I just don't see the dogwhistle
Of course you don’t, your brain has been rotted by partisanship.
Corbyn pronounced Epstein funny and y’all were like this man is a disgusting antisemite but Labour put out an attack ad linking an Asian man to pedo loving and suddenly you’re all well actually there are subtle distinctions to be had here on the matter of the subcontinent.
The ad has been roundly condemned as being vile from all quarters. Fuck me, even David Blunkett has come out and rebuked it. If you want to wallow in filth then fine, but at least have the honesty to admit that you’re a pig.
edit: even Yvette Cooper is distancing herself from it, and you don’t get much more ‘sensible chap’s boner’ than Yvette Cooper.
Eejit-

I think if you have to accuse the other side of bad faith that's a simple admission that don't have a decent counterargument, so you can call me bad faith as much as you want. It's a compliment I'll take.
Corbyn pronounced Epstein funny
And compared Israel to Nazis on holocaust memorial day in 2018. And went on Iranian state TV to accuse, without evidence, 'the Hand of Israel' of instigating an Islamic terror attack in Egypt which killed 16 people. And shared an antisemitic mural by a conspiracy theorist. And invited Read Salah - spreader of the blood libel and the conspiracy theory that Jewish people did 9/11 - for 'tea' in the house of commons. And wrote the foreword to imperialism without mentioning that it's a key conspiracist tract which believes that the press and financial institutions are 'in the hands of Jews'. And attended a wreath laying ceremony for, among others, Salah Khalaf of the 1972 Munich massacre. And acted as an international convenor of the Just World Trust at a time when they were defending the holocaust denier Roger Garaudy. And called Hezbollah and Hamas 'friends'. And spoke alongside Leila Khaled who was involved in TWO separate terrorist attacks at a conference organised by George Galloway in 2011.

Funny that, isn't it?
You can make the comparison between one campaign of attack ads from Starmer, and Corbyn's lifelong career of excusing, endorsing, and failing to spot antisemitism, but I don't think it's a comparison that helps your point in the least.

I just don't see the dogwhistle, and I don't think the above tweet admits culpability of any such thing.
Sunak isn't Pakistani. He's not Muslim. I understand the dog whistle people say is there, I just don't see it.
Wanting paedophiles jailed is not a far right position. Defending mitigations for paedophiles is not an election winning prospect.
