I'm seeing this "criticising the city/bankers is antisemitic" trope more and more these days. I've even seen people saying being "anti-capitalist" at all is antisemitic. even centrist music journalists are at it
surely assuming capitalists/evil city types are predominantly jewish is the actual antisemitism there but what do I know
― Colonel Poo, Monday, 30 September 2019 09:12 (four years ago) link
one things for sure, it’s a great way to avoid engaging with anticapitalist ideas

Jews getting the blame for both Capitalism and Communism, that's an old favourite.

it's *strange* how old AS tropes like protocols of elders of zion/the Judeobolshevik myth sort of cancelled each other out whilst many nazis were still happy to preach both of them

I came to Manchester for #CPC19. I had every intention of proudly representing millions of students across our country.

BBC News has just broadcast a clip of Boris Johnson responding to a question about whether he squeezed Charlotte Edwardes’ thigh at a Spectator lunch 20 years ago with a long and rambling reply about his plans to improve bus services.
Buses again, I swear there's something Freudian going on there.

ooo, scandal
Mary Wakefield, the Spectator journalist who is married to Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson’s chief of staff, has denied being the second woman at the lunch attended by Charlotte Edwardes 20 years ago who was groped by Johnson. There was a rumour that she was the second woman referred to in Edwardes’ Sunday Times column but not named.

Nah, she’s not the other woman but I have it on very good authority that she had good cause to stay out of his reach.
