  • The British ruling class is more interested in maintaining their own power than in supporting Israel. Israel isn't their military base, and they want good relations at least with the ruling classes of the Gulf states. If pushed too hard, there is a possibility that they will throw Israel under the bus to save their own skins. I'm not betting on it happening, but Harmer & Co. are spineless cowards, so anything is possible.



  • We should do what works. Entryism into Harmer's government would, in general, be a waste of time. Getting the BBC to correct this particular mistake might work, as (1) the UK has a sizeable elite Muslim population, (2) the UK, unlike the US, needs to maintain good relations with oil producers, and (3) criticising Israel and supporting Palestine is therefore much more 'acceptable'.









  • Should I just copy my wife?

    Safest option. Also please call it football, not s*****.

    Football is serious business. Wearing the wrong team jersey can get you anything from angry looks to shoves. Listen to your wife.

    In general, most football fans are working class, but some are racist or otherwise bigoted. Liverpool and Arsenal have probably the best fanbases among the big clubs.
