Yes, it is staggering, isn't it? Perhaps if some irrespinsoble dipshits hadn't made the accusation, he wouldn't have to refute it.On Friday evening, Jeremy Corbyn tried to persuade Britain’s Jewish community, via the Guardian, that the Labour party is not a threat to their life in Britain. It is staggering that a Labour leader should feel compelled to make such a claim...
This is the result of more than two years of scandalous antisemitic behaviour within Labour, and of Corbyn’s failure to deal with it. There have been regular (and often unpunished) examples of antisemitism from Labour members. There was the failure to expel Ken Livingstone for his repeatedly offensive remarks. Shami Chakrabarti’s report on antisemitism in the party was widely perceived to be a whitewash. Party officials obstructed disciplinary cases. There have been antisemitic outbursts at national executive committee meetings and antisemitic slurs in Corbyn-supporting Facebook groups. Throughout it all, a passive party leader sat, watching and doing nothing.
I mean, that would be the only bit that even raises an eyebrow and would be under Corbyn's control (IMHO), but for a fair comparison we should be checking the Labour transcripts against those from, say, the Tories and UKIP. I wonder which group of MPs is going to be the most free and easy with the racial and ethnic slurs? hmm....WorKid wrote:....

There was a strong sense among MPs here that they are so very, very tired of Johnson that they can’t even be bothered being artful about it. “As far as I’m concerned,” Henley MP John Howell reflected, “Boris can just fuck off.” The Scottish Tories have launched a campaign to stop him becoming party leader, under the name Operation Arse. As one put it: “We called it that so we’d be clear who we were talking about.” Asked what the big challenge for the Tories was, the former minister Lord O’Neill judged: “I guess key people in this party have to stop being dickheads, really.”
