The usual DD down the rabbit hole reply larded with "implications" and "inferences" that only he is aware of, followed by a subtle lobbing in of something totally irrelevant to the original post, and then rounded off with a generouos dollop of misplaced "as I know and you don't" condescension.

Which is a statement, directly attributable to you and your opinion.
If you want to infer that your statement is based upon some random Google search results (which you did, once challenged) then maybe you should have made it clear that's what your statement was based upon, as opposed to your
actual statement, which is directly down to you and your opinion, with no qualifiers.
It's what I said in a follow up post to your outraged reply to my original throway remark.
Have you now decreed that those who disagree with you are not allowed to submit sources that back their opinions up then? Jesus, it's no wonder fewer and fewer people are bothering to post here!
Having studied my original 11 words with an intensity deserving of a Dead Sea Scrolls scholar, you post 54 words of mangled syntax that says precisely fuck all.
Perhaps you might like to climb down from your high horse and take some time to structure your remarks into what passes for cogent sentences? As it is, the above simply makes you sound like a Poundshop version of your mate, Copehead.

How many Labour supporters on here would you say have displayed anti-semitic tendencies?
Powehi wrote:Can you show me where I pointed out or even hinted that anyone did?
Er, no, I rather doubt you can.
Perhaps you might have better luck trying to explain what your baseless finger-pointing has to do with my perfectly valid observation re the unlikeliness of the next leader of the Labour party being Jewish?
Diamond Dog wrote:
What you did do was state that the next leader will not be Jewish, implying strongly that you believe the Labour Party will not select a Jew because of anti-semitism throughout the party (ie- the majority of members, hence the chances of a Jewish leader being elected). I asked you to point out which of the Labour party members on here have displayed anti-semitic tendencies in the past (assuming we would be representative of the party). You chose not to answer that question. Maybe you could now?
Ah the classic DD trope of moving the goalposts. All my original post said was the Labour would not elect a Jewish leader. Any "strong implication" re "anti-semitism throughout the party" has been put their by you yourself.

Sorry, but I cannot point out which Labour Party members on here have displayed anti-semitic tendencies, because the last time I looked, it was not necessary to declare one's political party membership(s) before joining and posting the board. As I result, with the possible exceptions of Copehead and Deebank, I have no idea a to who is (or who is not) a Labour Party member.
Given that all you know about me is the almost 100% incorrect assumptions you regularly make based on my posts, how do you know that I'm not a Labour Party member myself?

By the way, the previous Labour leader was Milliband - who is Jewish.
Blimey, must have slept through the whole of the 2015 election! Thanks for letting me know in your usual patronising style.

So, in fact, Labour has had a Jewish leader within the last three years or so. So the facts strongly suggest the next leader could well be Jewish. I have more faith in that than a random Google search.
The
facts "strongly suggest" no such thing.
