Thankfully
I’ve cooled down a good bit after yesterday’s rant. That doesn’t mean that I
have forgotten or forgiven those involved in the animal skin trade. It remains
and issue that needs to be dealt with and properly policed.
The new
verdict on the Liverpool 96 has been seen as a breath of fresh air blowing through
the lives of all the families who lost their loved ones in the incident. Sadly,
I have little faith in anyone being held to account over it. South Yorkshire
Police are in firing line again, ye again. It’s the same force that failed oh
so many children caught up in the sex abuse ring in the town of Rotherham. Individually
they are both serious problems for any one Police Force, but to part of both
issues that have been proved to be so poorly policed and badly managed. How can
anyone have any confidence in South Yorkshire really being an efficient
service? I’m more than a little pleased we don’t live there.
Middle
Eastern violence continues. In Israel loan Muslims are attacking and stabbing
Israel’s without reason, or at least that is what it looks like on the surface.
Since the 1967 war which that Israel won, settlers have been moving deeper into
Palestinian areas and building settlements on land owned by the Palestinians.
Is it any wonder they might react to that? Of course not!
The big
thing with this one is that if you speak out against Israel, you risk being
called anti-Semitic. Yes, there are many people who are clearly anti-Semitic,
but just because someone disagrees with Israel on any issue doesn’t tar them
with hatred brush. It is legitimate the critical comments about what Israel, or
individual Israelis do and say, is not showing a hatred of the nation or the
people of that nation. I believe it is right to make comments about the clearly
illegal occupation of Palestinian land and about how the Palestinian people as
a whole are being treated by Israel. I find difficult to explain what Israel is
doing to its neighbours. After centuries of being persecuted by every nation
and the attempt of full genocide of Jews in WW2, should be more tolerant of minorities
and should treat them as they themselves wanted to be treated.
Now there
is a huge row within the Labour party about anti-Semitics, which has seen two
Labour muppets being suspended from the party over the issue. As a life time supporter
of Labour, I find this to be very unsettling personally, but it’s doing nothing
to help the party win whatever argument they are making. The last time the
party had such an extreme left-winger was I believe Michael Foot, and he just
about destroyed the party because of his views. That time he turned up for the
annual Service of Reembrace waring a donkey jacket didn’t help him any either.
The
general election of 1979 which lead to Mad Maggie becoming prime muppet, was
the start of a long period of wasteland living for Labour muppets. They just
were not taken serious. MM hated Neil Kinnock and never refused to put him
down. The sudden death of John Smith rocked just about everyone, and it ultimately
lead to Terrible Tony taking control of Labour and his fresher out look of the role
of Labour helped him win when John Major gave it up. Where will go next I
wonder … … …
