I agree. Unfortunately these behaviours tend to come packaged with such left-wing ideology. In any other organisation, be it a football team, an IT company, a charity etc the people/groups responsible for such appalling activities would be dismissed immediately on the grounds of "Gross Misconduct".
A political party should be no different.
It is not enough for Corbyn to simply verbally condemn this type of behaviour. He
must dismiss all Momentum and wider Labour party members involved and set a clear president. Of course he is unlikely to as the truth is, this is typical Marxist/Socialist militant behaviour.
His party has already been engaged in anti-Semitism and Corbyn has failed to address that too.
The man HAS to go.

There is no "Labour" at present. You have a 2 side party with massively differing ideologies and differing fundamental principles. They simply can not co-exist and the longer it goes on the more damage will be done and the further from being electable the party will be.
It is impossible at this juncture to even state clearly which side is actually The Labour Party. One side MUST oust the other and thereby show the nation which is which.
Essentially the nation is asking:
"Will the real Labour party please take 3 steps forward!"
