Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi, has made a statement, much lauded by the media, concerning 'Anti-Semitism' in the Labour Party. It has amazed me this morning just how much publicity this has been given by the press. The BBC has given proof of the 'News and Current Affairs' departments pro- Boris stance by giving great coverage making this the main story of the day.
When you consider on Sunday the Roman Catholic Bishops sent out a letter encouraging people to vote for Labour, though not in so direct terms, as they ought to vote for those who 'support the poor' and not vote for those who treat the poor badly, and we all know who does that in the UK, yet little coverage has been given by the BBC, I wonder why?
Anti-Semitism may well be found in the Labour Party, it certainly was there in the Conservative Party until Margaret Thatcher and her Barnet constituency relied on the Jews in London's North West for votes and cash. Few Jews however make it to the top, Dominic Raab is not a good example.
I fear this has little to do with Brexit and much to do with Israel not wishing to see Corbyn, a man who criticises Israel's treatment of Palestinians, in power. They prefer the money grabbing Tories who will always bow the knee to them, whatever their personal opinions may be.
For some time it has become increasingly obvious that the supposed 'Leftie BBC' is in fact following the Conservative lead. Brexit opposition is put down and support encouraged in all programmes on TV and Radio. Those who disagree are silenced or leave.
Once the BBC was neutral in all things, though not totally obviously, it did have to help win a war, and the news broadcasts were respected as being more objective and factual than many other media outlets. This cannot now be reckoned as being the case. While some stories are independent and objective far too many reveal bias towards the Brexit line and Boris and his mob.
Maybe too many in the BBC are looking towards their future prospects or Knighthoods?
I have had a hard day.
Not only did I have to trek to Sainsburys in the drizzly rain but afterwards a spirit of stupidity entered me and I began to clean the oven!
This chap here speaks for me!
Now I realise it has been a wee while since I cleaned it last, long before Brexit I fancy, and therefore once I removed those metal grill things, with difficulty, and dumped them in the sink, I was able to take a closer look at the insides.
It was not pretty.
So the rest of the afternoon was taken up with spraying, scrubbing, soaking and clearing up the mess. This I can tell you is good exercise! No wonder women have such big muscles. Of course it would be easier for a woman, she would clean more often! Ha!
Now I must away and lie down while the aches creak...
