Moment of unity - over.
Remember when the right and left came together to voice our joint disgust over the London attacks? Remember the amazing display of confidence and resolve displayed by the very left-wing London Mayor Ken Livingstone?
“I can tell you now that you will fail in your long-term objectives to destroy our free society.”You might be less enamored of Ken's Churchillian rhetoric if you knew that such tactics were OK if you targeted Jews:
"Given that the Palestinians don't have jet planes, don't have tanks, they only have their bodies to use as weapons," Livingstone told Sky News in an interview.If you ever believed Ken Livingstone was a douchebag, and have since wavered from that point of view, please waver right on back. Turns out he's still a douchebag.
"In an unfair balance, that's what people use," said Livingstone, who has often been strongly critical of Israel in the past.
