Red Kens arse - a new ground zero & confected outrage - Michael Barwell - 28-04-2016
MP John 'the man' Mann brands red Ken Livingstone a "nazi appologist" - [size=12]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/36161950
Gloriously entertaining bit of confected outrage today as the Labour Party has an antisemitic-stroke-cum-daesh-islamofascist identity crisis & Sadiq Khan boogeys to Zac Goldsmiths tune - "Sadiq Khan is "unfit" to run London and protect Britain's capital from a terrorist attack because of questions about his links to Islamist extremists, Zac Goldsmith says today." Brings-out the whipping-boy - "Khan, who faces Zac Goldsmith next Thursday in the London mayoral election, called the former Labour mayor's [Ken Livingstone's] comments "appalling and inexcusable"".
'king funny really, no bugger on the beeb or sky have trooped-out any 'istorians. Sky's Tamara Cohen had a good line in the scrum, "Ken, why are you standing-up for 'itler?" (3:07pm today), an' Obergruppenfuhrer BBC News kept-on talking about "furious-" & "blazing-" rows between the emotionally unstable & grandstanding John 'big kid' Mann (doubtless elsewhere too, but this is fairly representative - Watch: Ken Livingstone accused of being 'Nazi apologist' in foul-mouthed clash with Labour MP John Mann - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/28/ken-livingstone-accuses-israel-lobby-of-orchestrating-a-campaign/ but on the other hand this one actually adresses some of the 'spark'/'istorical debateish - http://news.sky.com/story/1686687/livingstone-suspended-over-hitler-comments .
Weird how it's such an assymetric canvas of outrage; I worked-out the other week that during the 2014 Gaza-Israel thing, maybe 1,900 gallons of Palestinian blood was shed, where at the drop of a shat, a happy kleptomaniacs presumption of name-calling is "an outrage".
London School of Economics free speech society faces ban threat after student files motion
Student says it would be 'hilarious if the anti-ban society was actually banned', while the group remains 'undeterred'

As a Yorkshireman once said to the great Humphrey Lyttleton, "I'm a blunt man an' ah says what ah mean-", "So am I, now piss-off".
