I don't know whether this columnist has just made this up for the sake his opinions, or whether its been seriously mentioned elsewhere. Would be an intriguing platform for him to take the fight to Starmer though and probably make a lot of Londoners very happy (being honest).

I don’t know why it’s so hard to accept with grace the findings of the EHRC that “unlawful acts of discrimination and harassment” occurred, or of the Forde report that Labour under Corbyn “did a disservice to those experiencing antisemitism”.

Wake up, smell the coffee and promise to do better would go down far better with the electorate than continued denial in the face of damning evidence. Not my party though, so if Labour want to continue to self-implode over the issue, that’s their business (but to the detriment of all of us while they continue to facilitate the Tories).

Badger is talking out of his harris though.

If he really thought Corbyn was an antisemite he would be hounding Starmer and Labour for not expelling him from the party. But of course he isn't ...

He's just a scammer.


what you prove again and again and again is the lengths people will go to to deny racism when it's politically convenient. what a world.

Yep. Currently live in Finsbury Park and Corbyn is my MP.
"Now have a property and a vote in London," sounds like you don't actually live here? Or just weirdly worded?


Carefully worded!
I live in London some of the time, and it is my main home.
I have owned a place in London for over 40 years, but I spent 6 years out of the country during those 40 years, and I always travelled a lot for work, but London was always my real home.

Corbyn a racist though?


I've got to ask because it's bugging me.

I did see a number of posters saying for quite some time that although they didn't believe Corbyn was himself racist they were disappointed, then increasingly angry, that he appeared too soft to act on the accusations.

Which is a stance I understand because he does come across as a bit wet and naïve and reluctant to act. Given his laid back attitude to everything and seemingly seeing no potential harm where others have ripped their hair out with frustration, I was under the impression he was simply too passive for his own good.

So the implication seemed to be that rather than being directly complicit, he was indirectly complicit by not taking proper action.

Since then people openly call him racist. Even some of the same people

My open question is, what changed and when?

You make this point extremely well. As I’ve said before he’s handled this issue very poorly and the blame lies with him and him alone. I don’t for one moment believe he’s a racist but he has failed to deal with those who clearly are.

People accusing Corbyn of racism have gone full George Orwell.

“Oceanic society rests ultimately on the belief that Big Brother is omnipotent and that the Party is infallible. But since in reality Big Brother is not omnipotent and the party is not infallible, there is need for an unwearying, moment-to-moment flexibility in the treatment of facts. The keyword here is BLACKWHITE. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to BELIEVE that black is white, and more, to KNOW that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary.”

― George Orwell, 1984

Life long antiracist is now a racist.

It’s worrying, I think there are those in society who are broadly antisemitic who possibly hide behind a politically convenient stance so they cannot be directly called out for it. It’s an extremely dangerous position and one which seems to be gaining ground in the uk and across the globe. By ignoring it we are enabling it.

I’ve no time whatsoever for Corbyn. His view of the world is different to mine and for me, showed zero leadership abilities in his time as Labour leader.

However, I’ve never thought him a racist and would never call him one. While he was leader, he was of course accountable for what happened within his party, but that is a separate issue to what he is as a person.

As for London Mayor, apart from making a bit of noise and promoting bicycles, what do they actually do? I know Johnson raised his head above the publicity parapet in advance of the London Olympics, but only when he realised it might be a success. What I happen to know for certain was that his involvement in planning, organising any aspect of it was precisely nil. Nothing. Zippo.

Interesting...

1. ...that Jeremy Corbyn isn't to be seen anywhere in this video.

2. ...that the two comments under it say "Do try and stop calling everybody who you disagree with a “Nazi” . It’s rather dim witted." and "This is propaganda."

3. ...that when you click on the Searchlight link there's no such page. And even when you put James Thring in their search box nothing comes up.

4. ...that this video, put together by someone called "AntiFascist Campaigner", is the only video on their YouTube channel. Not much of a campaigner then!

Once again your 'evidence' is flimsy at best.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.
