Having started this thread I thought I had better outline my thoughts a bit clearer. I do not think any anti semitism was intended and yes I do now the posters were withdrawn, however this leaves us with one of the following. A) They did not think the posters through. They were so nieve that they did not make the jewish/pig connection. B) They made the connection but did not think anyone else would. C) They made the connection and thought it was a good idea and new what the outcome could be. and still put it foward to the membership. C) does not bare thinking about. B) means they do not think the electorate are intelegent and can be taken for granted. A) means they are not thinking through their actions. On the ballance of evidence I would go for A). eg. The gamming act proposed and watered down, The burglary issue, a new law, no, explaine the current. i could go on. There does not seem to be any in depth thinking with this governement. and this was the problem with the proposed posters. So bad taste and ill thought through is my opinion. Bob PS sorry for any spelling I have just got back fromn the pub after a few drinks. |

Bob Yeah nice one ;-))) Bob Wood I agree they did not think the poster through, shamless really But your synopsis I think is correct. For the Labour party to be drawn into such a trap, well wouldnt have happened to the old Party, but with new labour anything can happen. Enjoyed the thread Bob Wood thank you. Hope you enjoyed the couple of drinks, still level headed though :-) Pat x |
