I genuinely feel sorry for Stephen Bush having to work with the likes of Helen Lewis on a daily basis. He doesn't deserve that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chucked it as a regular listen a while ago because of Lewis, although checked out the odd episode for Bush's input. Anoosh Chakelian appears to have replaced Lewis in the couple of episodes I have listened to lately, so I might be able to go back to being a regular now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might give it a go as my politics podcasts are overwhelmingly American (Chapo, Jacobin, Rev Left etc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) The USA and several EU countries (so far Germany, France, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia) appear to be launching a coordinated expulsion of Russian diplomats. 60 from the US alone. Edit: 14 EU states expelling diplomats, apparently. Quite the coup for the British government, I’d have thought.

Granny Danger Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I see Corbyn is being attacked today by Jewish groups once again promoting the pernicious lie that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are effectively the same thing. If we are going to fight and expose anti-Semitism in our society this sort of continually repeated pro-Israeli nonsense does not help at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably you meant "attacked today by zionist groups" But it's an easy mistake to make 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with anti-Zionism, it's to do with Corbyn being in Facebook groups with multiple anti-Semites and giving his support of an anti-Semitic mural. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 There’s always been that undercurrent of dodgy Islamophobia and anti-Semitism. It would be good if we could have a popular left wing movement that didn’t have dodgy hingers on like Ken Livingstone or the SWP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Giving Corbyn the benefit of the doubt here, I reckon if he'd given the mural more than a cursory glance he'd have seen it's the wrong side of the anti Semitism/Zionism line and not had to backtrack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
