Oh, and the bloke who kept saying "I was a member of the Conservative party for 22 years; I was only in the National Front for 18 months and the press won't talk about anything else".

Reminded me of the joke with the punch line "and you f*** one sheep"; some of it was very (unintentionally) funny!

None of which are a race. Anti-US and Anti-Iseali positioning on the left are common, given the anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist stances common on the left (arguably the Left tends to be more pro-Palestine than anti-Israeli).

Witht the US being the most aggressively pro-capitalist nation its hardly surprising that the left wing, has a anti-US bias - It'd be like criticising the US as racist because it had an Anti-Soviet agenda in the 1980s.

Anti-Israeli is a phrase you tend to mix up with the idea of criticising occupation of Palestine and the subjucation of the rights of the Palestinian people.

Christianity - Well given Marxism is an anti-religeous movement - its hardly surprising that Western Leftists aren't supporters of Christainity. You could look at the support of Christian organisations for Governments around the world that have systematically suppressed Left wing movements (most notably in South America).

You seriously think that is going to be the case? Deluded.

It has always been a world city, you can't name a time when London was not associated with immigrants; whether Huguenots, Jews, or Poles, etc.

Na....I'm not having the idea that sections of the left aren't anti Israeli. The stuff I've heard has frequently gone over the time.

Being anti capitalist isn't the same as being anti US. Many on the left dislike Americans because of the perceived cultural plus social political difference.
