I appreciate your opinion SP and I have no issue with someone who does not agree with Israeli politics. To disagree with those politics does not make you anti Semitic.GG, the Labour Party candidate for Dundee West is a lad called Jim Malone. He got dragged into the anti-semitism tosh and it's a total fallacy.
Jim doesn't agree wirh fascistic zionist values and presents a strong case against occupation in the West Bank - that doesn't make him anti-semitic, it only makes him pro-Palestinian in the sense that an invading force are further trying to culturally evict the native population.
Jeremy Corbyn represents those same values. Beyond that alone, Jeremy Corbyn will regulate corporate interests. He will fund the Health Service, he will nationalise industries that are now profit-hungry behemoths and he will ensure that taxes are relative to income.
Every aspect of the media bias is based on self interest and preserving the money-making status quo.
I will vote tactically this election, as my preferred candidate has about as much chance of picking up the seat as the huns have of clearing their debt.
There are no mainstream political parties that accurately reflect my own political values, but prior to Blairism, the Labour Party were my weapon of choice. Scotland needs a strong Labour Party and the vast majority of the current Scottish Party are nothing more than mealy-mouthed bourgeoisie who think that being radical means drinking red wine with a nice chunk of seabass.
I urge you to have faith in Corbyn, GG..........as has been previously mentioned, the alternative is truly terrifying.
However, I don’t want a Prime Minister who thinks that artwork showing Dickensian style cartoon Jews , as money grabbing parasites, is perfectly OK.
Neither do I want a Prime Minister who stands on a platform with Hezbollah and Hamas representatives and calls these people his “friends”.
He and his cronies have created such a toxic environment that Jewish MPs feel they can no longer remain in the party. My own MP Margaret Hodge has had a very difficult time of it lately. And some university student unions have refused to allow a Jewish students union branch, whilst having no issue with an Arab branch.
In my honest opinion once again the Labour Party has elected a lame duck as leader and it’s another case of Ed Milliband. Most people in the party knew he would cost us the election and he did.
Once again we are unfortunately heading fir a conservative government and more years of agony.
I have already voted as I have a postal vote and against my better judgement I have voted labour. But I’ve mixed feelings and don’t want Corbyn in number 10
