Michael Rosen & Rachel Riley

[StBrides]

This sounds quite sensitive so apologies to anyone who's affected by it but can someone please tell me what the argument between these two is about?

Seems to be a big twitter spat about which one's antisemitic..? There's an article that apparently sheds lights but it's in Google drive which I can't access.

TIA

She apparently said "I don't look like a typical Jew!", pulled a face and laughed. Michael was upset by that. I haven't seen the actual interview, though.

ACBC That's not Rachel Riley.

A Corbynite waiting in the wings to have a go at RR as she was anti corbyn,

If it is in Swarkbox you can gather the angle of the pile on

Rosen takes Riley to task over ‘typical Jew’ comments – SKWAWKBOX

Essentially it's a twatter spat that should be ignored like all the others, especially when it involves corbynites..

So it was OK for her to say "I don't look like a typical Jew! " ?? Ah, I see, as a "Corbynite", Michael R mustn't take offence....

You need to remove this. You’ve got the wrong person.

Michael R is an out and out Corbyn fan, it's amusing to think he can sense a "dog whistle" whilst going silent on the many many examples from Corbyn and also be happy with appearing in rags like the Canary and SkwarkBox.

It is nothing more than a twatter spat, and people like Michael R waiting in the wings for the right opportunity to make a swipe at RR as she is generally hated in those circles, it's a typical example of the hard left being fast and lose with no bad tactics just bad targets.

Rosen always comes across badly to me.

I don't know how he takes the credit for "bear hunt" when he didn't come up with it.

Who did?

The story is based on the old scout? or Brownie song of the same name.

Michael Rosen is an incredible literary hero of many children and adults alike.
Right wingers can’t stand the fact that someone with such popularity and intellectual clout supported Jeremy Corbyn and trusted not the cynical smear campaign against him during the last GE.
RR has overestimated her popularity and halved her kudos by attacking him on social media.

Antisemitic remarks come across worse

👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks, that sheds some light.

Apologies. I’ve reported my post

I am really appalled by Rachel Riley on this matter. Rosen is such a wonderful person. Hurts my heart to see him attacked and insinuating he, a Jewish person and lifelong anti-racist is antisemitic?! What on Earth.

She’s just another Tory twat.
I don’t think she quite realised how much work she’s going to lose based on these foolish, disrespectful comments.
MR is a genuine long standing national treasure and she’s just an Oxbridge toff with no understanding of the propaganda machine.

I’m a Jew, the anti Corbin thing is fabrication from start to finish. Obviously, Michael Rosen is brave enough to stand up and say so.

Yes 👍🏼

I don’t know the background, but as a bereaved parent I love Michael Rosen for his book following his beloved son’s Eddies death. A writer who has survived such loss and written and illustrated it so meaningfully is a wonderful and deep human and fuck Twitter.

Not sure why RR thinks being antisemitic is acceptable from herself when it’s rightly not acceptable from anyone.

Right wingers can’t stand the fact that someone with such popularity and intellectual clout supported Jeremy Corbyn and trusted not the cynical smear campaign against him during the last GE.

This is funniest thing I have read in weeks.
