leicsmac Posted 3 November 2017 Share Posted 3 November 2017 http://www.newsweek.com/trump-russia-jewish-farage-brexit-698486 Would normally put this in the US thread but as it's someone from the UK saying it I thought it might belong here.

Guest MattP Posted 3 November 2017 Share Posted 3 November 2017 Not the sort of thing you expect to hear from Peston. Quite an interesting sample here, gives me some optimism as it shows people might just be prepared for the long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellend Sebastian Posted 3 November 2017 Share Posted 3 November 2017 I wrote on the side of a bus that Natasha Crowther shagged the butcher's lad and everyone believed that, so it's not without precedent. Thoughts to the families Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the last word should really be "implies" because he didn't actually say those words. The implication itself, however, from the words in the interview, is reasonably clear.

The caller tried to and he admitted that the Jewish lobby had power as did other lobby groups. He seemed more concerned with distancing himself from the Russian thing.

So he was just pandering to the caller, then? That is entirely possible, of course. And yeah, considering Trump really wants the Russia thing to go away, it would make sense that Farage wants this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe they have managed to get the headline "JEWS SHOULD CONCERN AMERICANS MORE THAN RUSSIAN INFLUENCE" from that, I had to listen to again to see if I had missed something or my internet connecttion had cut part of it out. It's not exactly a secret that there is a Jewish lobby that has financial and political influence within Washington, Farage simply mentioned that.

Just now, Webbo said: Would it be fair to label that Fake News? Probably so, on the balance of things. I thought Newsweek was a reputable establishment. Apparently not, given the bit of twisting done here. I would however be interested in the response were a Labour MP, for instance, were to point out the influence of the Jewish lobby similarly. Quite frankly, I think their treatment of the Jews is something that the most hardline of left and right wingers actually agree on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
