One of the leaders of Momentum appears to have been criticising the use of the word Holocaust to define the death of 6 million Jews, claimed more Gypsies per head of population were killed; said she cannot find a definition of 'anti-semitic' she's happy with and criticised Holocaust Memorial Day for not recognising 'other Holocausts'.

I had a rather robust exchange with his Royal Highness Ian of Harvey on Facebook about the banking crisis. No matter how hard I tried I could never get him to understand, or at least admit he understood, that the banks who lent irresponsibly were lending to people who were borrowing irresponsibly, and that those people were also to blame.
Nope, it was the banks. People, provided they are working class, are always the victims. I expect Jeremy and Ian would get along famously.
Yes, I always blame myself if my customers decide not to pay their bills or ignore their debts
