"Making shoes.." Archived Message Posted by Gerard on February 29, 2020, 11:05 am, in reply to "Oh dear..." I mean what I say about Assange.....this place has a habit of navel gazing that I oft try to counter..Yes I support the man but I try to contextualise his situation (as I do with that of many others), it matters not a whit to me whether you have posted on the subject of Assange's incarceration before or not, others have....he is in danger of becoming a cause celeb(re), if you take my meaning,... I feel the same about the way the Palestine and Anti-Semitism issues are treated.. Greta is 17 now yes..but still a minor...for goodness sake if you've got a beef aim your remarks at the "appropriate adults"..and don't just choose to respond to the bits of my post over which you believe you may be able to establish a "leverage of consensus"...What did I actually say? In does not help the Palestinians, Assange or any other cause to make them fashion accessories for the "corrected" politico..the semi-professional activ-ist...for when the wider body politic is sick the organs will only recover if the whole patient is treated...
