apologised unreservedly for his lack of due diligence.
Characterising it as lack of due diligence is exactly the problem. It just doesn't wash. Let's hope for the sake of the Labour party they actually take the problem seriously this time.
It certainly isn't just a Labour problem but none of the other main party leaders seem to have got themselves into the mess that JC has and even if they had it is no reason not to condemn him for it.
Well that's my tuppence worth. I'll stick to cheese puns from now on.
MrSweary-
take the problem seriously this time.
but that's it, isn't it? "they" are seen as everyone that isn't the established PLP, and instead of disabusing the electorate of the frankly easily falsifiable notion that labour = anti semitic, they (the majority of the PLP) choose to side all too readily with the finger pointers, one can only presume as an attempt to further undermine the leadership of the party they allegedly are representative of, as they view corbyn etc. as being unworthy of the position they feel is theirs by right.
hey ho. i do hope you, and others in this thread, see fit to hold your nose and vote labour regardless. christ knows i didn't the last time a labour government was in power.
there's folks out there who's lives / sanity are more important than your (or my) principles.

i don't think anyone is making excuses for the mural business, least of all corbyn, who's stated quite publicly that he was wrong and has apologised unreservedly for his lack of due diligence. it's rather telling that anti semitism seems to be framed as a problem limited to the labour party - it's patently not.
