I actually reckon he might be a good PM..... on 13:56 - Jul 8 by The_Flashing_Smile | Nonsense. There's no way they could possibly keep him in the party if there was some actual evidence of antisemitism, regardless of what the left might think. If there were, and they didn't get rid of him, the Labour Party would lose all credibility. |
I can see why some people (who may or may not have an agenda) could read the Mear One mural FB comment as evidence of anti-Semitism. EDIT - which is not to say that I think it was, or that he is. I just think there is a level of subjectivity around one man's personal position, and was highlighting it. [Post edited 8 Jul 2022 14:07]

No. Didn’t read it in the EHRC report either. It seems as if your tolerance is negotiable though. |  |

I actually reckon he might be a good PM..... on 13:49 - Jul 8 by giant_stow | Whether Corbyn is a hard core jew hating racist seems to be a matter of opinion, rather than fact, hence the choice. I can see why he's got Corbyn as 'out' as he can, but no further. Also, if Corbyn were to stand as an independent and having a good name locally, i can see him winning against a labour candidate. |
I imagine in the real world its very unlikely a barrister like Starmer would turn a blind eye to having such a blatant racist in his party for a second. I don't think it's something he would turn a blind eye to for the good of the party. If he is doing this, then his ignoring of the blatant racism would make him almost as guilty as Corbyn himself. Or it could just be he doesn't think Corbyn is a racist... who knows |  | |  |

It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s what is objective and fair given the actual evidence and not giving credence to accusations without a base of evidence. Basic stuff. But then again I though zero tolerance was basic stuff and beyond party politics … |  |

Maybe I can draw you a picture? The brass neck of YOU of all people ...this absolute shambles of a government, the lies, the corruption, the incompetence, the law breaking... is on you. You championed these scumbags for years. All that guff about Corbyn - this country is in a far worse state than you could've ever DREAMED he would've done. That's without mentioning Brexit FFS! |

Evidence is subjective though, isn't it? In a court of law, or an internal investigation, or a TWTD thread, evidence is introduced, debated, discussed, thrown-out, doubled down on etc. etc. For some people, that FB comment was indisputably anti-Semitic. For others, a genuine mistake by JC with nothing meant behind it. Without an opportunity to get p!ssed with JC and talk about the materialist conception of history I will struggle to come to any conclusion myself, personally. Until that day I will give him the benefit of the doubt in lieu of an article in a newspaper perpetuating Jewish tropes (ala Johnson). |  |

The report doesn't state that JC is an anti-Semite, obviously it wouldn't - that's not what they were there to investigate. I really don't have a horse in this race FWIW, but having read that report (a while ago, granted), I didn't come away convinced JC is an anti-Semite. |  |

Oh I’m the “clown” eh. The report literally acknowledges un-investigated complaints (some within its own party) of anti semitism swept under the rug. Go ahead and defend that culture if you like though. |  | |  |

I said tolerance from the leadership. There was tolerance and certainly failure to deal with antisemitism complaints within the party machine and that’s backed up by the Labour leaks too. |  |

Re-reading it, it looks pretty awful. I am still unwilling to make what I consider a bit of a leap to conclude that JC is an anti-Semite. I don't suppose that really matters though, ultimately. Especially now. Why are we talking about this again?! |  |

The bit that I could never quite get my head round in the whole period of accusations is that there is clear evidence going back decades of support by Corbyn for women, black people, gay people, transgender people, muslims, the elderly .... He just comes across as this wonderful man who accepts absolutely everybody (to the point where a lot of black youths who hated all politicians and thought they were totally out of touch, actually embraced Corbyn) without prejudice, supporting and championing them all. Except Jews. A group famously persecuted. Who according to some he hates. WTF? I get that he may not have acted upon stuff he should have done, but how could a man so famous for being a champion for all humanity who has done all this tireless work to help so many and believe that we are all equal, then actively prejudice against this particular group. Makes zero sense. |  | |  |
