Not about back bone. It's the overwhelming influence of Zionism (effectively fascism) over Labour leadership as delivered by the Labour Friends of Israel, a recognisably rogue state. Israel seems perfectly happy to bring western governments into utter disrepute along with them. Astonishing to watch

Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

I don't think so. That gang of boot lickers still provide active support to a genocide. One of them, at least, is actively suppressing protest with a boot to the neck. May as well call them all state sponsors of terrorism. The humiliation is deep rooted.
