After watching Panorama about antisemitism last night, I think the Labour party response is shameful

The testimony of the young people several of whom had resigned from their jobs after being bullied by Jeremy Corben's allies in the Labour party was convincing and disturbing. All credit to them for their courage. The Labour party response today, after failing to get the programme banned from broadcast, is to say those who testified were anti- Corben, had axes to grind etc . Absolutely shameful.

And antisemitism isn't some less significant version of racism.
Exactly Bellini

allthepretty exactly which is why the majority of people who voted him in were the new people the rule change allowed to vote ie all the mom stumped people who are in his camp.

Trezo - seriously, people did know about Corbyn before he entered the leadership race in 2015.

noblegiraffe · 22/07/2019 17:30

you are all falling for the lies of the establishment elite

You want to see antisemitism in Labour it’s not hard to find. Stupid to keep calling it establishment lies when there are videos, tweets, articles. You’re telling people not to believe the evidence of their own eyes, which is pretty Orwellian.

Sooverthemill · 22/07/2019 16:10

Oh trezo I'm sure Corbyn is very proud of you because people in the Labour Party would never want to have money or evade taxes.people join groups for many reasons. The Labour elite have money 'champagne socialists'.they are racist and sexist and all kinds of prejudice exists across the whole of all parties

bellinisurge · 22/07/2019 15:44

Bollocks.

Trezo · 22/07/2019 15:16

I think you are all sadly being misled lied to and you don't know it, you are all falling for the lies of the establishment elite who want the richest to keep their ill gotten riches not pay their fair share in taxs hidden in tax havens. So they have gone all out in this smear campaign against the left truly socialist Labour leader.

Cameron got his pals given top jobs at the BBC the propaganda wing of the Tory party.

Things are not as black and white as you think.

FreshFreesias · 22/07/2019 12:31

I agree. Labour's attitude to this is shocking. A friend of Luciana Berger was saying she was having dinner with her and Luciana showed her her phone, which revealed constant harassment of the vilest anti Semitic kind.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 22/07/2019 12:26

I think it was appalling. And Trezo's trumpeting about Corbyn signing a few useless EDMs (all Corbyn ever did was sign useless EDMs, nearly 20k of them) and 2 so-called prizes, one given by 10 men in a room in Islington and the other named after an IRA member, plus linking to irrelevant anti-Semites as if they were some kind of defence, is just pathetic. I believe Corbyn's words and behaviour show him to be racist. It is sickening.

I can give you a massive list of scientists who don’t believe in evolution. That doesn’t mean they’re right. Look at how many people don’t believe we landed on the moon.

Peace prizes and lists of people who like Corbyn and what about the Tories are all shit responses to the current crisis in Labour.

Sooverthemill · 20/07/2019 09:50

And 'trezo' just giving me a list of local councillors who agree with and support Corbyn no matter what doesn't convince me

Sooverthemill · 20/07/2019 09:49

nobelgiraffe exactly! Even if Corbyn himself is not an antisemite, his leadership is allowing a culture and atmosphere to persist which allows antisemitism and he needs to be much much tougher. I can read planted opinion articles about what a nice chap Trump is (and probably Hitler or Franco's finer side) but Corbyn is allowing systemic racism ( antisemitism is racism) to exist within ten Labour Party. I do blame the Momentum people just as I blamed Militant in the 80s. I thought we had driven this out but a throw back leader has allowed this to all resurface. I'm considering my options as to my political alliance now. The LPHQ response to the Panorma programme ( ie to get it removed from iplayer) does not help

Labour HQ finally dispatched someone to parrot the party line on MN.

noblegiraffe · 19/07/2019 19:19

Jeremy Corbyn has been a anti racist peace campaigner all his life and won two peace awards.

Aung San Suu Kyi won the Nobel Peace Prize so that’s not the killer argument you think it is.

bellinisurge · 19/07/2019 19:14

I expect better of Labour. And antisemitism isn't some less significant version of racism.

SimonArch1983 · 19/07/2019 19:09

Almost as bad as the tories haemorrhaging it's racists to Ukip/Britain first, which brought about the whole brexit crisis in the first place.

bellinisurge · 19/07/2019 19:03

Basically, Corbynites are trying the "fake nooz" tactic in the hope their acolytes fall for it.

Trezo · 19/07/2019 18:58

Sooverthemill anti racism includes anti semitism all racism Did you know read the link I sent?

Jenny Formby has and is dealing admirably with the backlog that occurred under McNicholl And put in place measures to speed up procedure. Now there is barely any anti semitism and thats do to Corbyn and his team.

And did you know that there is more antisemitism in the Tory party and islamaphobia which they haven't dealt with yet. We have a bias media against Labour not everyone can see that though. Just believe the lies they are fed.

trezo receiving awards for one thing doesn't mean he's perfect in all ways. I am aware that he has declared himself anti racist but antisemitism is a specific type of racism that many many left wing people still perpetrate ( sadly). Jewish people are fair game it seems. Peace awards for disarmament for example aren't a sign that he's anti racist necessarily and I would like the leader of my party to show greater leadership and integrity.
