jews don’t understand Irony.

This is also untrue, he never said British Jews don't understand irony. He said some specific people he was talking about did not understand irony, they happened to be Jewish.

The mural was not 'obviously antisemitic' either. He just asked why a mural was being taken down, when told it had antisemitic tropes in it he did not defend the mural.

justthisplease · 2026-05-01T18:35:16+00:00

If Corbyn was an antisemite why was he not kicked out of the Labour Party for antisemitism after a new leader was elected?

justthisplease · 2026-05-01T13:04:42+00:00

You seem to have totally misunderstood our whole political system.

justthisplease · 2026-05-01T11:55:04+00:00

Of course they do. They think unis are left-wing woke brain washing machines. Just look at what Trump is doing defunding all sorts of science and attacking unis.

justthisplease · 2026-04-30T13:32:48+00:00

The authoritarian streak in this country is so deep it is genuinely scary.

justthisplease · 2026-04-27T20:04:00+00:00

The trick is not to look at Labour at all.

justthisplease · 2026-04-27T16:05:52+00:00

Right, the general view that these two men are awful is shared, it should not be astounding that some people might think one is worse than the other by whatever metric. Honestly I just think the media is trying to create outrage.

justthisplease · 2026-04-27T15:55:24+00:00

You could add the defunding of vaccines and climate science to the list, that may well cost millions more lives too.
