Re: Corbyn Antisemitism Row

As it is being shifty and evasive makes him look as if he supports anti semitism - I doubt if he does in reality on the other hand this is a man who consorted with murderes.

Could all be linked to the forthcoming Government Anti-Muslin Hate Crime due to be published in the autumn.

https://www.gov.uk/government/groups...-working-group

" The Anti-Muslim Hatred Working Group works alongside the Cross-Government
Working Group on Tackling Antisemitism and the Independent Advisory Group on
Hate Crime to advise the Government on tackling hatred and ensure policies meet
the needs of communities.
We are now looking to appoint new Independent Members to join the Working Group
with expertise that will help the group achieve its goals.
The Government is committed to tackling all forms of hatred, and the Hate Crime
Action Plan published in 2016 details our plans to combat hate crime based on
someone’s race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.
The Cross-Government Working Group on Anti-Muslim Hatred supports the Hate
Crime Action Plan and the Group’s priorities are reflected in the plan. The Hate
Crime Action Plan is currently being refreshed and due to be published in early
Autumn 2018, and the input of the Working Group is an essential part of the
Government’s approach to combatting religiously motivated hatred.
Already the Working Group has achieved a lot, including research into some of the
factors underlying anti-Muslim hatred, work with IPSO on the portrayal of Muslims in
the media, collaborations with British Transport Police on their anti-hate crime
campaign, and highlighting the contribution and sacrifice of Muslim soldiers during
the First World War.
Independent Members have a unique opportunity to help shape Government policy
and make a tangible difference to tackling hatred against Muslims. They work with
officials from departments across Whitehall to meet a number of overarching priorities ."


I hope this also includes hate towards Christians too !

All this nastiness is because the Tories (and the New Labour Right as well)are coming more and more to realise they are going to lose the next election.
Any sort of smear, whether true or not will do.
Corbyn can't answer either way. If he says, yes the Labour party is full of anti-semites,( which isn't true), they will say we told you so. If he says no we have very few racists in the Labour party, they will say ,you are lying and must be racist yourself.

Re: Corbyn Antisemitism Row

The Conservatives are not the cause of Labour's problems. Labour and its behind the scene puppet masters is. Labour need to look to their own shortcomings first. They'll be blaming the Conservative party for the weather next.

Is that because she defended a child rapist when she was leader of Islington council along with Paul Foot who wrote for the Mirror at the time.

Re: Corbyn Antisemitism Row

Who the heck is Billy Bragg and where does he get off telling the Jews they have 'work to do 'in rebuilding their relationship with the Labour Party ?
