Foreign Office, November 2nd,1917 Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you on behalf of His Majesty's Government the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations, which has been submitted to and approved by the Cabinet: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country." I should be grateful if you would bring this Declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours sincerely, Arthur James Balfour

No but I'd never heard of this agreement that was signed with the Nazis. As I said, "interesting."

Um, first you are getting your usernames mixed up. Second there was a gap of about the time it takes to read and digest said Wikipedia page. Well done on uncovering myself as part of some wicked, hateful leftist conspiracy taking over Saintsweb forum threads. Lol.

Labour is an anti-racist party to its core and has a long and proud history of standing against racism, including anti-semitism. I have campaigned against racism all my life and the Jewish community has been at the heart of the Labour Party and progressive politics in Britain for more than a hundred years. We have taken decisive action over allegations of anti-semitism since I became leader, suspending all those involved from membership, and have set up an inquiry under Baroness Royall into reports of anti-semitism in the Oxford University Labour club and elsewhere. I am now proposing to Labour’s National Executive Committee that it adopts a code of conduct on anti-semitism and other forms of racism, and establishing an inquiry into tackling anti-semitism and other forms of racism under the former director of Liberty Shami Chakrabarti. There is no place for anti-semitism or any form of racism in the Labour Party, or anywhere in society, and we will make sure that our party is a welcoming home to members of all communities.

Must've have picked up some nasty bug from the dirty fat pipes.

So why are Corbyn and Miliband friends then?

Exactly.

Erm... Sarcasm.

Of course we must never, ever aim to win the league, always think 10th and the future is rosey.

Its more amusing than your kipper anti-muslim anti-foreigner posts.

What did Dave say this time?

Not does suggesting that make Livingstone a racist, anti-Semite or nazi apologist as screamed at him by that Blairite.

So if there is a fire in a prison with poor staff and safety and all the prisoners die, it's the prisoners fault for being criminals who happen to be locked in a cell?

Nigel who? Sorry the rest of us aren't on first name terms.

That's really interesting. Didn't know about all that.

Livingstone is an idiot for bringing Hitler into it. The right wing press must be rubbing their hands with glee that their picking on the Muslim MP has snowballed like this just before local elections.

That's irrelevant to the events of the day. The police have a duty of care. The fact that there were cages makes the crowd control decisions even more important. Can't believe on a football fans forum on today of all days people are still blaming the fans and making out they deserved it. Unbelievable.

Whats that go to do with too many people being funneled into an unsuitable stand?

Id forgotten about Hameron's take on the matter: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/hillsborough-families-demand-david-cameron-87669

You would hope every team of highly paid professionals does their utmost to win every match they take part in. By definition then every team does aim to win whatever league they may be in.

So why was it so much better organised the year before as someone has said on here? You make it sound like all fans had it coming and if 500 had died back at the Dell one day it would've been their own damn fault for going.

Well there's already been a suspension at high level in the Yorkshire Police. Hopefully some of them will go to prison.

Cheers, don't suppose you can remember the company name?
