UK Labour readmits activist suspended for blaming slave trade on Jews
[IsraelTimes] Jackie Walker, reinstated after internal investigation, wrote that ‘chief financiers’ of human market were Jewish
The elections are over, so no need to continue pretending to care.

#1  which elections?
Posted by: lord garth || 05/30/2016 8:20 Comments || Top||

#2  The elections were May 5th, lord garth, preceded by a rolling sequence of over fifty Labour politicians being censured by the party for antisemitism. That nice Labour Pakistani-Brit was elected lord mayor of London.

#3  [V]ice-chair of Momentum, a hard-left group loyal to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn

Vice-chairs are hard to come by, so I've heard.

#4  I still don't understand.

Is Jackie Walker an elected official who was standing for office on May 5?
Posted by: lord garth || 05/30/2016 13:45 Comments || Top||

#5  Bye bye Elections or some such thing they have over the Atlantic. They can be forced by a rabbit hitting a trip-wire in any of the distance hustings. The Woolsack (like our own cabbage tree) might play a part along with the Dutchy of Lanplaster et. Al.

#6  "‘chief financiers’ of human market were Jewish"?

That's simply not true. Suriname and Curacao (Dutch colonies), and to a lesser degree also Barbados were the only places where Jews played a significant (but rather shortlived) role in the slave trade. Globally speaking the Jewish role was marginal.

The chief financiers of the 16th century were super rich German merchant families (Fugger and Welser), and they were not Jewish.

#7  You're spouting facts, #6 EC?

How dare you use facts? You'll confuse the idiots and spoil the narrative!

/sarc ;-)

#8  and although the Jewish role was marginal except for a few decades in a few place, the role of arab traders in the Slave trade was significant over centuries and in many parts of the Islamic world

Jackie wouldn't believe it though

#9  Of course the Arab traders...
AND (conveniently forgotten), black Africans themselves.
Village chiefs sold millions of their own people to those Arab traders.

#10  Tell it to the Maroons.

#11  Bye bye Elections or some such thing

A weary old Muslim of Sarum,
Whose wives were unwilling to share him,
Had almost forgotten...
His borough was rotten!
To London went half of his harem.

#12  A fruity foodie old tutor of Harrow,
Abusing his usual marrow,
Consulted his herba1:
"Er, gerbil with chervil
Or rectum of sparrow with yarrow?"

WaPo, LA Times, The Hill: Hillary’s denials aren’t working, but...

#2  Dental issues? I recommend a bread water only diet. Come see us again in 5 years.

#4  This is just chaos...wonderful chaos for the democrat party and their media lackies. Its like a gangster slash horror movie...the caporegime Hillary seems mortally wounded, but lingers, while the hapless white haired Bernie "the Chin" Sanders wanders around in his bathrobe talking to himself, and lurking in the shadows appears the Cheshire grin of ole Plugs Biden himself.

#5  More like Hillary's mental issues...
Posted by: CrazyFool || 05/30/2016 10:26 Comments || Top||

#6  A friend who is completely in thrall of Hillary said she can't understand why there is so much about the emails. After all, all she did was "send emails on her cell phone". Trust me, there are very many people with the same lack of understanding out there

#7  Your friend calling it a "cell phone" is a sure tell, deacon. Tell me, does she have an Obama phone or two?

#8  Let me guess, Deacon, is she an elderly white wymyn?
