If Theresa May was in charge of Boris’s divorce he’d end up still married.Not just still married but also paying alimony and no say in the new arrangement.

Can someone give me a run down on why she is so concerned? I get Corbyn hates Israel and has supported Palestine. But has this morphed into something more sinister than the usual left wing hatred of Israel?
It's difficult to quantify as actual quotes that could be definitive are thin on the ground. Much as I dislike the man I have to say I have seen little to suggest he is anti-Semitic, but a fair bit to suggest he is anti-Zionist.
In the press much has been made of the reluctance for the Labour Party to embrace a specific set of parameters as to what constitutes being anti-Semitic rather than look in depth at what actual parameters they have adopted. It seems as though they have now caved in and adopted the alternative parameters. These are the parameters espoused by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. I'm not sure why these parameters carry more weight than others, though I'm sure there is some nut-job reason.
Could be very wrong for this oversimplification but it appears to me that both Jews and non-Jews are confusing Jewish and Israeli.
To my eyes you can be both and you can be one or the other.
But if you criticise Israel and their policies you are not necessarily condemning Judaism or being anti-Semitic

Completely agree how it's stupid to label criticism of Israel as antisemetic. That's almost up there with this Islamaphobia nonsense. But when you get this overthetop, frothing at the mouth hatred levelled at Israel by people who ignore the sins of other much worse countries then you have to wonder what's driving it.

Terrific summary on the fake news reporting in the UK, and how to deal with it.
UKIP are doing some really interesting things at the moment to rebuild.
Popular classical liberal youtubers such as Paul Joseph Watson, Markus Meecham and Carl Benjamin have joined and have been given access to the leadership group
Gerard Batten recognises their popularity with politically engaged youth and impressively is not currently giving any restriction on what they can or cannot talk about. In turn these youtubers are helping modernise the party and are advising on how to win against the smear of modern media.

Yeah , good idea, what could possibly go wrong?

A great speech and a very illuminating look at just how bad things have become in Britain.
Assuming he doesn't go to jail he really could have a future in politics.
9 people a day are currently being detained for 'offensive' posts. Yet police are too strained to deal with rape, murder, assault and terrorism... The sheer state of the UK right now.
I'm looking forward to seeing UKIPs manifesto, currently don't see any other option for Britain.

The comments tell the story.
How long till our police are doing something this asinine?
Well once Jacindamania has died out (please be soon) we might get a government interested in learning from Britains failure. Have gone through a lot of the tweet comments and there is not a single positive one. There is talk however about police not investigating crime in Bolton due to resources and a rumoured next child rape gang revelation.

I admire your optimism, wish I felt the same way .

Yeah must be close to a tipping point. 100% negative comments. Surely even the most feminised, social justice obsessed, soy boy social media manager must realise that maybe 100% of the general public aren't actually nazis.

Ok, so the answer to the rape gangs has been right under our noses all along.

You just have to ignore the 'red herring'verses about beating your wife, raping children, women having half the value as men in law and the taking of 'unbeliever' sex slaves....actually no they have a point, if everyone converted to Islam then there would be no unbelievers to rape and any female oppression will be nicely hidden way behind closed doors and niqabs. Out of sight out of mind.
