  1. £5 million fund. No government response? ...Set the narrative early Guardian and keep repeating it.

  2. Let's hope we don't find any Labour run councils have tower blocks with the same cladding as Grenfell Tower, eh? Because that would make Labour evil and uncaring, like the tories. But with the added bonus of being massive fuckin hypocrites!

  3. Actually, it is no surprise that we know more about Henry VIII and his wives than we do the Peterloo massacre. The issue with Henry's martial problems effected many more millions of people then and since than the incident in Peterloo. The separation of England from Rome is a huge historical event. And not just some trivial bit of soap opera. The same is true of Churchill. In fact, the list that is read out ''...Winston Churchill, the monarchy, empire, received pronunciation, aristocracy, whiteness'' (the music is suddenly cut dead at the word 'whiteness', as if a terrible cuss word has abruptly silenced the room) says more about Akala and his own bias and prejudice than it does British values. Especially the last bit. As does the follow up list of things more 'interesting' 'subversive' and 'counter-cultural'. Akala cannot lay claim to his own list of values. The suffragette movement is British history. And William Cuffay was more than just his skin colour. So he is not someone that Akala can own by default. Moreover, he was of mixed race. Therefore he is as much black as he is white (music abruptly stops). Akala and the Guardian has simply set up a straw man argument. Then slipped in a bit of politics as it knocked it down. Pretty fuckin crude stuff tbh.

  4. Well, if there are ISIS terror cells and sharia law in Dearborn, we can trust the Guardian to look the other way.

  5. This is like watching an Alan Partridge documentary

  6. Like the Guardian would know anything about the working class!

  7. The problem is political ideology riding on the back of mutually beneficial trade. To the point where the question is asked, do we really want this? And the answer would appear to be no. Which isn't surprising. Because no one in the UK ever voted to be governed from Brussels. Even the majority of remainers only voted to remain, not because they agree with the political project that is the EU, but because they have been told that the cost of leaving is too high. And that's not a sound basis for continued membership of the European project. True, nobody on the leave side can promise what the future holds. But then neither could anyone on the remain side had the UK voted to stay. After all, the EU was originally sold as a common market. There was no talk of political union back in the 70s.

  8. Less of an emotional support, more of a way to gain attention
    35
  9. Think you'll find Theresa May gets considerably more abuse than Diane Abbot
    34
  10. I really don't think its healthy to be reading any comments on any guardian videos tbh (unless they're mine, obviously)

  11. Assad has failed his people. Islam has failed its people. Neither offer anything of worth. Funnily enough, these people come to the west at the very time that the liberal left wing elite have given up on western values. Perhaps we could do a swop?
    31
  12. The beauty of controlling your own immigration policy, is that if you need more workers of a particular type, you can adjust the rules accordingly.
    30
  13. People basically recognise the importance of being able to control those who govern over them. Political union was not what the UK voted for in 1973. And in order to make their case for continued EU membership, those who advocated remaining must denigrate and belittle the UK to a point where it no longer seems possible to be an independent sovereign nation. That will never play well with the majority.

  14. Maybe if Russia didn't keep invading it's neighbours and annexing their territory little Latvia wouldn't feel the need to call in NATO.
    25
  15. That kid so loves it really. He so wants to be a victim of 'Islamophobic' oppression. But sadly, interaction with Islam is way more likely to lead you towards radicalisation than being asked a few questions by a couple of overworked policemen. It takes years of brainwashing and propaganda to create a jihadist. And Islamist terrorism is a worldwide problem.

  16. The problem is that Owen Jones can't really point the finger at others any more. He supports a labour leadership that is undeniably anti-Semitic. That has a history of supporting people far, far worse than Tommy Robinson and his cave people followers. Although a thug, Tommy Robinson has never supported terrorists. The labour party has. You cannot talk about wanting to defeat hatred and prejudice, while supporting it.
    24
  17. Russians are still in love with Stalin. It's like they never learn!
    23
  18. Turkeys voting for Christmas. After all, they'll be the ones having to pay back the VAST debt that Commissar Corbyn wants to add to our already VAST debt.
    22
  19. A week ago Owen Jones was warning us about Tommy Robinson. Now he's sitting down with the political wing of the IRA. A sectarian terrorist group. Far, far worse than anything on the far right. He sits there nodding like a child totally out of his depth, while she lectures him on the 'hard won peace process'. As if her party were champions of peace, rather than violent murderers who simply stopped bombing people. And it's not a 'tory Brexit'. The country voted to leave the EU. Jeremy Corbyn (himself a supporter of the IRA ) promised to respect the will of the people. Insinuating that Corbyn's mates might start exploding bombs again if the UK as a whole goes ahead with Brexit is a non-argument. Because the UK is a democracy. It's policies are not dictated by terrorists.

  20. Is this that twat who's a fan of Castro?
    21
  21. The remain campaign only ever concentrated on the economic side of Brexit (which is not an exact science). They never touched on the issue of EU political union (the whole reason for Brexit), because they knew political union was unpopular. They then ended up believing their own hype - that leaving the EU was a far right racist endeavour. Meaning that they were arguing against a position that most leave voters didn't hold. Worse still, their whole campaign ended up as basically 'No We Can't!' - which was the opposite of Obama's winning campaign slogan.

  22. You get the feeling that if they weren't an ethnic minority they'd have very little else to talk about.

  23. NATO would wipe the floor with them.

  24. During the Russian occupation, in order to stamp out Latvian cultural identity Latvians were the victims of large scale ethnic cleansing. Whole populations were simply deported en mass to gulag concentration camps in Siberia never to be seen again. Today, those Russian's who were brought into Latvia following occupation are given full citizenship if they agree to carry out the Latvian language and culture citizenship test. Latvia is quite within its rights to insist that schools teach in Latvian. Just like any other country has a right to insist their state schools teach in their national languages. By expecting Latvia to be any different, you simply play along with Putin's game. And that is to deny the right for Latvia to exist as an independent nation and undermine its national sovereignty.

  25. Actually, yes you most certainly would. In Saudi Arabia they're called the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. Or the virtue police. And up until recently they had the power of arrest. They carry out vital duties such as policing the mixing of male and female and making sure women are hidden away under blankets (burka).

  26. Well done. You saw some of North Korea from the other side of the bars. Safe in the knowledge you don't have to live there.

  27. Or fascism could come in the form of an intolerant and extremist religious ideology. One that is able to carry out extreme acts of barbarity. And can censor the news by using intimidation and threats of violence.
    18
  28. I think the majority of people have sympathy with genuine refugees. And are supportive of helping where we can. But if you allow the system to be abused you will lose that support.
    17
  29. Was the burning to the ground of the Calais jungle an entirely natural event? Or was it set on fire by the French police? Is that the continental way of clearing out large groups of people? Who knows? The Guardian wasn't interested in asking awkward questions. Perhaps because it knew it wouldn't like the answer.

  30. Where are all the Ukrainian asylum seekers? Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes from Russian aggression. But do we ever hear about them? How many Ukrainian refugees has the UK taken in? Where is the demand from Europe to give these people a refuge? Why is there no demand to help on their behalf?

  31. While standing with the family of the victims of the Birmingham pub bombings, she supports an IRA sympathiser.

  32. Non-lobbyists lobbying the non-globalist globalist  XD

  33. After decades of Russian occupation, and the attempted eradication of Latvian national identity by Moscow, its understandable that the Latvians wish to safeguard their independence. Russian speakers who arrived in Latvia after the Russian invasion are given citizenship if they are prepared to carry out the Latvian language and culture citizenship test. Just like every other non-Latvian living in Latvia.

  34. Bernie Saunders' campaign grew from nothing. Into something. Meanwhile, Corbyn's labour party grew from something. Into nothing.
    15
  35. This was the same guy that despite his promises couldn't even save Greece
    15
  36. The EU simply took UK taxpayer money, then handed slightly more than half of it back again to the UK. And, no, the EU wasn't 'the only organisation trying to help'. That's just a lie.
    15
  37. He calls her out for sharing a platform with Nigel Farage, while the type of people the present labour leadership hangs out with makes the BNP look like moderates!
    15
  38. No he didn't. That was never in any agreement. Besides, the Russians were in no position to makes demands. Their occupation of Europe was at an end. They should've fucked right off and been glad Europe left it at that.
    14
  39. And Russia has a habit of invading its neighbours.

  40. "His policies lifted millions out of abject poverty and misery. He represented a break from years of corrupt regimes with often dire human rights records. His achievements were won in the face of an attempted military coup, an aggressively hostile media, and bitter foreign critics." -Owen Jones pays tribute to Hugo Chávez and the socialist economic miracle he brought about in Venezuela [Independent 6 March 2013] Before being elected president, Hugo Chávez first attempted to take power by military coup in 1992. In 2008, Human Rights Watch accused Chávez and his administration of engaging in discrimination on political grounds, eroding the independence of the judiciary, and of engaging in ''policies that have undercut journalists' freedom of expression, workers' freedom of association, and civil society's ability to promote human rights in Venezuela''. Chávez kicked them out of the country. Despite being oil rich, the disastrous policies of the socialist government (praised by both Owen Jones and Jeremy Corbyn) have led to desperate food shortages, a crises in health care, and a serious shortage of other basic supplies. This has led to food riots on the streets, and what is known as the “Maduro Diet”. The Venezuelan health minister, Anotnieta Caporale, was recently sacked because she released a report on the 30% increase in infant mortality and the staggering 65% rise in women dying in childbirth since the last time the government compiled data.  So, having lied about the Chávez regimes' human rights record, praised the complete destruction of the Venezuelan economy, ignored the arrest of opposition leaders, and helped whitewash the Chávez governments' crackdown on opposition media, Owen Jones would now very much like you to vote for another 'anti-imperialist' socialist fuckwit. So you too can benefit from a complete breakdown in society just like our comrades in Venezuela.

  42. The NSPCC has very strict rules on encouraging vulnerable children to personally contact those who work alongside the charity. These are designed to protect children. Bergdorf broke these rules. And as the NSPCC is not an organisation created to further Bergdorf's career, but rather a charity to protect children, Munroe Bergdorf was dropped.

  43. Interestingly, the International Red Cross predicted tens of thousands of Afghans would flee the country following US and western intervention. In the event, tens of thousands of Afghans actually returned home once the Taliban were out of power. For Afghanistan to have any future, it must continue the war against the Taliban. And win. Because freedom from fascism isn't just a right to be enjoyed by westerners.

  44. Perhaps not everyone in Uxbridge and South Ruislip is a supporter of Boris Johnson, but would they really prefer to be the latest battleground in the Arab-Israeli conflict? Why is it that Labour talk so much about 'anti-racism', but attract so many racists? He's not anti-racist, he is a racist. And apparently he's the best the Labour party can do.

  45. Of course, knife crime is the fault of empire. It has to be, because the reality is just too painful to admit.
    14
  46. Hahaha You people have become a parody of yourselves! XD

  47. There was no genocide in Ukraine or Georgia. That is simply kremlin lies to excuse Putin's support for terrorism and war against Russia's neighbours.  
    13
  48. Perhaps stop supporting anti-Semitism, Owen? Or is some racism acceptable?

  49. Let's talk about Venomous Femininity

  50. The far right in the UK are a joke. Always have been. I'm way more concerned about the rise of the far left. With populists like George Galloway, Ken Livingstone, and Jeremy Corbyn. They play identity politics to the extreme. Have made alliances with Islamist extremists. Normalised anti-Semitism. And aren't afraid to use violence and intimidation when it suits their cause. Unlike the far left, its easy to see the far right for what it is. Afraid and resentful, they are too unimaginative to be deceitful. However, the far left are very different. They are much more subtle about how they go about things. As they have been throughout history. For example, the 'Stop the War Coalition' was basically a front for the Socialists Worker's Party. Members of its leadership are fanatically pro the Iranian regime. And anti-NATO. They also form other front organisations with 'anti-fascist' sounding names in order to appear like the good guys. As well as being anti-NATO, they are anti the US, pro-Putin,  anti-EU, supporters and apologists for the worst of tyrants, and as far back as the second world war (when, for example, the British Communist Party actively worked against the war effort-until soviet Russia was invaded) have always made common cause with the UK's enemies. There is actually little difference between the far left and the far right when it comes to politics. There never has been. They are both isolationist. Both passive when it comes to defending the interests of the UK. Both anti 'globalisation' (and, of course, anti TTIP). Both ant-Semitic. Both sympathetic to the UK's enemies (whether they be Islamists, the IRA, the ayatollahs, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Castro, or Vladimir Putin). Both contemptuous of liberal democracy. And both vindictive, hateful, and intolerant of anyone who disagrees. Jeremy Corbyn is now the leader of the Labour Party. He is all those things. And worse.
