Labour sinks further into sewer of anti-Semitism

-

JUST when you think Labour cannot sink any lower when it comes to the anti-Semitism row in their party, they continue to come up trumps. The latest appalling allegation against them is that they have a dossier containing numerous cases of anti-Semitism that should have been reported to the police. Did they, as any responsibl­e, or indeed decent, organisati­on would have done, take that course of action? No they did not. Instead they tried to conceal it. What more evidence of anti-Semitic and racist behaviour does anyone need?

Labour protest their innocence but judge them by their actions, not their words. Then again, those words are pretty damning, too: one member actually said, “We shall rid the Jews who are cancer on us all.” It is barely believable that such a person could be a member of a major political party; and even more incredible that nothing was done. That could have come straight out of the Third Reich.

This reeks of a cover-up. They need to explain – and fast – what they did when the evidence of anti-Semitic behaviour was presented to them and what action was taken. And all this as they debated whether to adopt the Internatio­nal Holocaust Remembranc­e Alliance definition of anti-Semitism, seemingly oblivious to the fact that even having that debate is a mark of the depths to which they have fallen.

Shame on Corbyn and his hard-Left acolytes, shame on them. Not that shame is a concept any of them would understand.
