1/ PMJC is certainly the forum for hardliners at present.
2/ 'They (Israel)' says Alma referring to the GCSE examining boards.
3/ Does anyone else feel nervous? Is it just me being a scaredy cat?
Oh no! Sandy's been thinking things over again.
'The guy [who] looks barely human' & makes Sandy feel physically ill should be recognizable to @antisemitism & other friends for his inspirational Chanukah message, 2019. I too feel physically ill, when I read the comments of Sandy & her comrades in Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn.
