  • A good question to ask would be; is a member of the Labour Party more or less likely to be an antisemite than a member of the general population. Id guess less.

    I have no doubt that some antisemites are trying to find a home in the labour party but the scale of the problem is unclear and they do not seem to be successful. As highlighted by the amount of negative attention attempts receive.

  • Given the outright racism expressed by kippers and cons I'd posit the problem in the Labour Party is much smaller than in the other parties.

    People can't get all moany about the Labour Party being branded anti-Semites, then go and assert that UKIP and Conservatives are.

    @dst - True, it would be interesting. But the real question is whether there is a systemic problem with anti-Semitism in the Party, and if there is has it been allowed to be fostered by the those in charge?

    It's hard to control who supports you. But you can control who leads you (or you should be able to).

    The Ken Loch interview was interesting as to me it shows an agenda by the interviewer with lashings of spin. Equally I'm calling BS on never having "heard a single anti-Semitic word or racist word."
