Labour Election Hustings:What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let's Find Out!

Well, it got shared enthusiastically in a group chat on whatsapp, with the person in question saying 'Yes, my Prime Minister'. When pressed on what it was he'd actually done, said person reckoned it was just 'been nice to jews'.

This person was enthusiastic about TINGE, though. So could be a vote winner!

[Armin Meiwes]

Haha of COURSE it was going to be this simple, the whole crisis was predicated on the inherent "fact" that Corbyn and those around him were anti semitic and if you believe that to be a fact there was never anything he could do to rid the labour party of anti semitism other than by resigning. Keir Starmer is not considered to be inherently anti semitic and therefore although there will be the occasional grumblings about why didn't he "do more" about Corbyn the whole thing was "solved" the second he took over and will now return to being about as much interest to anyone as islamaphobia in the Tory party. As HC said kind of mental that they didn't even bother to pretend there was anything more to it than that but I guess not so surprising.

[Artie Fufkin]

I see Starmer's new Director of Communications is Ben Nunn, who as far as I can see plays as a right-back for Billericay Town. Odd choice, but we'll see!

LOLZ
He'll change to left-back now.

Glad antisemitism isn't a problem anymore

While we would have fully understood the need to focus entirely on coronavirus at this time, Keir Starmer has already achieved in four days more than his predecessor in four years in addressing antisemitism within the Labour party.

"Oh, that was easy," says Starmer, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

The important thing, though, compared to Corbyn, is that he's been nice to the right kind of Jews.

that caricature of kier is shite, and i think kier looks like a burnt lump of beige

[Buelligan]

That's absolutely astounding.  I can't believe anyone could publish something like that.  It's just incredible.

[BlodwynPig]

according to Tysky via a Private Eye source, one of Keir's donors was also a Change UK donor

[honeychile]

If i was gonna satirise the ANTI-SEMITISM CRISIS in the Labour party, the last 24 hours would be roughly what i'd have come up with.

[idunnosomename]

funny how the shittiest arch-centrists have greyscale twitter avs. because they are beige dickheads who abhor progress

also perhaps because they are old and ugly

Since antisemitism has now been defeated, it occurs to me to mention something i stumbled across a few weeks ago. While looking up some family history i came across a book about zionism which features an introduction from Max Nordau, one of the most prominent zionists of the pre-Israel era and in fact all of history. I mention it only because during Corbyn's tenure it's the sort of stuff which was so easily caricatured as DENYING THE JEWISH PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO THE SAME SELF-DETERMINATION AS ALL OTHER PEOPLES (yet ironically at the same time it also lances the notion that all zionism was innately anti-palestinian):

Zionism has not the ambition of founding an independent Jewish State, be it a kingdom or a republic. All it desires is that its adherents should be allowed to immigrate without any restraint into Palestine, to buy there as much land as they can obtain for their money, to enjoy autonomy of local administration, and not to be hampered in their earnest efforts to create culture and prosperity. It goes without saying that Zionistic Jews pledge themselves to observe the most scrupulous, most generous loyalty towards the Power under whose sovereignty Palestine is placed.

[BlodwynPig]

Can you post that to Riley et al.?

Lovely bunch of lads the CAA, same people who had noted far right islamaphobe Colonel Richard Kemp as one of their patrons until December of last year (when they shat themselves that accusing people of racism whilst condoning racism wasn't a great look so got rid).

[Paul Calf]

Is there any good reason to give a toss what they think?

Our review of the records of all Parliamentary candidates in the recent General Election showed not only that Mr Corbyn was himself responsible for a breathtaking fifteen percent of all incidents involving antisemitism, but that Labour's candidates accounted for a breathtaking 82 percent of all of the incidents across all parties.

What?

This problem is not confined to the House of Commons: one post-election poll showed that nearly three quarters of Labour members said that the issue of antisemitism in the Party was "invented or wildly exaggerated", with that denial rising to over 90% among members of the pro-Corbyn Momentum group. Only one in five Labour members agreed that "antisemitism was a real problem" in Labour.

Witch trial.

[EOLAN]

What?

Witch trial.

At least they have not yet recognised Keir Starmer as being the new leader of the Labour Party.
