Blimey, has Stephanie Flanders ever worked with anyone she didn't shag?

[Berni]

She had to leave the Beeb because an ex became her boss and now it turns out that - not content with letting Ed Balls up on her, she shagged little Ed Miliband as well.

If I were a more judgemental, ****-shaming type, I might use the phrase 'office bike'. Luckily, I'm not.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

and he'd dribble spit on you :-(

And there would be grunting.

And afterwards he'd cry because his willy broke and went all floppy again.

[Berni]

Imagine how weird his cum-face must be. :-(

Mind you, shagging Ed 'Bumface' Balls can't be a bed of roses, either.

Really working hard to shed that quality paper tag

[Berni]

to be.

However, the fact that (Paxman aside) the Newsnight team have (literally and figuratively) been in bed with the Labour Party for years is hardly a revelation, is it? Kirsty Wark's bessie mates with half the Scottish Labour party (if such a thing still exists), the economics correspondent is a former adviser to Harriet Harman, Paul Mason's a f**king Marxist and the editor's a former Guardian executive.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

During the banking crisis Newsnight spent night after night after night declaring 'the end of capitalism'. They kept having an economist on who kept saying, 'The worldwide banking system is going to break down in the next few days and THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.'

They licked their lips and rubbed their hands with glee... but then Evil Capitalism recovered from its blip and went about the business of shrinking world poverty at a rate unprecedented in history.

You've got to feel sorry for the poor *******s.

[Classic Jorge]

That said, the campaign isn't exactly going swimmingly at the moment for the blue side

[Classic Jorge]

And it was also why it needed good, old fashioned evil, nasty big government intervention to sort the whole mess out.

[Berni]

socialist world would suddenly emerge from the ashes.

What these people don't seem to realise is that inertia is the most powerful force in the universe. If people are generally happy with the status quo (which they are with capitalism in the west), you won't change things with anything short of a nuclear bomb. The idea that things will change fundamentally because a bunch of people round a dining table in Islington think they should is so delusional as to be f**king hilarious.

[Brentwood]

Is he trying to downplay his jewishness for some reason?

Owen Jones was up in arms because somewon called him a backstabber, and that's anyti semitic apparently

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

We got a blip, during which the state bought a stake in some banks.

As far as I could see, life carried on in much the same way. The state has got some of its money back and will get the rest in due course, and capitalism, far from being broken, continued to spread its tentacles further and further into the developing world, bringing education, healthcare and prosperity to millions previously denied these luxuries.

The poor buggers in Venezuela seem to have missed out, mind you.

[Berni]

Judge me in May, as AW would say.

actually way down the list of most voter-unfriendly things about him.

So wd Ed on being so useless nobody even has to resort to anti-semitism.

deliberate attempt to summon up that (to the general public at least) rather obscure historical reference, is it?

Utter piffle. Grow up.

Jew is of no relevance to that.

[Peter]

Relates to the anti semitic propoganda of the most doggedly anti semitic political movement in history is a little tenuous.

Not that i am saying this is anti semitic of course.

[Berni]

It's a phrase in common parlance and accurately describes what Miliband did to his brother.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Peter]

You asked for a link and you got one. Dont get all defensive because you didnt think of it.

Very immature, b. :hehe:

[Peter]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

it that anyone else did, do you think?

In other words, if it was an anti-semitic dog whistle, it was a pretty f**king poor one, wasn't it?

Or maybe it just wasn't anti-semitic at all?

[Classic Jorge]

The wrong won one, mind. But there you go.

There wasn't some sort of Granita moment or anything.

[Peter]

Without wishing to be pedantic he clearly didnt stab his brother in the back did he? No, he didnt.

Voters know that you are being anti semitic and borrowing phrases from nazi propoganda. That is a real vote winner isnt it.b

If snything the tenuous link is the crucial aspect pf the slur.

We could do this all day, b.....

It would be a lot more fun wouldnt it?

Though I am only doing organically grown, ethically sourced drugs and I'm also very conscious of their drug miles.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You know that when you buy shares they have a value, don't you? And that you are likely to make a profit? You might, of course, break even or even make a loss, but the shares do have a value.

'It is likely that a substantial proportion of these schemes and investments will be with us for some time and the eventual profit or loss to the taxpayer will not be known until all the support is removed, the loans repaid and the shares sold. How much the taxpayer will receive will depend on a number of different factors'

[Berni]

...you think that by making an 'anti-semitic' slur that almost nobody would recognise as being in any way linked to the anti-semitic slur you say it's linked to, that actually makes it a more effective anti-semitic slur?

:hehe: Well done. I think you may actually have broken your brain in an attempt to justify your absurd claim. :clap:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

This is no laughing matter. An increase of 20 pounds in 1 year.

I may well write to my MP.

Is it just that the standard unit of coke is so small to defy expression as a fraction of an ounce?

[Peter]

But none of the old school wife-beater.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I would be happy to do a comparison test with you at your convenience peter.

[Berni]

Mind you, I'm not really a lager person.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Perhaps marijuana came originally from the Empire and an imperial (Ha!) culture.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Now THAT is the mark of a man.

[Berni]

That means 38k on my house price AND a decent fish counter :cloud9:

[Classic Jorge]

Or the fact that the bonuses paid out to what are essentially civil servants now have continued to rise. We should also probably also ignore the fact that the UK's credit rating was downgraded, largely due to the additional exposure from the creation of bonds and the millions of people who've been forced into hardship in an attempt to balance the books too.

Ignoring all of those things, you're right, the whole thing was a roaring success.

Capitalism didn't break, the banks didn't have to beg for help from the very institutions they had been demonising and we didn't end up bailing anybody out for over a trillion.

[Berni]

[Peter]

An anti semitic slur you dont want to make it one that is obviously anti semitic. 'you cant vote for that c**t, he is f**king jewish' is obviously problemstic.

I honestly dont think that is a difficult concept to grasp. Of course, the insult is not designed to be anti semitic, it is designed to show that miliband has no decency or loyalty and would literally stab his own brother in the back. Not literally of course.

If there is a nice little anti semitic undertone there then all the better. He amd his c**ty little friends will get it,vso will a very few select voters... Just not you, apparently :-)

The notion that he would want people to see that he is making an anti semitic remark is too ridiculous for words, thus your original point didnt make sense.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

small loss. Your talk of this trillion, as if thrown away, is mendacious.

[Classic Jorge]

Will the Dutchy of Cornwall be doing gram wraps?

[Peter]

[Berni]

because of your own political bias, then?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

That would disprove my theory, I suppose.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Last week he refused to supply becvause the product was not up to scratch.

Eightball etc...... The only difference is the greater weight of one, as you say.

Both are generally weighed by the gram.

Just not the famous one :-)

I will get a little half for you to try snyway. It is remarksbly good. Sometimes.....

[Classic Jorge]

It needed doing, it's just sad we don't have the same laissez faire approach to sorting out societal crises.

My main beef was that we neglected to insist on a controlling interest in those lenders who wouldve been excellent vehicles for lending to businesses at the point where the credit market was at its most contracted. That was a missed opportunity to kickstart a recovery rather than drag our fiscal arses along the bottom for the last seven years before this latest, and still pretty weak, dead cat bounce.

[Classic Jorge]

[Peter]

But i reject the notion that it has anything to do with political bias.

I just thought it was funny :-)

And i did say, twice, that i didnt actually believe it.

Sativa from east india, himalayas etc etc and Sativa, the more robust strain, came from Afghanistan/Pakistan.

Obviously it was then taken all over the world by our efficient imperial drug trafficking network.

[barrybueno]

[Peter]

An apparently baseless, silly joke becoming racist because the door was to the office of a german colleague.

Ultimately i am more concerned with your belief that being jewish is still a handicap in an election.

[Classic Jorge]

It's basically like Mars bars getting smaller

[Peter]

[Berni]

Why get upset about the merest suggestion of anti-semitism if you don't feel that your candidate's jewishness is a weakpoint?

The posters about Howard and Letwin further up this thread make it fairly clear that there's political advantage to be gained by anti-semitism.
