Exactly this! Me and my OH were discussing it this morning. We watched back to back war movies in our childhood and teens because that’s all that was on the telly. It never made us think Hitler was a good thing! Such a ridiculous article.

Peiple were still doing this to my son in Norfolk 10 years ago. The school tried to deal with it in fairness

Quite. And when I asked for a second glass of wine, the waiter refused and said ‘basta’ - I was furious

Reminds me of a wedding I attended in Italy years ago where the women were given exactly half the amount of food than the men

When you are old and grey is one of mine too. Love that poem.
I have heard the mermaids singing each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.

Lovely love letter. Thank you for persevering!

Yes. I see that now. I’m afraid that your original post did not make that clear and I could not read the article. You must understand that as a member of the British Jewish community one feels a little bit sensitive at the moment in the face of rising antisemitism.

But you wouldn’t be saying that if they were all Christian! That’s the point. And its not the majority - its half. I am enjoying the polite debate btw. You have a good day too.

So I gather. @peterjukes.bsky.social did not make that clear in his post and the paper is behind a paywall. I still think the Jewishness of the oligarchs is not relevant and I profoundly disagree with your views. Lets not carry on this conversation - I am late for work!

Thank you for clarifying this. It came across very badly and I have a huge respect for @peterjukes.bsky.social so was a bit shocked tbh

I am sorry. I do not agree with you.

Rubbish. Completely different. This is just blatant anti semitism. The Jewishness of the oligarchs is not relevant to their general bad behaviour. Equally the appalling behaviour of the Israeli government does not mean that all Jews want to commit genocide against the Palestinians.

Except that it is all the usual tropes. Are we looking at the religion/race of the other oligarchs?
