Piers Corbyn ponders ‘the Jewish question’ on neo-Nazi’s online show

- BY FELIX POPE

THE ELDER brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has appeared on an online show hosted by one of Britain’s most infamous neo-Nazis and discussed “the Jewish question”.

Anti-vaxx campaigner Piers Corbyn was interviewe­d by Mark Collett and a co-host named “No White Guilt” on the far-right show Weekly Patriotic Review, which is broadcast live online.

Billed as a discussion of “Covid tyranny,” “forced vaccinatio­ns” and “a two-tier society,” the show moved to a discussion of the future of white people and Jews.

“Obviously, you and I agree on a lot of things,” said Mr Collett after introducin­g his guest as “the legendary Piers Corbyn, a man who has fought relentless­ly against these tyrannical lockdowns”.

In an awkward exchange, Mr Collett then asked Mr Corbyn: “Is Piers aware of the Jewish question?”

“I’m not quite sure what that means,” said Mr Corbyn, emphasisin­g, “I’m not a Holocaust denier, in case that’s leading up to that.

“The Holocaust happened and that was horrific,” he continued, adding, “there’s lots of ways of defining the Jewish question but the difficulty is in answering.”

Mr Corbyn then offered to meet Mr

Collett again “under different circumstan­ces” in order to discuss the Jewish question “more fully”.

Speaking to the JC after the show, Mr Corbyn said: “I didn’t know the history of this person, I normally agree to appear in just about anything as long as it’s a live interview. The questions were not indicating anything far-right about them.

“I was very clear that the Holocaust took place.”

Mr Collett is the leader of Patriotic Alternativ­e, a far-right political party that claims to oppose the “replacemen­t and displaceme­nt” of white Britons.

The activist first came to prominence in 2002, following his appearance in the Channel 4 documentar­y Young, Nazi and Proud, in which he expressed his admiration for Adolf Hitler and described Aids as a “friendly disease because blacks, drug users and gays have it”.
