It's sometimes difficult to come in late on such lengthy and sensitive threads. Initially, on the face of it, it did indeed seem that a British Jew had been unacceptably discriminated against whilst going about their business. However, as more footage is coming to light, it is seemingly starting to smell a bit and is edging towards a manufactured situation. Either Mr Falter is genuinely in fear for his safety, or his need to be surrounded by "security" does question his intentions. If the purpose is to raise awareness of how precarious life can be for Jews around the UK, that has some merit, but if the intention is to be deliberately provocative, I'm not sure how that supports that cause. Regarding the interaction with the Police officer, I would imagine said officer is regretting the very clumsy language he's used, but having watched with interest the 13 minute version of the footage, I would have to say that I found the actions of the officer relatively composed throughout given the over riding circumstances of helping to manage a large march in a safe manner. I was also disappointed to hear Mr Falter has consistently referred to the Pro Palestine marches as hate marches. I haven't attended any of the marches so can't say with any certainty, but from what I've seen reported, other than relatively small instances of unacceptable behaviour, the marchers have conducted themselves in an appropriate manner. Be interesting to see how this story develops.
I'm not so sure. I thought we tried hard to win both games. We dominated large passages of play until both Watford and Boro decided to shut up shop and kill both games. It's inevitable the players felt some pressure, but I'm struggling to agree that they bottled it as you've suggested.
In the main I support what you say, but I went to two indie stores yesterday and both were packed. That has to be a good thing. Vinyl has always been my go to format and it goes hand in hand of my love of hi fi too. I think whether someone wants to buy the millionth version of Revolver (a fine album by the way!) on white vinyl, it comes down to choice. On a very long list of RSD releases, there was only one album I particularly wanted. I already have a copy, but this was expanded and at a decent price, so my choice to purchase. I will sell on my other copy. What bothers me more is those who buy up RSD releases and list them immediately on ebay at even more inflated prices.
Off to Lost in vinyl in Cambridge this morning. Got my eye on the expanded version of Osmium by Parliament. Not an RSD release, but also picking up the English Teacher LP.
