Most enlightening and encouraging. Not only are we right, but we are winning. That is why we must fight so hard. Caveat over freedom of speech important in our struggle.
Are we allowed to think for ourselves or will the Tories outlaw that too? How do you find out where something if produced if it just says ‘made in Israel’? I wouldn’t knowingly buy something for occupied territories and try to buy British goods to support our local industries and shops. Does anyone publish a list of where NOT to buy from?
Like most things that Winstanley writes, this article is full of innuendos, half-truths and downright deceit. If JVL truly supports Labour being a viable alternative to the Tories and it’s not just a hate-Israel group of Jews, then those like Winstanley who have been (rightly) suspended from the party for anti-semitism, are hardly the right spokesmen to prosecute the case. In Israel, “apartheid and white supremacy”? .. give this nonsense a rest Asa.
Jaye, your contribution is full of generalised assertion, but very evidently free of actual fact or argument.
Can you provide us with the ‘innuendos, half truths and outright deceit’ and then readers will be able to assess if it is appropriate for usbto givevany weight to your argument
