By English Culture I mean all the cornerstone values and heritage that is probably held in common with Wales and Scotland a lot more than each aforementioned country cares to acknowledge.The culture of London is perhaps a culture on its own,you only have to speak to a Londoner from around fifty years old upwards or better still watch an old English film set there to see how thats changed. Years ago in the seventies at school in Glasgow,you could have went round the class and asked everyone something about England and to a child you would have gotten a reply,these would have been anything from the 1966 World Cup to Brighton Rock and all sorts in-between, I don't believe you would get a reply in some parts of England now,never mind in Scotland. I get uncomfortable with xenophobia and see it as just another convenient peg to hang an inconvenient to some point of view on.Racism I tend to view the same way,Feminism to a certain degree also,we see it at its worst with these ridiculous women only shortlists for Parliamentary Seats, one wonders what Thatcher would have thought of it

Good to see Len McLuskey of Unite enter the fray this morning in order to defend Corbyn in the "Anti Semitism Crisis that Engulfs the Labour Party". Think about that phrase for a moment,do any of us actually think that crisis is real or manufactured ? I don't believe its real and sadly I have to consider that Len McLuskey has it correct when he lays the blame at the Right Wing Establishment and Disloyal Labour MP,s pursuing an anti corbyn agenda

Unfortunately ignorant people confuse a people with their government. If you are a Jew then ignorant people assume that you support a Zionist government and may give you abuse. This is the reason I stopped flying the Scottish flag on my boat last year. Ignorant people assumed I supported the SNP and I got abuse. Really! The same attitude prevailed in some posts on CWDF, and more recently in one post on here. People have asked us is our Finnish flag the Scottish flag!

The one on the right means 'My vessel is stopped' in maritime flag signals!

Does this Anti Semitic euphoria fool anyone ? Does anyone on this Forum believe the Labour Party is anti semitic ? It has been quoted that anti semitic attacks are on the increase in this country,is there a link to the growth of Islam?

Can anyone tell me why being semitic is a bad thing? I know nothing, other than that Corporal Hitler didn't like them very much.

Why is being 'semitic' such a GOOD thing? Why are so many people ANTI it? What did they ever do, except enjoy having loads of dosh? I would never have made a politician. I know only of aircraft, boats, trains, photography and that.

Quite a few sailors pointed this out when I used to fly that 'courtesy flag' whilst sailing in Scotland. It wasn't a requirement, but the Jocks were always pleased to see it flying from the starboard rigging.

I also agree with part of his statement. I disagree with the last 2 lines. You dont think we have the right or you dont think they are really murdering women and children in spite of UN evidence? I dont think they are one of the most brutal regimes going.

Have you noticed how anti semitism has disappeared from the news agenda now the elections are over ?
