To wish we had someone like Mamdani in UK politics?

[LostInManhattan]

Someone who’s passionate, young and willing to break the rules in politics, all while caring about his city and the people in it. I wish we had someone like that here.

In your opinion she is lying. (Which is irrelevant what your opinion is of her post).
You don’t know where in London she lives or what the air quality is where she lives so no, you are being fake by claiming she is lying.
What you mean the Earth isn’t flat…..oh my goodness.

She said the air in London isn't cleaner now, which is a lie because it's scientifically proven that it's cleaner. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of science.

I don't how better to explain it to you.

Yes, dear, the Earth is flat.

Some people won't let facts get in the way of their prejudice.

Go Back and follow the trail of the conversation between the three.

So no answer then.

Exactly!

And some people can see when an agenda is being pushed rather than just value or just listen to other people’s opinions.
Don’t you think it is prejudiced to not listen to others but just go on your own opinions.

I can’t help you if you don’t understand.

If you understand it, why can't you explain it?

What agenda is being pushed?

He gave a speech in Arabic the other day. You want someone like that?

ehh

Being multilingual is an amazing talent. I’d love to see some properly intelligent people in charge.

Wow, you are not even attempting to hide your racism.

Farage/Johnson/Trump/Starmer talk in a language called waffley shite all the time, whats the difference?

OK so let's break this comment down.

It depends on the definition of Zionism.

The Oxford Dictionary definition is the establishment of a Jewish State in what is now Israel along with the protection of the existing State of Israel. So if you believe that the State of Israel has a right to exist then that makes you a Zionist. If you believe that the Jewish State of Israel should not exist then that makes you an anti Zionist.

90% of British Jews believe Israel has a right to exist in its current form.

So in answer to your question being anti Zionist is 90% the same as being anti semetic.

It is amusing and transparent isn’t it, oh and cringy.

I think its brilliant that he's multilingual and celebrate the fact that he can give a speech in arabic. It may not be a sign of particular intelligence, but a reflection of his background though. I've known some bloody stupid multilingual people.

The air is measurably cleaner.

Since when was Corbyn "young"?

That’s not how that works at all.

Zionism has evolved to be the belief that Israel has the right to take land from other countries in order to expand. I do not believe that that is true. Does that make me anti semitic? No. I believe that Israel has the right to exist. But that doesn’t mean they have the right to act as they have been.

In any event, he won by nearly 20% in Brooklyn, which is one of the largest Jewish boroughs of New York.

Do we not want educated, multilingual leaders ? I would say being capable of speaking more than one language is a major plus in anyone

YES! It’s crazy; I just roll my eyes. The agenda is so transparent and fucking dull.

It’s the fact they’re now trying to say that disagreeing with Jewish people is antisemitism.
