The report was commissioned by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and led by Penny Mordaunt and Lord Mann (both long established champions of Israel and recipients of funding). They express concern about an increase in perceived antisemitism and recommend training and education to counter it.
Surprise surprise they make no mention of the impact that Israel’s actions in Gaza are having on public opinion.
The political class are so out of touch with the British public. There must surely be a reckoning.
Now there’s a key point. The Beeb gets a kicking for not making clear the background of those involved in making programmes that question the treatment of Palestinians. The kicking being prompted and led by the Israeli lobby.
On the other hand the Corporation accepts a range of politicians being wheeled out to support Israel and its actions against in Gaza. Nowhere do they get asked why they don’t point out that those self same politicians are frequently signed up “Parliamentary Friends of Israel Groups” and have received significant funding from Israeli lobby groups.
I’m surprised it hasn’t happened before. So many clubs appear to view players as assets to be exploited and then dumped when no longer needed. The same mentality that leads to the Club World Cup farce in the US.
If you have 10 years or more to retirement you should consider moving all into a SIPP. You can then invest in a low cost tracker, probably two trackers. S&P 500 and FTSE All share can be very low cost and are liquid investments.
Beware managed funds with charges! The majority with their high charges fail to match trackers. If you do go for a managed consolidated fund make sure you check their performance against a low cost tracker at regular intervals. MOST MANAGED FUNDS UNDERPERFORM THE MARKET.
In the US there has always been huge amounts of funding for men’s College sports team. A legal challenge re. Equal rights for women reasonably enough required the Colleges to equalise the funding. This has led to a huge surge in funding of women’s sport at US Colleges so much so that a lot of money has gone into women’s and girls football in the US.
France look quite sharp England look like a side full of players past their best and short of a yard in every confrontation. Women’s football has moved on. England haven’t.
I have to hope that every British MP has also watched it and examined his or her conscience on the question of why our Govt. continues to turn a blind eye to the blatant atrocities being perpetrated in the name of Israel. I fail to understand why the British people are accepting their craven responses.
I’ll take your word for that but it is a far more nuanced debate than you allow. What age do they arrive, how many years will they work, how healthy are they, what is the economic benefit of them doing a job that a resident Brit might refuse to do, etc. etc. However, I can see where you’re coming from.
I think your logic is flawed. Just because a working immigrant might be lower paid does not make it harder to pay my pension. An extra worker albeit perhaps lower paid still contributes tax and national insurance. There used to be roughly four working age individuals to every pensioner. There are now approximately three. Workers today need all the help they can get to keep me in the style to which I have grown accustomed.
The employment rate of the Population aged 16 to 64 has barely changed over the the past fifty years. it sits at around 75% (Office for National /statistics). So if we are getting swamped with unskilled immigrants it appears that they have no significant impact on the numbers and they find employment just as actively as established brits.
In addition they do add to the number of workers and their taxes get to help pay my pension.
