This by @gsoh31 is excellent on Labour antisemitism and institutional racism. It is still pretty extraordinary to read it laid out in detail. I agree with pretty much all the conclusions publicpolicypast.blogspot.com/2018/09/is-lab…

I extracted parts of the Macpherson report in this thread. Worth reading - there are similarities, particularly the denialism in the leadership and the unwitting racism

Thatcher’s resignation
No wait it was Mandella’s release - that was earlier in the same year

No wait, it was the fall of the Berlin Wall

I’m not very good at this. It was stuff that happened in about 1989/90

I wasn’t very interested in politics
Wait, does Scott and Charlene’s wedding count?

Have dusted off my Nintendo Wii and playing through Super Mario Galaxy with my 8-year-old. Extreme fun and pleasure!
Such an amazingly imaginative and charming game and surprisingly good with two players
Watching a child play a classic Nintendo game for the first time is an amazing pleasure. These games are magical. Takes me back to playing Super Mario World on my friend's imported Super Famicom in 1991 #nerd

What a shame. I was heartened to see the Golders Green mosque, which got a lot of nasty criticism from within the Jewish community when it took over the building, was organising an outreach event commemorating Muslims who helped Jews during the Holocaust. Now cancelled.
Here is the story. Another example of the damaging hostility shown to Muslim-Jewish interfaith events by @RmSalih (see also his idiotic response to the @MitzvahDay chicken soup making event) journal.quilliaminternational.com/2019/01/04/the…
@RmSalih @MitzvahDay The event was a travelling exhibition by internationally renowned Holocaust museum Yad Vashem. Here’s what the chicken soup truther had to say

According to statistical tests, NYT Upshot House polling turned sharply more Republican in polls taken since October 1 and the trend seems to have continued with its Senate polling.
Here's day by day evidence of the GOP's good run in House polling.

Upshot polling data was split up into (estimated) days, a statistical model was run based on the first 10 days of polls, and actual responses were compared to the model. Upswing began around 10/3.
The Upshot data files don't have a date of interview, so they were split up evenly over the field dates. This isn't exact, but hopefully any errors are smoothed out.

Of course, this is still dependent on the races being polled - it could be these are strong GOP candidates.

Everything wrong with "ISLAM YAHUDI! - (Bobo Di Mana)" by MrKoKom.

5 factors that I would like to discuss:
1) Title of the video.
2) Transsexuality.
3) Concept of Bala
4) Islam in the perspective of Malays.
5) Promoting violence stigma towards Islam/Muslim.
1. "Islam Yahudi" what is the meaning behind this? I see this as #racism. Is he trying to portray Yahudi as in Jews (race) or Judaism (religion).

The stigma that Malaysian have towards Jewish people is unarguably full of hate and one sided perspective.
Know the difference between Zionism and Judaism! All Zionist are Jews, but not all Jews are Zionists. Minority of them certainly believe in Judaism, but not all of them would subscribe to the hard-line exclusivist vision of the Zionists.

Overt #racism is only the tip of the iceberg. Far more lies hidden, deeply ingrained, suppressed by conscience, a fear of criticism, even shame. Post 2016 referendum we saw how some of this suppression was lifted. #Brexit didn’t make people racist. The ballot box freed it. 1/9
Covert, ingrained #racism *is* a huge problem for society. It doesn’t help that we can’t see it, that we don’t allow people to have a voice. UKIP in 2015 had over 12% of the votes cast yet no representation in parliament. That can’t have pleased those who voted for them, 2/9
and yet the size of that vote caused #Cameron & the #Conservatives to run scared, promising us a referendum on the #EU which everyone thought would keep that voice quiet. Instead, it became the platform and enabler for the many years of suppresssion. 3/9

So I spent a few curious hours today looking for Labour, specifically Corbyn supporter's #antisemitism

Being in IT I pretty much know how to go about it

1/n
I used some Twitter searches to follow reports, then the web app and some API calls to make historic searching easier.
I also did a similar exercise via Facebook, Reddit

2/n
I also came at it the other way, finding obvious anti semitism and attempting to back trace it to Corbyn supporting accounts.
Finally I searched some obvious dark places of the internet where racism of all sorts is rife. I again attempted to find any link to Labour or Corbyn.

Okay, since we're debating anti-semitism again, let's have a quick run-through of what #Labour might have done, and what they have done.
Have they announced a specific speech by the Leader, or Deputy Leader, admitting mistakes in the past, and laying out a *specific* policy agenda to tackle the problem? No.
Have they admitted that, while of course one finds AS in lots of places, there is a *particular variant* of the curse on the Left, which is insidiously worming its way into the party's DNA? No.
