For Umuna it was about Brexit, again perfectly understandable. Tom Watson nails it Nails what? He's another one peddling the line about antisemitism in the Labour Party without actually explaining where or what it is? He's on a par with Corbyn for being fucking useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the actual fuck are you talking about? He resigned after being suspended for two years. He had been making anti Semitic comments for thirty years before that. It’s definitely not the case you want to use to support your view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was suspended for 2 years and pushed out shortly after his return. It was clear at the time the resignation wasn't voluntary. Yet its also proof Labour is antisemitic under Corbyn? If he'd been making those comments for 30 years why werent any previous Labour leaders hammered for leading an anti Semitic party too? We are going to have too agree to disagree on this one Edited February 18, 2019 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the fiasco over the implementation of the IHRA. It’s not like you have to look too hard to find these examples. It’s honestly amazing that you’ve missed literally all the accusations of antisemitism over the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5176 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Obviously I feel that it's a bullshit narrative pulled out of almost thin air to discredit Corbyn at a time when very little else was working. Doesn't mean it shouldn't have been stamped out as a lipservice move as any other political party would do.

Renton 21295 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Derek Hatton has rejoined and Galloway expected to. Well done you Corbynistas, youve given the keys of the party to the lunatics and utterly destroyed any notion of an opposition this country had. Dont say you weren't warned.

It’s obvious that these antisemitic nutters you speak of are on the rise though. J69 called for evidence - all you need to do is look at Twitter, and Labour, my political party, the party of tolerance, hasn’t done enough to make these people feel their voice has no place. just when Corbyn’s lack of leadership couldn’t sound more gobsmacking, Luciana Berger reveals he hasn’t spoken to her for 14 months. Is it any surprise she couldn’t bring herself to support him in public after over a year of the silent treatment? What a berk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4371 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think Berger has been a true victim and I fell sorry for her but I'd make the point that random cunts on twitter aren't necessarily party members or officials. Some NUFC fans post horrific racist and other bigoted shite but I think holding the club to account is expecting a bit much - though I would expect complaints against ST holders to be followed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4371 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It's bad publicity but I'm sure there are plenty of other members as or more extreme. I do honestly think the party should be a broad church but people who actively say they'd rather have a tory government than a Labour one led by Corbyn have no place. As I said yesterday rejecting a moderately left wing manifesto they benefitted from in terms of their majorities is a bit much without calling a by-election.

I'd rather have a tory government led by a moderate wet like Clarke or Major than a Labour one under Corbyn. There, I said it. Not May or any of her likely replacements though. I cannot see Corbyn being anything other than a complete disaster, not that he will ever be in power. I support the 7, Hatton can fuck off and die.

Renton 21295 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 As for Galloway, the fact he is even being considered just re-emphasises the antisemitic movement in the party. There is no chance Corbyn will clear up his act regarding this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15401 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I like to think that power and the reality of actually having to do things would force the Corbyn wing to compromise in ways that they don't have to when they're in opposition.

Those manifesto policies poll extremely well on their own terms so describing them as extreme shows how far right the goal posts have been moved.
