A JOO THREAD

A bit about me, for friends and foes alike. A few myths to dispel and conspiracies to quash. I'm sure much of this applies to many who will read this.

If I agree with your point, I might like or retweet it, whoever or whatever you are.

I've float-voted all my voting life, whether that's in local or general elections.

I've voted Labour, Tory, Liberal Democrat, Green, Monster Raving Loony. I've voted Labour more than any other Party.

My family are Labour through and through, for reasons and ties I'd never...

...divulge on here. And I mean proper Labour. Not this current bunch of charlatans.

The reason I've spread my votes over the years is because I've voted on policies and situations important to me at that time. My reasons. Personal reasons. Not because of a blind, tribal love...

...for one Party come rain or shine, or an adulation for an individual. I have no affiliation to any Party or any politician. They'll come and go, they don't deserve my adulation and my love is better given elsewhere.

You can call me a "f*****g Tory" on here because I lampoon...

...Corbynism or ridicule antisemites - especially antisemites who don't think they're antisemites (They're the most fun). Fill your boots with insults, it's like water off a duck's back to me. That's why I rarely engage with abusers and sledgers unless it's for personal pleasure.

You can't hurt me with you words because I don't care about you. You can't hurt me with your fists because you don't know me and if you did, I've got fists too, so have a good breakfast beforehand. I know what I am, what I believe, why I'm here. Being me is great, thanks.

You can accuse me of being a "f*****g racist". You can call me a "child killer". You can call me a "Right-Wing Apartheid-lover". Because it only makes you look ridiculous. Your ill-tempered rants are moments in time I enjoy for a brief while and then forget entirely.

I know exactly what Jeremy Corbyn is. I know exactly what his cronies are, what his hangers-on are, what his obsessive adulators are. You can try and convince me otherwise, be my guest.

I love my country. I don't love it's politicians or their decisions.

I love my hometown. I don't love its MP or their decisions. I love Israel. I don't love its politicians or their decisions. I admire its positives and fume at its failings. Israel holds a part of my connection to my Judaism - the time I've spent there, the great friends I've...

...grown with there, be they Jew, Christian, Muslim and everything in between. It helped make me me. You can keep your twisted translation of "Zionist", because I don't speak your language. My Judaism isn't a 3000 year old Judaism, a "don't eat milk and meat" Judaism, a "women...

...sit separately from men" Judaism. It's MY Judaism, today, right here at this very second. And what my Judaism is, is none of your business. But I'll fight to defend it. I'll fight you whether your rosette is red, blue, yellow, green. I don't discriminate and I won't apologise.

My sights are on Corbyn and his Labour now. That's what fills my timeline. So your "whataboutery" is empty to me. I make no apologies for this focus. If this time next year or in 10 years from now my focus needs to be on another Party or individual, fighting for what I believe...

...then so be it. I'm not a blind partisan. If your accusation against my determination to rid this country of "Corbynism" is because I'm "rich", you definitely don't know me. If it's because I'm "out of touch", you've never shared some of my experiences. If it's because...

...I don't know what it's like for the "less fortunate", you couldn't be further from truth. If such accusations make you feel better, good for you. But I'd hate to be you.

So block / mute, like / retweet or ignore.

But don't expect to change or silence me anytime soon.
