Loathsome Ben Goldsmith whines to the press after his posh celeb bash by Grenfell was interrupted

So you're in favour of anti-Semitic remarks if they're aimed at rich people?

I don't believe a word you say.

 

[Wilf]

Alleged, possible, contested racism aside, I would hope Corbyn's Britain would be exactly like this. It won't.

 

[Coconutjob]

If you really think that anyone here is favour of anti-Semitic remarks, why phrase it as a stupid question? Name names.

Editor, I suppose, or whatever the original poster is called.

In the auld days banned returners were more entertaining

Shouldn't diss the boss, eh.

Rule 1 of urban: don't be a dick.

Even better not to post up projected bullshit.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Rule 1 of urban: don't be a dick.

Technically that comes before rule 1

Your house, your rules. Am I allowed to disagree with established members (including you) though?

 

[sheothebudworths]

Should be noted that there's mention made (in the comments of the article linked to in post #4) of a tweet from a full on stalker who harassed a poster from here over several years before she was convicted, iirc.

You should know, with your previous experiences.

The Mail's hyperbole is pretty funny tbh. It's as if Corbyn ordered the anarchist anti-semitic units into action himself

It's more than just the Mail smearing Corbyn in this way. However, it was the Mail that launched its own anti-semitic campaign to undermine Ed Milliband by smearing Ralph Milliband. The Mail which under the current owners grandfather supported Hitler in the 30s.

So you are stupid. Got it.

 

[bimble]

'Rothschild' is a euphemism for Jewish amongst anti Semites.

The Goldsmith family are Jewish and one of them was once married to one of the Rothschilds so perhaps the person who said it meant it in a factual way as opposed to being anti semitic. Hard to tell without knowing if this is actually happened, who said what and why.

Yeah because calling someone by the name of their ex-wife is totally normal, nothing to see here just use of the Rothschild trope in a 'factual way'.

 

[cupid_stunt]

A google news search - "Ben Goldsmith" + Grenfell - gives the Mail as the only news source for this 'story', I would have expected others to pick-up on it, if it was true.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Still no evidence that anyone said it or that any of the other things the Mail claims happened.

 

[bimble]

I was just commenting on Ian Bone's tweet.

 

[andysays]

I was just commenting on Ian Bone's tweet.

Bone's tweet looks iffy to me, unless there's something I'm missing.

But the entire Mail story looks equally iffy, in the sense that I suspect it's largely fabricated.

 

[butchersapron]

The bone tweet is him copying what someone else said and failing to make clear what he's doing - i was made aware - by someone very angry at it - of the exact same quote posted by friends of class war on facebook the night this 'happened'. Bone is obv making a public point of defending anyone involved against bullshit thrown at them as well as spotting a gap for future actions.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

He should have put Goldsmiths instead of Rothschilds. You have to avoid giving people a stick to beat you with or that becomes the focus of the discussion instead of the cunts partying.

 

[Pickman's model]

anyway the story's clearly tosh



so where are the pictures of the 25-strong mob?

if the journos could get pictures like this

why couldn't they get pictures of the so-called mob invasion?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Someone taking to the stage is enough time to get camera phones out. The ‘mob’ may even have been eager to film it themselves.

it is inconceivable that some evidence of the event in the form of police statements, phone footage and so on would not have emerged.

Ian Bone should know better, I agree. I was giving the benefit of the doubt to the person who wrote it in the first place, because a look at their Facebook gives me the impression that they are perhaps not very politically savvy.

 

[Cloo]

Yup 'Pics or it didn't happen'. Considering people will livestream themselves eating fucking toast these days it's rather surprising that not a single person posted anything about being 'forced into a minute's silence' and that the photographer snapping posing girls 'moments before' the protesters entered didn't get anything.

 

[existentialist]

Shouldn't diss the boss, eh.

Er, no. Just "shouldn't out yourself as a dick within your first half-dozen posts".

editor takes plenty of stick from regular posters here - anyone who thinks Urban is some kind of monothought clique is, well, severely deluded.

Or a twat.

Apart from the usual selfie-obsessed guests and hangers on, there's usually shitloads of paparazzi photographers around these dire events, yet ne'er a single photo has to emerge.

a perspicacious poster said a while back

Pickman's model must be the leader of this board

wrong. but very flattering.

 

[existentialist]

I, for one, welcome our new Lovecraftian overlords.

It seems to be de riguer for Labour members these days.
