What's happened to Rachel Riley?

[FedUpOfBrexit]

What's going on with Rachel Riley?
She has done a complete character change and seems to be acting very bizarre attacking Jeremy Corbyn, Owen Jones over Twitter constantly and seems to get stranger by the day.

I dunno if calling out anti semitism when you see it is strange but there you go.

She’s Jewish, has been calling out anti-semitism on twitter and within the Labour Party and as a result has suffered the most appalling abuse. I believe the police and lawyers are involved.

What has happened is that she has stood up to the most appalling abuse because she has called out anti Semitism.

She’s Jewish and is fighting anti-semitism
How that makes her “strange” is beyond me

yeah...."strange" for standing up to foul anti semitic abuse....

She’s become the victim of an online hate campaign because she started speaking out about anti Semitism. And she’s refused to pipe down about it. I don’t agree with everything she has tweeted - I think her joke about Jeremy Corbyn and the egg thing was probably in bad taste - but it’s quite alarming how many people online seem more angered by her standing up to anti Semitism than they are by actual anti Semites.

Should she put up with the abuse?

Should she think anti-semitism is OK?

Do you think any of it is OK OP?

No of course i don't think she should be abused or think anti semitism is ok.

No of course i don't think she should be abused or think anti semitism is ok.

Then why do you think she is acting bizarrely?

So someone Jewish stands up against anti semitism
Can you please point out to me which bit of that is bizarre
TIA

I would think it strange if she did back down and not react against anti-semitism.

Do you think she should just shut up and look pretty ?

So this went well, OP...

I think she's been absolutely fantastic. Eloquent, fearless and utterly determined. Good on her. How this is "acting very bizarre", as you put it, I have no idea.

She is calling out anti semitism and is getting a lot of grief for it.

She is a brave woman and is not backing down to the anti semites.

"Then why do you think she is acting bizarrely?"

Perhaps OP was genuinely not aware of this context. Not everyone lives and breathes Labour internal politics!

Presumably the OP had no idea RR is Jewish and started a thread to bash her for "odd behaviour" without possession of facts...which is odd behaviour

Ah, she's Jewish - I would have had no idea...

Well done on her for calling out anti Semitism.

Owen Jones seems to be having a go at her because a) she's a woman, and b) she proved his hypocrisy.
She posted a screen shot of him condoning egg throwing in the past.

Just defending yourself against the most appalling anti-Semitic abuse is bizarre.
Why can’t she just shut up and accept being sent death threats by hard left nutters who refuse to accept the problem Labour and JC have in cracking down on anti-semitism.

The girl on Countdown?

Do you know what comments she objected to? I’m currently having an argument with DP where he says he’s looked it up and there’s nothing to the anti Semitism and it’s all just Corbyn bashing.

I disagree but I can’t remember why and can’t find it on google! I think there has been anti semitism and she’s being brave.

Owen Jones is a twat. Rachel Riley isn't.

Just read her timeline on Twitter, Pina. It's pretty apparent what she's objecting to.
I think she's massively brave.
