will be interesting to see how it goes

I doubt that the strike would have been the well supported to be honest

Yep, I think that's highly likely KG.

My perception as a white middle aged etc etc is that UK society, in general, has become more aware of race issues and more integrated.

I think Labour had carried out their own investigation as well but nothing happened and hence the whole thing continued to fester and got worse. Same thing may well happen with the Tories, I don’t know, but what is clear is that these sorts of allegations cant be swept under that carpet by any party without an unfavourable eventual outcome. To be honest I’m not sure the “levels of bigotry” as you describe them were in fact similar, as evidenced by the EHRC involvement and investigation into Labour. I do agree though that there was an element of playing politics pre election, has always been thus and not surprising. I think the Country dodged a bullet with Corbyn, but then ended up getting shot in the @RSe by the Tories. Sad reflection. Let’s hope we can get a “decent” government in power next time, whatever it’s composition.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission initiated the investigation into the Labour Party because of specific complaints made to them regarding racism. Are you saying that similar complaints were made to the EHRC about the Tories regarding anti Muslim views and the EHRC failed to investigate them, if that is the case then they should be held to account for that decision, I don’t think that’s what happened but you may be right. Racism exists in all parties, it shouldn’t be defended but exposed and dealt with.

I think that may have been the justification used in the past, and as you say continues.

Not the current leadership as I made clear. These are the findings of the report into anti semitism in the Labour Party, Abbotts comments illustrate that the problem has not yet been resolved “A clear breakdown of trust between the Labour Party, many of its members and the Jewish community”; A culture that is “at odds with the Labour Party’s commitment to zero-tolerance of antisemitism”; Serious failings in leadership, processes and culture in dealing with antisemitism within the Party; Specific examples of unlawful harassment and unlawful indirect discrimination; “Clear examples” of inappropriate political interference in individual antisemitism cases; “An inadequate process for handling antisemitism complaints” across our Party; Inadequate resourcing of the complaints process and poor record-keeping; A failure to deliver adequate training for all those responsible for investigating antisemitism cases; and Repeated failures to implement in full the recommendations of previous reports into antisemitism.

What IS believed by Diane Abbott and many more I suspect who tried to defend the Corbynite position of Labour re Anti Semitism. I hope that SKS is successful in his drive to clean things up, I fear the views may still exist in some groups within the party but are less vocal, until of course an incident like a slip of the pen by Ms Abbott reveals her true thoughts.

Another example of the anti semitic views that ran through Corbyn’s Labour Party. It can be denied and obfuscated until the cows come home but unfortunately it’s very clear what is believed.

Farke, Smith, Wagner……..are they all poor managers, or is there more to this than meets the eye!!

Maybe an own goal

Last game we won at home was against Cardiff. Just saying!

Well done Adam and your giant pink boots

Have the match fixing rumours started?

Chris Martin in the pub, looking for a brawl

All working now

5-0 jncoming

Does Bailey not to his post match verdict video anymore?

Is the **** in the sombrero still there?

Yes, it was so much more than losing a manager for us, we also lost our identity.

Not in relation to this specific game, but I have to state the obvious that sacking Rogers to appoint Smith was a brainless decision, sacking Farke to appoint Smith was an order of magnitude greater on the stupidity scale.

are we on the beach yet?

they're fans

Maybe it was the players not Farke
