So the part I quoted previously from the Labour Party
Quote:

The worst cases of antisemitism in our party have included Holocaust denial, crude Jewish-banker stereotypes, conspiracy theories blaming Israel for 9/11 or every war on the Rothschild family, and even one member who appeared to believe that Hitler had been misunderstood.
is just a witch-hunt?

Depends who wrote it, whether they were actively searching for items like that, and how they interpreted it to suit an agenda . . is my guess :p:

really?! a blind man could find examples. I'm assuming the 25 people in this story had displayed no anti-Semitic behaviour.

I take it you're a member of the "it's all just a conspiracy against cuddly Corbyn" crowd?

One respondent who listed 22 examples of antisemitic abuse at party meetings where he was called “child killer”, “Zio ****”, and “Tory Jew” as well as being told “Hitler was right” and that he was “good with money”.
Another who witnessed a comment at a ward meeting that “the only reason we have prostitutes in Seven Sisters is because of the Jews”.
One member reported that other members defended an individual when they said it was “over-representation of Jews in the capitalist ruling class that gives the Israel-Zionist lobby its power”.
A parliamentary candidate who described a councillor being told by a fellow member to go home and count their money after being deselected.
A speaker at a fringe event at the 2017 Labour conference asserting the right to discuss whether the Holocaust happened.
One respondent reported that the membership secretary in South Tottenham, north London, objected to 25 applications for membership from the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, and required home visits to these prospective members’ houses.

Also Corbyn defending that mural which was blatantly anti-semitic to anyone who studied GCSE History and dealt with Nazi propaganda.

I agree with you on this, Pierre. I'm astonished that anyone with web access could entertain another view, the point has been proved far too many times.

Sir Keir Starmer's name has rather rude meaning in Iran - causing 'linguistic dilemma'

Sir Keir Starmer’s election as leader of the Labour party has been lost in translation – because his name reportedly means “bell-end” in Iran.


:shrug: It means the same here ;)

Don't think you can blame Corbyn for that. Strange how those desperate to find anything on him turn a blind eye to Boris comparing Muslim women to letterboxes....

Anyway thought this thread was about Sir Keir Starmer ?

Well, burkas are not exactly flattering, are they Mr K? You know the context in which he said that, let's not go over that nonsense again.

I used to look like a penguin in my suit. If someone said I looked like a penguin, would I be offended? We need to lighten up.

Yes, this is about Sir Keir Starmer. It was you who raised Boris and his letterbox speech. Sir Keir is a welcome replacement for Corbyn, and although I doubt he will win the next election, at least we won't all be scared to death about the threat of descending into some kind of Venezualan nightmare.

When this grave national crisis is eventually over, and politics once again returns to the fore the Conservatives are going to find that the 5 years when there was no opposition at all apart from Trotsky Corbyn and his comrades and where there was no alternative to the governing party will have come to an abrupt end.
