Am I understanding this correctly?

Codswallop is a word much underused, the youth of today with their rising Australian tonation and every other word being 'like' could do with a little codswallop.

Innit like

I hope so - I never liked him.

I've met him, he's as big a prat in person as he is in the adverts, jumped up bank clerk with celebrityitis.

Anyway, Historical Jewish loan sharking is a well known thing (not to other Jewish people of course, only for non Jews)

It is historically correct that, for a number of centuries, Jewish people in Europe worked predominantly in the financial services industry (aka loan sharking), but this was because the Gentiles prohibited them from any other form of commercial activity. As is normally the case when racial prejudice is allowed to be enshrined in law, the lawmakers were still happy to obtain loans from those legislated against.

Those worthy citizens also had the added protection that, when markets crashed and they couldn't repay their debts, they could instead raise a pogrom and have their creditors slaughtered by the mob.

Now there is something almost worth enshrining in Law!

What's wrong?? ...

It's sad that you really don't know. Perhaps you'd like to discuss the Protocols of Zion, how the holocaust didn't really happen; or perhaps less controversial topics, like big noses.

Islam isn't a race. It's a choice of religion. Ergo - not racism.

What's wrong?? If I replaced Jewish with Muslim /Scotish / whatever, they you'd found that funny, but mentioning Jesish always causes outrage!!!

How many racist posts agains Muslims we have had on this board?? now one seemed to be bothered or shocked.

I wonder if the predictable and silly outrage at any form of criticism of the Jews has anything at all to do with their near-extermination by Hitler's psychotic regime just a few decades ago? Tsk! They're just so jumpy about it, aren't they?
