BC LABOR PARTY
Saved by @Alex1Powell

Thread on cognitive dissonance in the Labour Party 🧵 🌹 🤯 ⬇️

Many people fail to, or refuse to, understand how the type of CLP motions ruled out of order by the general secretary lead to an unsafe space for Jewish members if debated.

Here’s a step-by-step guide...

 1) EHRC finds that Labour has committed unlawful acts against Jewish members, and that the leadership failed to tackle antisemitism. That ruling is final. It’s not for individuals to accept/reject and/or challenge.

The EHRC is a statutory body. They investigated for 18 months.
2) Jeremy Corbyn refuses to accept ‘all the findings’ and insists the ‘scale of the problem was exaggerated,’ directly parroting the *denial* that EHRC found to be a huge part of the problem.

3) Corbyn refuses to retract or apologise and is suspended by GS.
Corbyn’s comments after the release of the EHRC really underlines the problem he has. The problems that led to the EHRC being forced to conclude the party had acted unlawfully and discriminated against it’s Jewish members.

Even when given the chance to apologise, he refuses.
4) Campaigns of support and solidarity with Corbyn spring up. These campaigns are the direct result of Corbyn’s suspension for promoting denial of Labour antisemitism and refusing to clear a very low bar.

5) These campaigns are embraced by Corbyn himself. The beast grows.
6) The NEC subcommittee that heard Corbyn’s case has been told to wind up disciplinary matters by the EHRC, in preparation for a fully independent one. Nonetheless, they heard the case, ordered he retract and apologise for statement, and readmitted him.
7) Corbyn’s membership is reinstated, but he doesn’t withdraw or apologise for the statement that led to his suspension.

8) The Labour whip has always been in the leadership’s gift; Starmer withholds it.
By not welcoming Corbyn back into the PLP until he withdraws his offensive statement and apologises, the Labour leadership is finally demonstrating the moral clarity that had been so lacking from LOTO these last five years.
This decision is widely welcomed by Jewish communal organisations; the apolitical ones, the left wing ones, and the rest.

Of course, fringe far-left groupings that have spent five years making excuses for and acting as shields for antisemites tell a different story.
These groups represent, at best, the opinion of a couple percent of British Jews.. but they’ve been platformed to appear like there’s a 50:50 split in the wider community.

Deferring to these groups for your dose of Jewish thought and ignoring all others is tokenistic and racist.
Fast forward to the motions that condemn Starmer/support Corbyn to regain whip...

9) These motions come to branch/GC/AMM meetings. They say Corbyn is a ‘victim’ and a ‘lifelong antiracist.’

They might not mention Jews or antisemitism, but gloss over the eight steps to this one.
This is a chain of events; the motions, whether or not you see it, are the perfect cover for debating antisemitism and the EHRC report.

These motions do not happen in isolation, they happen as a response to steps 1-8. It gaslights the Jewish community and makes meetings unsafe.
I think it’s unhelpful to compare racisms and profess that such and such wouldn’t happen to xyz community because it’s almost always untrue.

But, for a lot of people, failing to see the link between these motions and direct hostility to Jewish members is a unique blind spot.
Jews aren’t asking for special treatment, as I’ve seen inferred by some.

But after five years of crap, the resignation of Jewish MPs and councillors, and conclusion of a statutory EHRC investigation, we shouldn’t have to *still* prove what has been proven a hundred times over.
Cheerleaders for the left got it wrong on Livingstone, Galloway, Williamson, Willsman, Greenstein, Walker, and others.

All wasted political capital because they wouldn’t listen to experts on antisemitism or the Jewish community, and later backtracked.
Is it so hard to believe they’ve also got it wrong on members of JVL, or the other agents of the Labour Party who hear, debate, and vote for these motions that bring shame on the party and indirectly discriminate against Jews?

Because that’s what they’re doing and defending.

You want to buy a house.

You take a loan from the bank.

The bank asks you, “what if you don’t pay back?”

You say, “take my home and sell it”.

(Thread)

That makes sense. The bank gives you a loan and in case you don’t pay, the bank will take over your house and sell it and recover its money.

That’s collateral.

Banks also lend money to big corporations. With them, banks don’t always have collateral.

So a loan where the bank has collateral is considered safer for the bank.

In the early 2000s, the banks in the USA were giving out loans to people for buying houses.

The economy had just recovered from the tech bubble in 2000 where many banks had given out loans to businesses that had shut down.

In that backdrop, the banks found giving home loans safer.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

Listen to Aditya


And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

Beautiful Story of Guruvayurappan

Poonathanam Namboothiri was a great devotee of Guruvayurappan. One day Poonthanam was going to Guruvayur Kshetram. It was night time and eventhough Namboothiri was tired he continued to walk


Suddenly some thieves came and blocked his way. Poonthanam cried for Shri Krishna to help. Thieves snatched all valuables from him, but Namboothiri holding his Bhaghavatam book called Shri Krishna to help. That time a man came in a horse back and fought with thieves and protected


Namboothiri. Poonthanam thanked Krishna for helping him from danger and said to the man that "Shri Krishna has send you here and I don't know how to thank you".  The man smiled and told that he is Mangattachan, minister of  samoodhiris. Poonthanam once again thanked him and


gave his ring to Mangattachan as a token of thanks and continued his journey. He reached Guruvayur early morning for Nirmalya Darshan. Temple poojari came near him and told that Guruvayurappan came in his dreams and asked to hand over the ring to poonthanam.


When he opened Kshetra Nada poonthanam was surprised to see his ring on Guruvayurappan, which he gifted to Mangattachan. He understood that it was Guruvayurappan who came as Mangattachan to protect him. This is how Bhagwan treat his devotees.

Oleg Karpov pisze, że gdyby Siergiej Sirotkin zdobył w pierwszej części sezonu więcej punktów od Strolla, to jego kontrakt z automatu zostałby przedłużony na kolejny sezon. Tak się nie stało i Williams ma możliwość szukania innych opcji i to właśnie robi. #F1pl

Czego w artykule brakuje, to informacji, że SMP prawdopodobnie przekazało Williamsowi część środków na sfinansowanie sezonu 2019. W przypadku zakończenia współpracy ekipa z Grove będzie musiała zwrócić te środki. #F1pl

To tłumaczy wysokie kwoty jakich Williams ma oczekiwać za fotel od nowego kierowcy. Jest pewnie próg opłacalności i dopóki nie zostanie osiągnięty, to zmiana z finansowego punktu widzenia nie będzie się zwyczajnie opłacała. #F1pl

Tyle można znaleźć w oświadczeniach prasowych... 😂😂😂

So, on the subject of bonkers hyperbolic pretzeling over the Bell judgement, Grace 'destroy books I don't like & make inappropriate jokes about sterilising teenage girls' Lavery has some thoughts.

Tell me why my feminism is wrong Grace.

Oh

Well, if anyone thought the Bell judgment was going to make TRAs reconsider making massively overblown claims with no evidence backed up with nothing but a thick wadge of emotional blackmail.... HAHAHA, no one thought that.


A high court in the UK made a delimited judgment about teenager's ability to consent to puberty blockers. This puts all trans people everywhere in the world at risk.

Because if any human anywhere has any thoughts that deviate in any way from the rote line dictated by

the trans rights movement, this puts all trans people everywhere in mortal danger.

Let's be honest Grace. It doesn't put trans people at risk. It puts trans ideology at risk. Because trans ideology depends on the idea of innate gender identity, and the trans child is the

necessary material evidence of the ontology of gender identity.

That is, children are being medicalised to provide evidence to underwrite adults identities.

Nothing to see here.
