Deep state censorship is hardly something to celebrate.

It was probably his charming habit of posting image of mutilated bodies into people's replies.

Was there a motivation for that?

They were Jewish. He'd post pictures of dead Palestinians.

He's a fucking lunatic

Wait, so he's an anti Israel trump supporter? How does that work?

They were Jewish. He'd post pictures of dead Palestinians.

Here is a summary of my position on Brexit as we approach the end game:

I voted to remain, but the people voted to leave in 2016. My constituency voted to leave by a margin of 55/45^*
We said we would honour the outcome of the referendum, and so we must
With me this is an article of faith and non-negotiable. We have to honour the vote to leave the EU
It is for Parliament to decide how we leave
I want us to honour the 2016 vote without crashing the economy, which is why I am backing the PM’s deal
Under the deal, we leave the EU, Customs Union, Single Market, CFP and CAP, all by the end of 2020, or if we have to enter it the further backstop arrangement. I am perfectly happy with the way in which the backstop can be brought to an end. It provides time for businesses to adjust and gives us the right to enter our own trade deals. All perfectly sensible
I am relaxed about the nature of the future trading relationship so long as it is as frictionless as possible
I do not support a second referendum, as this would not help to finally resolve this matter, and would prolong the deep division in our country.
I do not want us to leave without a deal because of the possible disruption to the local and national economy.
I will therefore support the deal and strongly back the PM in her efforts to deliver on the wishes of the British people
Opinion in my constituency remains deeply divided, but I am elected to exercise my own judgement, which I am doing.

This particular by-election, in which the whole House was the electorate, was one of 15 established under the 1999 Act to enable those hereditary Peers who were Deputy Speakers at the time to remain in the House, but after 20 years many of the original 15 are no longer Deputy Speakers, and the person who wins the by-election is not expected to become a Deputy Speaker so, to summarise, in these Deputy Speaker by-elections the departing Member does not have to be a Deputy Speaker and the person replacing him does not have to be a Deputy Speaker either. You know it makes sense.

Pretty sure Farage is implicated in the indictment, too.

Oxfordshire looking to snip snip.

But a decent approach would surely be for Berger’s party members – and indeed all of us – to show solidarity against Berger’s antisemitic harassment (which we should do whether Berger is in Labour ot not), and for Berger to commit to not join a new party and thereby attempt to destroy her own party. Is that not reasonable?

That last paragraph sits really uncomfortably with me.

My Lords, I am sure that the Minister will be aware that her colleague Jo Johnson wrote a circular letter in the autumn to local authorities, praying in aid—about penalties for persons committing nuisances while riding on footpaths—that people shall not,

“tether any horse, ass, mule, swine, or cattle, on any highway, so as to suffer or permit the tethered animal to be thereon”.

This came from the Highway Act 1835. Is it not about time this legislation was updated?

It is always pleasing to see a happy Member. The hon. Member for Bishop Auckland (Helen Goodman) is convulsed with mirth. She is in a state of almost uncontrollable hysteria. Well, I hope she is very happy. I do not know what it is that has amused her, but it is good to know that she is a happy spirit in the Chamber.

A similarly tortured attempt at difference-splitting was provided by freelance Labour press officer Owen Jones in the Guardian. After defending the no-confidence move in principle, Jones concluded with the same quid-pro-quo as McDonnell: "A decent approach would surely be for Berger's party members - and indeed all of us – to show solidarity against Berger's anti-semitic harassment (which we should do whether Berger is in Labour or not), and for Berger to commit to not join a new party and thereby attempt to destroy her own party. Is that not reasonable?"

This implied exchange – we'll defend you against racist attacks if you make a declaration of loyalty – ought to strike any self-respecting Labour supporter as obscene. But the tolerance for obscenity among Labour supporters is a source of constant wonder.

Whereas other children played cricket, as you did, Mr Deputy Speaker, or played mummies and daddies or shops, my sisters and I used to play “holding a meeting”, and it was invariably a charity meeting.

So what's happening at 8 then?

I think she should be allowed back, and taken good care of. It's the compassionate and caring thing to do. People make terrible errors of judgement at the age of fifteen, and it'd be humanely wrong to not make sure things are ok for her on her return.

I'm not sure if she should come back or not, but her baby should be allowed to live here, so that pretty much seals it for me.

She wants to come back to have her baby.

Maybe I'm being overly harsh but compared to what the people in Syria suffered at the hands of these Holy fucking cunts I can't muster much sympathy for anyone who chose to ally themselves with that particular cause. She went over there to help destroy an entire country and support mass murder. And she still thinks it was right. She should be brought back to face the consequences and the kid should get the chance to live a life free from a mother who is a sick, twisted piece of shit.
