Attempting to follow the eightfold path, regularly straying from it and then trying again. Criticism of the Israeli Government is not equivalent to antisemitism. Punch up not down. No DMs please.

Not very logical or scientific then, just bigoted.

Well I sincerely hope no one does that.

Then you'll be up for hastening the day by accepting refugees?

I'm not denying any such thing.
But as long as you're confident that you won't be misunderstood I'm sure it'll be fine.

I couldn't immediately find a reference to 20million.
How do you propose that we reach that number?

Do you have some logical, science based evidence that would give us a tipping point for this fragile island or are you just using that as a disguise for ignoring the plight of refugees?

You'd be surprised at the number of people who've been damaged by inaccurate and sloppy language.

The difference between being a pendant and being accurate is that I find it better to be clear about who the bad guys are so that innocent parties don't get shot in the drive by.

I'm not defending the leeches that are exploiting tenants and price gouging.
I'm saying that there are e.g. CICs and Community Benefit Societies that in legal terms are regarded as landlords and shouldn't be confused with the private rentier class.
Social housing providers are still landlords.

I own one house that I live in.

No, are you?

Not all organisations that fall into the general description of "landlord" are purely in it to profit.
So we need to differentiate between those maintaining a surplus for maintenance etc and those that are purely extractive.

What about social housing groups and other mutuals that supply ethical homes?

That pesky democracy eh?
What would you replace it with, some sort of exam based meritocracy?

I was ready to leave if he didn't win, I expected it to be a lot closer, but he walked it.

Show me one policy he and McDonnell put forward that would qualify as hard left.

Every country, the supposedly democratic or otherwise, is controlled through the threat or use of violence. Germany is no different in that regard.

You misunderstand, I am very much aware of the current govt stupidity and callousness, I have immediate family members who are directly affected.
I've also followed Corbyn's career for a long time, so I'm not sure why people are assuming the worst.

If I've understood the process properly the commitment will be membership driven.
I've no recollection of Corbyn being anything other than supportive of the LGBTQ+ community.
Do you have information to the contrary?

Have you ever heard of effective crime prevention programs?
I know using your imagination can be a bit of a stretch for some folk but cops tend to be on the scene after the fact, so looking to see what could be done upstream might just yield results.

My point is, if you want genocide to stop, don't help those who are committing genocide.
The evidence is available for those prepared to look and the govt has not denied it, which if they weren't doing it they would.
