The rust belt
Hi All,
Another similarity between the UK and America is that it is the rust belt wot won it . In America the rust belt is the area of America which had booming 20th century heavy industries and mining, but are nowadays struggling with the globalisation of the post cold war era. In the past these blue collar , " lower middle and working class " as we would say, areas would be heavily democratic , but have recently swung republican or at least Trump.
Likewise last week the Conservatives won in the English North and Midland area, places where the left Labour party was dominant, e.g. Durham, alongside the rural areas and suburbs.. Not now, given the losses, is Labour a party of the north, but of big cities and greater London.
Like the democrats in America, Labour has all but abandoned- as it did with us Jewish voters- its traditional working class vote in favour of middle class woke, extremist climate activists, London's remainers and student style radical socialism. Stuff that's like a bucket of sick in traditional working class areas.
Yet as the Labour party grapples with its defeat , the party wants to blame everyone but themselves. I guess they're channelling Marx and the "false consciousness ".

On my fag packet
Dudes,
Back in Blighty and noticed this on my fags:
"Smoking can kill your unborn child"
Hmmm....
Did I get that right? I thought that this should read "smoking can kill your foetus?"
Smoking can kill your unborn child. But abortion only kills a foetus?
Discuss.

All we need to know
Hi All,
Lol !
We cannot afford to let a raving socialist, Israel hater , antisemitic apologist and terrorist apologist anywhere near 10 Downing Street.
As the Jewish Chronicle front page said:
Link here.
To my mind someone who supports the disastrous socialist regimes of Cuba and Venezuela, who calls Hamas- whose charter wishes to exterminate Jews- "friends" - and who hates the great/ special/ essential alliance with our true friends and allies in the United States of America is utterly unfit to be Her Majesty's Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury.
It's got to be Boris:

Food for a birthday party
Dudes
It's the wife birthday Sunday. My thoughts are the following for food courses for the birthday party :
1)Olives and bread
Black and green olives with rustic bread , drizzled with olive oil
2) Chicken liver Pate
Chopped chicken liver , sauteed with garlic and onion , served with toast and chutney
3) Oeuf Poché Meurette
Classical French cuisine with a twist:Poached egg in red wine sauce, baby onions , shallots , mushroom pate , turkey bacon and toast.
4a) Chraime
Sea bream, carrots, onion, cooked in a hot spicy chilli tomato based Jewish north African sauce ( think madras or vindaloo for spice strength)
Or
4b) Fish and chips
Hand battered fried cod , chips (not fries!) , mushy peas, your choice of sauce .
4c) Lamb Tagine
Lamb shank, apricots, honey, almonds , garlic , shallots, cooked for hours in a traditional tagine.
Or vegetarian
Mixed leaf salad with your choice of
Salmon
Halloumi fries (it's a Greek rubbery cheese , best friend)
Mushrooms
Hard boiled Eggs
Or Some recycled cardboard and Vegetables (i.e. vegan / extinction rebellion option)
5) Mint and Mellon
Mint on a bed of Chopped cubes of yellow and water melon
6) Champagne sorbet
Exactly wit it says
7) Cigars, cigarettes and brandy
'Nough said
What do you folks think? Is my Sous Chef up to the challenge?
