Massive challenge for Starmer and Rayner 13:25 - Apr 14 with 2325 views | Darth_Koont | The evidence of internal sabotage and sitting on antisemitism complaints seems to have enraged many of the members and campaigners who are the de facto Labour Party nowadays. And quite rightly too - they and the people in society who Labour are most keen to represent have been shamefully sold out. I'm supportive of Starmer and Rayner as they try to focus on the bigger issue of defeaing the Tory government and shifting public policy to a more equitable and sustainable place. But it's now important that they come down hard on these people and treat them like any other member or official who was guilty of enabling antisemitism. And the Labour right and their allies in the media and elsewhere need to suck it up and show that they have standards. |  |

Eh? That's just an illustrative example of what people are saying. I have not denied antisemitism among Labour Party and its supporters. It exists and it shouldn't be tolerated. But the same goes for the weaponisation of antisemitism. And you have not just been in denial about that but have been one of its scummiest perpetrators. |  |

You have no intention of reading it. Now there's a surprise. The 2019 election campaign was hampered by antisemitism allegations based around the handling of complaints prompting an investigation by the EHRC. And these scummy c@@@s engineered it! Not only that, they appeared on a fatally flawed Panorama hatchet job once they'd done it to complain about how bad the handling process was. With all due respect, get your head out of your @rse. |  |

Addressing the points made to you is not your style. Here's one for you to ponder and ignore: While Starmer is investigating this, the people who are accused of enabling antisemitism should be suspended, agreed? FWIW I'd also suspend and probably expel the person who leaked it for releasing people's private details at the same time. Two wrongs don't make a right, even if the thrust of the report still needs to be addressed. |  |

I've read a fair bit, yes. It adds detail and specifics to stuff that had already been discussed over the last year or so. I'm guessing you haven't read anything if you think it's about apologising for AS. It certainly doesn't do that. |  |

Based on whose ineffectiveness the report is addressing, that's a really bizarre takeaway. |  |

Despite living here most of my life, even I get the irony of somebody who has spent 4 years attacking me for banging on about the Labour Party being rife with antisemitism, is now talking up a Labour report that proves beyond doubt that the Labour Party was absolutely rife with antisemitism. Added irony being his defence of Chris Williamson and Pete Willsman, who have dozens of pages devoted to their Antisemitism in the report he is now applauding. |  |

but of course the real problem was the people who complained about the anti-semitism. the leaked report is just the last gasp of the corbyn regime as it tries pathetically to muddy the water ahead of the ehrc findings. blaming the people who highlighted the anti-semitism is pretty desperate but people like poor old dk have few straws left to cling to. |  |

FWIW I don't much agree with their take on Williamson's or Willsman's offences. The irony is you spending years parading a list of people (and their accusations) who slowly but surely reveal themselves to be untrustworthy. You know how I knew? Because I addressed the evidence you dodged so that you could weaponise this. Here's one of the self-hating Jews you dismissed. He gets you down to a T. |  |

Labour lawyers block the oarty submitting the report to the EHRC as they believed it would harm their defence. It’s the equivalent of a solicitor advising a guilty client not to give evidence at their own trial because it will do more harm than good. |  |

I believe the relevant parts to the antisemitism complaints process have been submitted - along with the improvements once McNicol and Matthews stopped ignoring AS complaints. It's the wider factionalism backstory that's irrelevant to the EHRC investigation. But crucial in seeing how awfully Labour politicians, officials, a complicit media and total online weapons like you have lied and smeared throughout. This isn't going away and I'm going to really enjoy seeing you squirm. |  |

The report you are lauding specifically says the accusations of antisemitism aren't smears. My point from day one has been that Labour is rife with antisemitism. The report you are lauding agrees with me. |  |

you're missing the point. whether it happened or not is neither here or there. the people who refused to brush it under the carpet only did that because they were disloyal to jeremy. |  |

Nobody sensible ever said there weren't legitimate complaints of antisemitism in Labour and among the membership. It's how many that is the issue and how they are tolerated. "Rife" is not accurate nor is the idea that when they were proven they were tolerated. By exaggerating AS in Labour, by re-defining it as anti-Zionist or anti-Israel FFS, by bombarding the complaints process with non-relevant cases to bog it down, by purposefully sitting on complaints in order to cause problems, by lying to a Panorama team about their active role ... everything was geared to promoting the idea that Corbyn was an antisemite and had made Labour an antisemitic party. Something you repeated as a mantra. Because that's how wedded you are to the game of politics and spinning a narrative. Sickeningly grubby and dishonest behaviour given how many times you were challenged on the accusations and yet refused to address the evidence. |  |

No, I'm treating it as written by a human being/human beings who can have a different take on certain things from me. I think the pattern of behaviour argument for Williamson in particular is very weak. A pattern of antisemitic behaviour? No, that's difficult to prove with this evidence. A pattern of behaviour that might cause the party embarrassment? Yes, probably. You're being your usual disingenuous self. |  |

Go for it. Your posting history of retweeted accusations looks like a who’s who of liars, schemers and generally untrustworthy sources. It’ll exonerate you from having a leg to stand on. |  |
