Anti-Semitism is such a weirdly discussed issue in Britain with this Count Dankula stuff being an example of that. Does he not even have a verified Twitter account? He does now but this was 6 years ago before he hit the big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there were Anti semitic tropes in the mural but I'd like someone to point them out ot me because I'm obviously too thick to know what they are. Edit: Just read that the bankers supposedly look jewish. Hmmmmm? Edited March 24, 2018 by Suspect Device 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The continual hyping of every perceived slur as “anti-Semitic” and “Islamaphobic” makes it more difficult to tackle genuine anti-Semitism and Islamaphobia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob the tank Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The first time I saw this image was on this thread. I see a bit of masonic/American bank note graphic, but I must be as thick as Suspect Device, because I don't see any anti semetic imagery either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I think it is fair to say that the noses are a bit larger than average, and it is not a massive stretch to ask why that might be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The "big noses, controlling the banks" thing is pretty much the quintessential anti-Semitic trope. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Nothing anti-Semitic about banging on about a cabal of Jewish bankers enslaving the world. Can’t think of any historical precedents for this sort of rhetoric. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Mind when the UK nats used to condemn the SNP as a “cult” that didn’t allow for disagreement with the leadership? Looks like Dear Leader Corbyn seems to have taken the mantle of Britain’s personality cult party. ^^^Multiple Typographical errors 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen JonesRichard LeonardNeil Findlay Patrick HarvieNew StatesmenAnd some centrists likeSturgeon, Yousaf, Mhairi black and a few other SG cabinet members. I follow a dozen or so academics who are all left leaning. I’ve only had twitter about 2 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Mhairi Black is surely left-wing. Sturgeon is left-leaning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 New Statesman bar Stephen Bush are further to the right than the SNP members listed I would say. It’s funny on Twitter because your best analysis comes from people who have names like “Stalin Smokes Weed” or “Leon Thotsky”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
