Current Affairs The Labour Party

[tsubaki]

The average U.K. voter gives as much of a toss about Labour labelled antisemitism as the do about Tory Islamophobia, homophobia or transphobia.

It’s all bollocks and cheap political attempts at point scoring.

The problem is that the opinion of the average UK voter is irrelevant.

It looks like there is a specific problem with those activists at that meeting, I don't think that it's widespread as it was with Corbyn, certainly a manic desire for it to be by those opposed to Labour. Its just not the true face of Labour and it will not be tolerated anymore.

Just wishful thinking by secret Tories all this Starmer has blown it, latest polling just out, is Sunak will be lucky to retain 80 seats.

Is it a bird?

Is it a Plane?

No, it's Dailymail man.

Big fan of being seemingly unconcerned about it being 'only' ethnic cleansing. Amazing.

In a debate with two Tory’s on Facebook who have started a post about antisemitism in the Labour Party.

I have asked them a direct question, did they have an issue with Islamophobia in the Tory party. They are accusing me of “whataboutery”.

I was just about to post this answer - is it too strong? I seek GOT approval

I’ll tell you what’s “whataboutery”
Voting for a party guilty of Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia and whipping up xenophobia, then pretending to care about antisemitism as a way of attacking the party you oppose.
It’s not fooling anybody, it’s a poor attempt at political point scoring and beyond contempt.

Very good mate. Trivialising ethnic cleansing tho, not amazing is it fella?

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

There's a danger here that any unguarded or ill-thought out comment, particularly if taken out of context, could wreck the careers of anyone aspiring to a future in politics. Pretty much every public meeting is recorded these days and what could have been passed off or denied in the past is now on record forever.

Being at a work meeting and thinking it OK to say 'f***ing Israel' seems highly unprofessional.

As you say, with technology capturing all kinds of moments there is no room for such things

Killing 28,000 mostly women and children is self defence.

Opposing it is antisemitic.

He’s walked into the trap that he’s set for himself. Starmer’s problem is he can’t think on his feet.
