You read the Guardian article, right? Does it really sound like business as usual? Genuine question.

Hundreds of complaints about alleged antisemitic comments by Labour members have been submitted over the last few years to the central party, which has struggled to cope with the volume. For example, 635 complaints were made in the first six months of 2019, which resulted in eight expulsions from the party during that time period.

I have no idea, it certainly sounds awful but I don’t know if that is business as usual, as I don’t know if that is a normal level of complaints for a mainstream political party to receive.

It would be helpful if these articles included the number of complaints for alleged antisemitic comments for the other political parties. I’d also like to see the number of complaints for Islamaphobic comments too.

Racism is vile, I just find it difficult to believe that the issues that the Labour Party are reported to having, aren’t present in the other political parties.
