That Corbyn fella...

Brian: "we must unite against the common enemy!"
(In unison): "The Judean People's Front!"
Brian: "No no no! The Romans"

How old is that film?

Thanks for letting me know what I should find racist to me. It's great to continue to be gaslit by too many of the heroic left who claim to stand for one thing but are currently betrayed by their words and actions .

Waits to hear 'yeah but I've got loads of Jewish friends'

No need to wait

I have several Jewish friends who are just as sure.

I’m too fucking angry over people fracturing the left at a time when we need unity.

Best way to create unity probably isn't a personal attack about a Jewish Labour MP without context mid way through a discussion about anti-Semitism in the labour party, and then trading insults with the Jewish guy that called you out on it. You can see how that could at least look dodgy, dispite what you intended right?
I'm no fan of Hodge, and think Corbyn as been vilified for a lot of things that just aren't true and have no problem with what he said the other day. Maybe you need to look at what you wrote a bit and say "no guys, you're right, that choice of words in that place at that time did look like anti-Semitism, I 100% didn't mean that, I mean more fuck what she's been saying and doing in relation to this, don't you agree?"

OK ... what do you think the outcome of the EHRC report was? Would be helpful for others to hear what they might be misreading or overlooking instead of just blind faith claims that Hodge's position and claims were wholly vindicated by the report.

What does the report say?

The report highlights “serious failings in the antisemitism complaint handling system”, “significant failings in the way the Labour Party has handled antisemitism” and “serious failings in leadership”.

The report finds:

• “A clear breakdown of trust between the Labour Party, many of its members and the Jewish community”;
  
• A culture that is “at odds with the Labour Party’s commitment to zero-tolerance of antisemitism”;
  
• Serious failings in leadership, processes and culture in dealing with antisemitism within the Party;
  
• Specific examples of unlawful harassment and unlawful indirect discrimination;
  
• “Clear examples” of inappropriate political interference in individual antisemitism cases;
  
• “An inadequate process for handling antisemitism complaints” across our Party;
  
• Inadequate resourcing of the complaints process and poor record-keeping;
  
• A failure to deliver adequate training for all those responsible for investigating antisemitism cases; and
  
• Repeated failures to implement in full the recommendations of previous reports into antisemitism.
  
  

What are the key findings?

• Unlawful harassment through the acts of agents of the Party: the EHRC has found the Party to have breached the Equality Act 2010 by committing unlawful harassment of its members related to race (Jewish ethnicity) through the acts of its agents in two of the complaints they investigated.

• Unlawful indirect discrimination (political interference): the EHRC conclude that throughout the period they investigated, there was political interference in the handling of individual antisemitism complaints, and that this was indirectly discriminatory and unlawful.

• Indirect discrimination (training): the EHRC find that there was a failure to deliver adequate training to individuals responsible for handling antisemitism complaints and that this failure contributes to a lack of trust and confidence in the complaint handling system, meaning that this failure indirectly discriminated against Jewish Party members. However, the EHRC conclude that there is justification (for a period of six months from the date of their report) for the Party’s failure to provide practical training and so they do not currently make a finding that this is currently unlawful.

Aaaaand he's back.

Like a boomerang

Was there some kind of pro-Corbyn march in Finsbury Park today? Only caught a glimpse as I went past but that's what it looked like.

Just leaving this here

Might have been his batshit crazy brother again

Corbyn doing an interview with anti-Semitic fake news site, The Canary.

This imo is why it was right for Starmer not to restore the whip. Did we really think Corbyn would stop hanging around with these nutters, or stop doing the questionable things that got him in trouble in the first place?

anti-Semitic fake news site

?

Sorry, thought everyone knew.

Canary regularly publishes news stories minimising and denying antisemitism, as well as a proper doozy called "The Inconvenient Truths Which Prove It Is Not Anti Semitic To Compare Israel To Nazi Germany" - both anti-Semitic according to the IHRA definition.

Some more examples of minimisation: https://twitter.com/SFFakeNews/status/1105878919641735168

It promotes conspiracy theories which deny Bashar Al-Assad’s war crimes in Syria and Russia’s interference in the 2016 US presidential election: https://twitter.com/SFFakeNews/status/1130462945941610498
The Canary exploited the tragic suicide of a junior doctor for clicks and advertising revenue: https://twitter.com/SFFakeNews/status/1115297484820099074
Canary writer James Wright suggested the Equality and Human Rights Commission is controlled by “pro-Israel political agents”: https://twitter.com/SFFakeNews/status/1133650230367408128
Steve Topple, The Canary’s most prolific writer, has suggested that the Royal Family, IMF, and the media are all secretly Jewish: https://twitter.com/SFFakeNews/status/1111616704231157761
The site’s editor, Kerry-Anne Mendoza, was boycotted by the National Union of Journalists after she published reports attacking a Guardian reporter working in Nicaragua, despite warnings from the Committee to Protect Journalists regarding his safety: https://twitter.com/SFFakeNews/status/1109199973802000384

Also, in 2016 Labour member Bob Campbell was suspended after it emerged he had shared an image on Facebook of a rat with a Star of David on its back, captioned "The Real Plague". The Canary then did a piece saying this was not antisemitism but "criticism of Israel"

They're utter headbangers.

Thanks for this. What a shower of cunts.

Meanwhile, Tommy has been working on his entry for the Didn't Happen Of The Year Awards
