The Jewish Labour Movement - which has led calls for a crackdown on anti-Semitism in Labour's ranks - welcomed Sir Keir's decision to sack Mrs Long-Bailey.National chairman Mike Katz said: "We have consistently maintained that the pervasive culture of anti-Semitism, bullying and intimidation can only be tackled by strong and decisive leadership...FEAR IS WORKING. Now they shut up you forever. ...Former shadow chancellor John McDonnell, who supported her leadership bid, said: "Throughout discussion of anti-Semitism it's always been said criticism of practices of Israeli state is not anti-Semitic. "I don't believe therefore that this article is or Rebecca Long-Bailey should've been sacked. I stand in solidarity with her."...I AGREE with John McDonnell!!

Boris welcomes on twitter LGBTXWYZ pride march today

Couldn't make it up, after blasting those on the beach

Apparently the lock down only applies to those that are white and straight

Well done David Frost. He has repeated a clear UK position. We are leaving the single market as we leave the EU as both Leave and Renain said we would. No more rule from the European Court.John Redwood

poikka: The whole of the Western World were caught unprepared and on the hop. Viruses like this have been predicted for years - our Governments did not even keep the National Stockpile of PPE up to date. Of course Joe P are always complicit to some degree when "advice" is not followed. BUT the right advice was given TOO LATE.

[poikka] 27/6/2020 10:55

Well that's true, maxk.

From Boots the Chemist:

"It’s important to note that wearing a face covering does not provide protection against coronavirus (COVID-19) but may help reduce the risk of transmission to others in some circumstances if you are carrying or showing symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19). (In which case you shouldn't be out and about in public.)

Face coverings should not be used as a replacement for social distancing or self-isolation. Regular handwashing, covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and not touching your face with unwashed hands still remain the most important actions."

I would add that Joe Public, being basically selfish and daft and greedy, will believe that he is more secure with a face mask on, and will, therefore, take greater risks with social distancing.

Result: probably a greater risk created by the use of masks.

Only leaver Joe Publics Poikka. The remain faction is beyond reproach.

bb, the UK locked-down on the same day that Germany and NZ locked-down.

Prior to that, the UK was giving out clear advice to anyone who had the wit to heed it, like yourself. The advice was clear: social distancing and hygiene.

I know that you don't like this democratically elected government, but it is quite obvious that the blame for the spread of the disease is down to Joe Public.

5xy:- re the Truth Bender, your mate John Redwood . . . .

"The UK entered lock down a little later than Italy or Spain because the virus arrived in force later in the UK. Indeed, the UK virus infection probably was fanned by people holidaying in Italy and returning with it where it was worse earlier than here."

A palpable lie, NHS regional hospitals were frantically erecting Covid-19 Reception Pods in the first week of March. THIS GOVERNMENT waited until 23rd March to start isolation at home or 'lockdown process.' AT WHAT COST IN LIVES?

Those of us who saw this isolated earlier - myself from 10th March.

Avoiding a second lock downBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 27, 2020The UK along with  most other countries accepted WHO advice. They monitored  the virus as it built up to a certain level, trying to contain it by test and track of those with symptoms. When it got to a certain level it was then decided to require everyone apart from  key workers to isolate at home. People were encouraged to work, but only if they could do so without social contact.The UK entered lock down a little later than Italy or Spain because the virus arrived in force later in the UK. Indeed, the UK virus infection probably was fanned by people holidaying in Italy and returning with it where it was worse earlier than here.Most argue the lock down has been successful. New cases and the death rate has fallen from shortly after the lock down was imposed, as you would expect. Some query whether the virus started to wane for other unspecified reasons, and some have been critical about the timing of quarantine provisions for visitors from abroad. It should be easy to agree that if you  make people stay away from all physical contact with others, it should stop the spread of a contagious disease. As long ago as  the medieval period they used isolation hospitals for contagious diseases they could not otherwise cure or control, so it is not a new insight.Today the issue is different. We know that whilst lock down can decelerate the virus, it will also do substantial damage to livelihoods and businesses. Whilst it is possible to borrow to pay for one lock down period and a business recovery from it, it would become very expensive to try to do so again from a second lock down. The damage would compound and more capacity and more jobs  lost for ever.So from now on government has both to save lives and livelihoods. It both has to  bear down on the disease, and help economic recovery. The method has been laid out  by Ministers and their advisers. It requires two things. It requires a good test and trace system, which we are assured we now have. It requires the co-operation of the public, who need to submit for a test if they have symptoms, and share details of their contacts if they test positive.As an enthusiast for getting back to more normal working, I just hope the new model for containing the disease gets the buy in it needs to succeed. We need it to do so to save both lives and livelihoods. I look forward to the NHS establishing isolation centres for residual virus treatment, so the rest of the service can return to normal to start tackling the backlog.
