Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Thanks Stan (and cynic). The per night price is set by the property owner of course. Air does add a small service charge. But I think £97 for 3 night is ok? Will let you know once I have stayed there!

Very interesting, first livestream of the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting going on just now.

Warren Buffett time. I would like to buy som BRK, having listened for a bit.

edit.. Mr Buffett (85) and Mr Munger (92), just heard. Inspirational.

I agree it does look good randompunt, but those prices are nowhere near the higher prices that I saw when I looked some months ago.

Good luck and let us know how it went.

Be careful of this sort of thing. There have been several instances.

Is that your favourite pass time H/S on a holiday W/E? spending time being what seems to be constantly infatuated with all things not Right Wing.

Whats sados you Tory low life are.

More up to date and relevant!

Was Putin slipping Cameron a few notes?

Mind Cameron needs a few friends.

He needs more then a few.

Osborne and the Con parties new cohorts.

Osborne does look chuffed.

Did he have a chat about future steel closures in the UK or future backhanders.

I would say more scruff than chuffed, is he trying to outdo Corbyn?

Jeremy Corbyn under pressure to denounce 'friends' Hamas and Hezbollah


By Kate McCann, Senior Political Correspondent

Jeremy Corbyn is under pressure to denounce Hamas and Hezbollah ahead of the local elections next week as members of his inner circle were accused of "vilifying" Jews.

The Labour leader, who has previously called the controversial groups "friends" has launched an inquiry into antisemitism after he was forced to suspend MP Naz Shah and former Mayor Ken Livingstone last week.

Mr Corbyn faces growing pressure from his own MPs amid rumours of a coup to remove him from office if the party does badly in the local elections.

Last week the Labour leader claimed his party does not have a problem with antisemitism and today Diane Abbott, a close ally, warned it is a "smear" to say the party has an issue with anti-Jewish remarks.

It came as Len McCluskey, boss of the union Unite, said the anti-Semitism row has been whipped up in a bid to oust Mr Corbyn.


The remarks prompted Israeli Ambassador Mark Regev to warn people on the left are "deluding themselves" by claiming there is no problem with anti-Semitism.

He also demanded Mr Corbyn denounce Hamas and Hezbollah, which he said are "homophobic, misogynistic and antisemitic" organisations.

Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, he said: "You’ve had too many people on the progressive side of politics who have embraced Hamas and Hezbollah.

"Both of them are anti-Semitic organisations, you just have to read Hamas’ charter and it’s like chapters straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

"Yet some progressive politicians have embraced Hamas. Now, I’d ask the following question: if you’re progressive, you’re embracing an organisation which is homophobic, which is misogynistic, which is openly anti-Semitic, what’s progressive about that?"




Mr Regev also challenged Mr Corbyn to visit Israel and start a dialogue with Jewish leaders in a bid to prevent the row over anti-Semitism spreading.

The Labour leader has previously said he called the two groups "friends" because it is important to have conversations with such groups, even if you do not agree with them.







“I don’t think there is a Jew in Britain who has given money centrally to the party since Jeremy Corbyn’s selection”

Labour donor Michael Foster




The Ambassador added: "Why can you share a platform with someone who is openly anti-Semitic?

"I have no doubt that part of the left is in denial. They say 'anti-Semitism, that's the right, that's the fascists'. That's a cop-out. It doesn't stand up to serious historical examination."

The party is caught in the middle of an antisemitism row after MP Naz Shah posted antisemitic pictures and messages on Facebook and was subsequently suspended.

Ken Livingstone, a close ally of Mr Corbyn and former London Mayor also waded into the row and was suspended for linking Hitler and Zionism in an apparent attempt to defend Ms Shah.




In the wake of the comments Mr Corbyn launched an inquiry into anti-Semitism and promised to toughen up party rules to expel members who make antisemitic remarks, but critics claim his response has not been good enough.

And there are concerns that the row, which shows no sign of abating, will damage Labour's chances in the London Mayoral election and local elections taking place this week.

In an article in the Observer Sadiq Khan, Labour's mayoral candidate, expressed concern that some members of London's Jewish community would find it hard to vote for him because of the ongoing debate.

He said: "I accept that the comments made by Ken Livingstone have made make it more difficult for Londoners of Jewish faith to feel that the Labour party is a place for them."







“Jeremy Corbyn has legitimised and unleashed a strain of anti-Semitism that has been lurking in the shadows of the Left for quite some time”

Sir Eric Pickles




It came as Michael Foster, a long-time Labour donor, said no British Jew has given money to the central party since Mr Corbyn became leader.

He added: "What I don’t agree with is the way that the leadership of the Labour party simply has ignored this issue and not gone to any length at all to meet with and speak to the Jewish community about its fears.

“I think I’m right in saying I don’t think there is a Jew in Britain who has given money centrally to the party since Jeremy Corbyn’s selection, because prior to his selection and since his selection, we have asked and asked for this to be dealt with.”

Mr Foster said he does not think Mr Corbyn is antisemitic, but warned that some people think his "fellow travellers" "vilify Jews as part of their political shtick".

He said: "I think it’s quite clear… that there are many apologists for what Ken did and I think people such as Simon Fletcher, and people such as Seumas Milne, have a history throughout their working life of trying to shame and shout down people who try to defend Israel."

Alf's side kick has awoken.. another one infatuated with all things not Right Wing.

Your beloved Labour Party just keeps on giving Stanley! Comrade Corbyn banned from going to Wales I see LOL!

''Gidion's on borrowed time just like Cameron''.

Make it tomorrow and I will be happier George.

It'll be good to get Michael Gove as PM, someone with integrity and the courage of their convictions.

Glad you agree with me Stan.
