Plea From Britain's Jews

[Khandro]

This is recorded in several papers, but I like Breitbart's best, because you get a free pic of Jeremy in his Kufiya.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of men wear a Kufiya including Jeremy Clarkson. Why have some folk have to make a mountain out of a molehill? Are all men on AB known for their sartorial elegance?

[Old_Geezer]

Well you can tell from my avatar that I am !

//Hundreds, if not thousands, of men wear a Kufiya//
Strange then that I have never seen one being worn other than on TV.

[maggiebee]

danny, you need to get out more! Common sight in the city I live in - both men and women.

[dannyk13]

maggie.I don't need to get to get out more.I am housebound, but in the years before this I was a police officer so probably got out far more than you.

[maggiebee]

Apologies danny, didn't know you were housebound. However, having said that I stand by my statement that thousands of people in Britain wear a Kufiya - it's a fashion statement these days.

[dannyk13]

For women, I would think. Also Corbyn is wearing his in front of a Gaza sign.

[Khandro]

It's obviously a Labour constituency

[Mozz71]

Does anybody really believe anything they read in Breitbart? Slightly worse than the Daily Mail, and that's not something I say lightly.

[maggiebee]

Sorry to disappoint Khandro, we are most decidedly SNP.

[dannyk13]

Mozz. That the item was published in Breibart is rather irrelevant as there is photo of the front page of the Jewish Chronicle which supports the story.

[Mozz71]

I mean it as a general rule of thumb Danny. It's the equivalent of believing something heard on Fox News.

[Khandro]

Wake up Moz, the plea it isn't in Breitbart it's in the Jewish Chronicle

[Khandro]

Moz. You must be a keen reader of Breitbart to know that, so you will have seen today's issue; https://www.breitbart.com/tag/united-kingdom/ and will be able to point out all the wrong information

[Ken4155]

When i finally decide where to put my 'X', the Jewish community will be the furthest thing on my mind. I doubt whether Mr and Mrs Cohen of Barnet give the likes of Ken4155 of Burnley-By-The-Canal any second thought when they cast their votes.

[Mozz71]

Khandro, stop being so damn belligerent. I've already stated I don't necessarily mean this article, just as a rule of thumb.

An extreme right leaning outlet will always spin their reports to cause maximum damage to the left, and visa versa.

I'd no more believe Breitbart than you would the Morning Star.

[Khandro]

Mozz; All journals put some kind of spin on the news - we all know that, but it's the predictable knee-jerk reaction by one or two on AB trying to virtue signal to anything from Breitbart that I find irksome.

Btw, it was Breitbart, earlier in the week, which seemed to be the only source (which I found) of the convictions in Huddersfield of yet another Pakistani rape gang while everyone else was obsessed with Brexit.

[david small]

Never see a Kufiya, never heard of the thing. I live amongst 160,000 souls, double that in summer. Still never seen said item ever....except on TV.

[retrocop]

Khandro
Forgive my ignorance . Is the Kufiya ,you refer to, the scarf that Corbyn is wearing in the photo. If so I have two similar but I call them Shemaghs (or is that something different?)

[THELOONYCORBYN]

"Khandro, stop being so damn belligerent."


Oh the irony....
