Current Affairs The Labour Party

[The binman chronicles]

They just love putting anti-semitism headlines up don't they. Don't see why Corbyn didn't just say I apologise to anyone that doesn't think he did enough and has strengthened the party's internal disciplinary process to ensure no group or individual feels let down by the labour party again. And then immediately go on the attack of the Tory parties issues with Islam.

Andrew Neill asked him several times to do just that, and he wouldnt. I dont care one way or the other, but it doesnt half come across very poorly.

If you dont see the hysterical claims as confected and easily dismissible, then you may have been taken in by them...which is the exact purpose of their BS. I'll see it for what it is: utter 'kin bunkum.

I think there is a strand of anti globalisation and anti-Israel that very quickly buys into tropes about Jewish people. I don’t think Corbyn etc share this view and of course Tories are using this when they couldn’t give a damn about the Jewish community in the UK but I do believe there are parts of the Labour Party which have a problem with it. Wether it’s as large scale is one question but I’m prepared to believe people who say they’ve felt it and seen it.

This anti-semitism smear campaign is disgraceful. Corbyn is a man that has fought racism his whole life.

Right wing press influencing the vote, as usual.

A lot of it is, but responding to the genuine beliefs that some people have developed as the result of four years of this with the sort of statements that they have also been told are the same sort of thing they should be worried about is just blundering into the trap that has been set.

After all, people who read the JC and the other community papers have been told since Miliband became leader that Labour was not a party to be trusted; just dismissing those concerns without identifying them and explaining the background behind them is daft.

 

[orly]

Yikes, he's absolutely butchered that answer with Neil.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Imagine having some tit like Starmer...the Miliband years revisited.

Tories and their paper owner pals, had Milliband father in 2015 down as the most dangerous Jew to ever come and live in the UK... A man who actively fought against Nazi Germany, they are rather sick minded these Tories

It easily feeds into an anti-zionist stance...which is a different (and credible) position.

They're not genuine. They are manufactured.

The people of Jewish Labour Voice will tell you that much.

Exactly. It's just opoprtunistic BS designed to undermine a good man.

Bollocks to Rabbi big gob; bollocks to his agenda.

 

[Eggs]

We've been over this before mate: I was right and you were wrong.

...really? If you’re right, Labour will do fantastically well in the GE. If I’m right they won’t.

The point is that people believe them, though. Just dismissing them as a fiction won't wash at all.

Hang about, that's exactly what he and his party did. Tory Islamophobia just doesn't sell as many papers or get as many clicks.

People need to understand that it won't go away unless Corbyn resigns or renounces his support for Palestine.

Bet my house it'll disappear overnight when he does.

Well a senior MP, let alone a potential PM who doesnt realise that issuing Government bonds isnt debt/borrowing, is frankly, stupid.
