Re: Ninety peers call for Baroness Tonge to issue unqualified apology for blaming Corbyn defeat on Israe Archived Message Posted by Mary on December 15, 2019, 11:02 pm, in reply to "Ninety peers call for Baroness Tonge to issue unqualified apology for blaming Corbyn defeat on Israe" There is previous similar history on Jenny Tonge. When Cleggover was LD leader and deputy PM in the coalition with the Tories, he applied pressure on her to resign for criticizing Israel. The same treatment was given by Clegg to David Ward, LD MP for Bradford East. 'In July 2013, he was suspended from the Liberal Democrats Parliamentary party until September 2013, after questioning the continuing existence of the state of Israel and refusing to apologise for his remarks.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ward_(British_politician) She is a remarkable person, a doctor, who took over the care of her grandchild after her daughter was electrocuted accidentally. Tim Llewellyn left the BBC when he was their ME correspondent for their pro Israel bias, wrote this letter in support of her. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/mar/06/israel-clegg-tonge-libdem-whip Tony Greenstein, Garda Khami and another contributor also supported her. Their letters follow. Tim Llewellyn https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/jun/20/israel.broadcasting I don't have any news of him. People of honour unlike Clegg now on Facebook's payroll on a £multi million salary. https://news.efinancialcareers.com/uk-en/326263/nick-clegg-facebook-salary Message Thread: Ninety peers call for Baroness Tonge to issue unqualified apology for blaming Corbyn defeat on Israe - johnlilburne December 15, 2019, 10:17 pm Re: Ninety peers call for Baroness Tonge to issue unqualified apology for blaming Corbyn defeat on Israe - Mary December 15, 2019, 11:02 pm Jenny's always had a bit of courage with the Israeli thing, respect (nm) - Ed December 15, 2019, 11:44 pm Because she's such a fearless, uncompromising supporter of the Palestinians, - Laurie December 16, 2019, 12:54 am 28 liberal MPs voted to recognise Palestine OCT 2014 - George Brennan December 16, 2019, 5:29 pm   Searching
