Jeremy Corbyn - Not Not Labour Party(?), not a Communist (BBC)

For an English or American person, you’d always pronounce it “steen”. Like Brian Epstein, the Beatles’ manager. None of this is relevant to Corbyn’s views on anti-semitism but it is a bit surprising he pronounced his name like a Bavarian beer glass.

Funny you bring that up because the Beatles pronounced Epstein closer to the way Corbyn did than the way you do.

Fair enough, Corbyn’s from that generation and from a small town. I went to school in Manchester with a lot of Jewish kids. Although it doesn’t explain the “st” becoming the German “sht”.
 
This is absolute madness. A lot of otherwise smart people as well. It'd be laughable if it wasn't painfully frustrating.

I wish we could just split the country in two at this point and let them have what they want, and give us a chance of something better. I wonder how many would change their mind when they realised they wouldn't be sticking it to everyone else.
 

Rachel Riley's rapid descent into a frothing Corbynphobic nutcase has definitely been one of the weirdest features of modern British political discourse in recent times. Like I fully accept and appreciate the inevitable existence of an anti-Corbyn lobby, especially amongst Zionists but I find the levels some people have taken it to utterly mind boggling.
 


It all gets weirder. You photoshop that picture.

And....



Genuinely thought the Rabbi was being facetious.
This is beyond parody.

As for Rachel, she’s been a nutcase on twitter for years, her anti-blackness has shown up on many occasions too.

Also, for good measure there’s an account called ‘Red Tory’ offering to sell these t-shirts - the same Party that put up posters saying ‘hang Nelson Mandela’ and an MP offering to shoot him. Nice.
 
:lol:

This Epstein mess combined with Riley's unabashed mentalism finally getting a bit of mainstream attention feels like a tipping point of sorts regarding the absurdity of a lot of this antisemitism lark.

Rachel Riley is losing it. Why would you photoshop out an anti apartheid message?

What a nutter. Katie Hopkins level.

Edit: apparently she lost it long ago. Who knew!

Yeah she's been a loon for some time. Perfect example of what spending too much time on social media can do to a person.
 
I followed her for years because she looks good in a dress, but I've had to unfollow her because she has become absolutely rabid in her hatred for Corbyn.
 
Without wanting to sound like a Daily Mail comments section dick head, it's entirely possible that due to the fact she's heavily pregnant she might be a little more extreme in her thoughts at the moment.

She's been like this for years, pregnancy has nothing to do with it.

Hopefully her antics are picked up by mainstream media, because her islamphobia & racism has been disgusting to witness.

"It's pronounced 'Fronkensteen..."
:lol:
Sedagive me a break, this nonsense.
 
Knowing Rachel Riley is a lunatic makes her strangely hotter. Maybe I should make my move. I still have my hood after all...

She has but she's definitely been worse lately.

I do wonder where her employers stand on it all though. Tricky spot for them to be in. On the one hand she has every right to air her political opinion and genuine concerns on antisemitism but some of this latest stuff is not a good look (for her or them).

I won't hold my breath that her employers will do anything about it, this too will be forgotten.
 
Imagine if these offended celebrities had to be black, or Eastern European or Muslim for a day. Seems any old attempt to throw anti semitic mud at JC by certain elements within society. It's definitely not Jewish people though - loads of Jewish people support JC, you only have to look on twitter to see.

My very Pakistani name is pronounced in an anglicized way, it always has been because the English language doesn't pronounce letters in the same way the Urdu alphabet does, so when my name is pronounced by English people, they pronounce it as they read it or understand it according to their understanding of language. I've gotten used to it. if someone tried to pronounce it correctly, it wouldn't offend me. It might surprise me because it seems the only person who pronounce it correctly are Pakistani people but offend? No.
 
This antisemitism storm just seems so far away from anything in my daily life. I almost feel guilty for struggling to comprehend the situation. It’s everywhere and I’m just looking at it like bro wtf
I'm the exact same. I don't understand it one bit.

If I'm honest, all I know of is the Israel/Palestine situation and given the strong opinions of both sides, I don't have an opinion on the matter nor do I want to research it and have one.
 
Didn't know this. Don't follow her. I have only went her on TV and the United end of the season dinner.

Her one stance is to stand up against antisemitism, which is obviously a noble perspective.
The problem is that in doing so, she doesn't care if she's racist against other ethnic minorities - also she only calls out antisemitism when it's to do with Labour or Corbyn, so you have to question exactly what her motives are too.

Yep, similar with my Ghanaian name - and I personally know dozens of people who have shortened their name, or changed it completely just to assimilate in a society where the majority are likely to mispronounce it.

Did she mention the 16 year old Nazi who was planning on bombing synagogues?

I thought that would be bigger news but all I've seen on twitter is people criticising Corbyn's pronunciation.

Wait what? This is the first i'm hearing of it.
This is the problem with the antisemitism issue, especially as someone who isn't affected by it, where can you even go to find impartiality on the subject?
