I describe myself as too old to climb trees or chain myself to railings, but old enough to change my mind and do it anyway. I want to live in a fair and decent world. I value the contribution immigrants have made to Britain. Live and let live.
You will be telling me next that Mr Collins was Jewish.
I have, of course, removed my post.
www.charlesdickenspage.com/from-fagin-t... Jack London sent me this article after I likened Keir Starmer to Uriah Heep. I had no idea that Heep was considered, by some, to be Jewish . It was not in that context that I compared their characters. Not at all. Do read the article.

That was not my perception. I had no idea people imagined Uriah Heep was Jewish? It was actually what I observed when Starmer was in America, and at other times with Trump. At one point, I thought Trump was the going to pat him on the head, he was so creepy around him. Surely you saw that?
"He wrings his hands like Uriah Heep and slithers around everybody..."
There is a wide perception Heep was based on a popular conception of jews in Dicken's England

Do not use my dislike of Starmer’s politics to promote discord regarding religion. I don’t care if he is Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist or Druid. I do care that he is honest, transparent and brave enough to stand up to wrong.
Is that antisemitism about a man who is not even a Jew? Or just ignorance..

In my opinion, Trump is nothing. His opinion means nothing to me. He has no credibility. I believe him to be dishonest.

Public support for the BBC has been waning, but could Donald Trump’s $10bn lawsuit now turn the tide?

Support has been waning for the BBC because it is being run by the right. It forces Farage onto us every two minutes, and had shown awful bias in programmes like Question Time. As for Trump. Does anyone support him in the UK? If they do, I would have serious questions about their motives.

More innocent lives lost. It achieves nothing. It plants a seed of hatred that will last generations. That is all. We should all concentrate our energy on trying to stop the real perpetrators of disgusting crimes, not this.

Strong relationships like Canada and the UK’s are fundamental to economic growth and security.
Today, Keir Starmer and I met to discuss new opportunities in energy, technology, and critical minerals — as well as next steps toward a just and lasting peace for Ukraine and Europe.

I would much rather see this discussion, and cross my fingers for cooperation, than see Starmer acting like a toadie with Trump. Trump seems to patronise Starmer as thought he is mentoring our PM. Ugh!

I thought I wanted to read all these articles. I find, though, that I already agree with them. This man is not somebody I want in my politics. He supports Putin. In my view he is an obvious and thorough racist. I believe him to be less than honest. I recoil from him.
