So we get circular arguments. Lies. Truth. Lies. Truth. Round and round we go. Does anyone believe that’s genuinely helpful? Nomadking himself conceded that he was arguing with a point I wasn’t actually making.

I think if we’re all being honest here if I was in the other side of the Brexit debate or a Tory systematically dissecting the remain/Labour arguments nobody would bat an eye. However clearly some in the thread have taken to playing the man and not the ball.

Facebook has deleted a Conservative election ad that used BBC News footage because it infringed the corporation's intellectual property (IP) rights.

The BBC said the material had been used out of context in a way that "could damage perceptions of our impartiality".

On Thursday, the Tories rejected a request from the BBC's lawyers to remove the 15-second video.

The BBC also complained to Facebook, which has now deleted the ad.

In a statement, Facebook said: "We have removed this content following a valid intellectual property claim from the rights holder, the BBC.

"Whenever we receive valid IP claims against content on the platform, in advertising or elsewhere, we act in accordance with our policies and take action as required."

Clearly not the Tories, that looks like a typical Russian piss take.

It’s still irrelevant and does not alter the fact of Terrorist loving Corbyn, defending Russia and Putin, during the Salisbury poisonings.

I don't think he was defending the Russians I think he simply wanted the investigation to proceed without jumping to conclusions. There's still more questions than answers to that case.

No he didn’t. Corbyn went native so as to keep in with his Russian friends esp. Putin ex-KGB in the Commie regime.

What you think is immaterial, the fact is, there was strong evidence at the time that implicated it was Russia and Corbyn was dithering, demanding further various testing.

Quote from The Sun:Leaked papers used by Jeremy Corbyn to smear the Tories were last night linked to a Kremlin fake news campaign.

The dossier, said to show Boris Johnson would sell the NHS to Donald Trump, was ripped off the online forum Reddit.

But analysts say the papers, waved by Mr Corbyn at an election rally, bore the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign called Secondary Infektion.

Ben Nimmo, head of investigations at media analytics outfit Graphika, said: “It’s on the same set of websites, it’s using the same types of accounts and making the same language errors. It’s either the Russian operation or someone trying hard to look like it.”

The papers are either clearly civil service briefing for meetings or they aren't. If Russian sources are involved in providing them I fail to see the relevance. If they're genuine they are genuine. If not that should be easy to prove.

The relevance is obvious. The papers are being used out of context to allow one side of the debate to advance a certain point of view (actually just a riff on the same threat they’ve been making for 40 years, and it hasn’t happened yet, but hey). The effect is destabilising and the potential gain for Russian foreign policy is also therefore obvious. They’re not interested in any one party having a strong grip on power. Their greatest benefit is in weak, unstable government, of the kind gifted us by the 2017 election.

To repeat, for the benefit of those who have been thoroughly brainwashed by 40 years of Labour claiming the Tories really, really, honestly definitely this time, on the brink of selling the NHS: these are briefing documents arising from exploratory talks designed to set out the UK position and discover the US position. So what if the US wants to buy the NHS, or increase its prices for selling goods and services to the NHS. Nothing anywhere in this material says the Tories are about to give it to them.

Except, as I keep saying, people will believe what they want to believe.

Quote from The Sun:Labour magazine the New Statesman has turned its back on Jeremy Corbyn after calling him "unfit to serves as Prime Minister".

The left-wing publication today published an election editorial in which it refused to support Mr Corbyn's bid for power ahead of the general election in eight days.

The magazine has been a required reading for the Labour Party for decades.

In a bombshell issue, it said the Labour leader's "reluctance to apologise" for his handling of the party's anti-Semitism crisis meant he should not be put into Downing Street's Number 10.

No, that was so sarcastic it came over as sincere. I absolutely don’t think that, but when Momentum/Labour’s anti semitism problem has come up in this discussion before it has been dismissed as a confected Tory non-story (the last major scandal, for example, was pooh poohed because the chief rabbi is apparently a massive Tory and therefore motivated not by concern for the entire British Jewish community that he has pastoral responsibility for, but his big mate Boris).

I can go on Twitter and find Jews supporting Labour. So I don’t think it’s as clear cut as you suggest.

Thinking the state of Israel shouldn’t exist is a legitimate political stance. Given the number of civilians they kill on a regular basis arguable peace in the Middle East would be better served without Israel.

This was page one of this thread, but several people were so taken aback by the fairly outrageous comments about Israel, that the dismissal of the chief rabbi’s concerns for the entirety of the British Jewish community on the grounds of his friendship with Boris seems to have gone unremarked.

If jfman truly is of that opinion, then he needs to re-evaluate himself. Antisemitism on the scale present in Labour, one of the UK's supposedly great political parties, is shameful, un-British and is not to be tolerated.

"The theme running through our questions is trust - and why at so many times in his career, in politics and journalism, critics and sometimes even those close to him have deemed him to be untrustworthy. "It is, of course, relevant to what he is promising us all now."

Mr Johnson has also declined an invitation to be grilled by ITV's Julie Etchingham, as part of her series of leader interviews.

Why? Boris has pretty effectively portrayed himself as the only one who will draw a line under Brexit in England and Wales, and stand up to the YesNP in Scotland. Labour has its core vote plus a chunk of tactical Lib dems. In Scotland Labour looks like an ineffective coalition of metropolitan liberals pursuing their own ideological obsessions at the expense of the working class voters of the central belt they used to take for granted.

I'd need clarification from the moderators. It appears to me that criticising Labour is on topic, criticising the Conservatives (Islamophobia, Grenfell) is off topic. As I say I've been banned from the thread before, yet I don't see any action against anyone on the other side for ignoring instructions to move on, even though many address me directly.

I suppose we only have another week of the forum being used to push the Conservative party agenda and we can get back to the Brexit thread.

This is the election thread - as if you didn't know. The matter of Labour's record on antisemitism and Corbyn's personal stance (including his past - possibly current - support for terrorist causes) are highly pertinent to this thread.

Drawing you out on this in the light of what you've already indicated is perfectly proper - again as if you didn't know.

You seem to be doing a Corbyn yourself.

Excuse me, but all the above is pure bullshit. There has been plenty of critical points put forward on Tories, unchallenged by the team, no team member has told anyone they cannot be critical of any particular party.

You have not been banned for your highly critical points on the Tory party. So don’t you dare make up ridiculous assertions and accusations. I/we the team, couldn’t careless who you vote for, which party, you wish to slate, what I do care about is your attitude towards other members, how you speak to them, you referred to one member, to like having a lower paid job, belittling them. That is a no no. You suggested to another member, you were far more experienced than they were on economics, because in “your” mind, their arguments were flawed.

So this business or game, you appear to be playing now, seeking clarification, you damn well know what you’ve been told to stop doing and it certainly isn’t what you’ve ascertained above.
