Anti Antisemitism ...

Labour seem capable of instantly sacking Alistair Campbell for voting Lib Dem but something anti-Semitic then at worst it seems to be suspension. There is the problem in a nutshell, they consider voting for another party far worse than being anti-Semitic.

The problem is those examples aren't criticising Israel as a state as such, but rather Jews hidden under those criticisms. Galloway doesn't tend to (if at all) criticise the Palestinians, Hezbollah, Hamas etc whatever they do.

The last example is blatant hiding behind using Israel to suggest a Jewish world conspiracy. Why would Israel target Corbyn, when he really holds no power in the situation?

Labour anti-Semitism row: MPs attack decision on Chris Williamson

Labour parliamentarians express "anger" at decision to readmit MP suspended in an anti-Semitism row.

Labour seem determined by inaction or poor action to not let the anti-semitism issue go quiet. This really isn't a good look and really are in danger of imploding. We could end up with both major parties imploding at this rate with the way both are going.
 
When I saw the grandstanding about Philip Green, I wondered if they would do themselves a pickle like they did with zero hours contracts
 
I didn't expect to see this:

I forgot Panorama was on, but the reaction online was telling. Older school Labour members/politicians were understandably outraged at what was on the program, the new wave/Corybnistas were claiming stitch up, poor journalism and deflecting their reaction onto the Tories.

The Trots and Marxists have really shown their true colours, and it's sad for Labour that for some, they are now the nasty party now. I never thought I'd write that

Somebody on 5 Live was explaining how everything such as Panorama needs to go through a huge amount of checking, compliance and lawyers.
I am just amazed that the reaction can be stitch up/ poor journalism when the majority of the criticism is actually coming from Labour supporters. They simply need to accept the criticism and do something about it.

Agree 100%. If it was a YouTube channel, then I would absolutely respect their criticism as there are no standards to maintain or legal hoops to go through.

Regardless, Labour (and the Tories) will need to accept the criticism for "anti-" stuff and man up to it. The Labour reaction is an insight into the problem highlighted and how systemic it has become. In some places, it's become the cult of personality that I feared it had become.
 
And some New Old Labour supporters are trending on Twitter but still don't get it or understand. It's like looking at the world's biggest blind spot and it's sad to see. The Labour party is tearing itself apart.

Mark Steel: No wonder Labour antisemitism got the ‘Panorama’ treatment – Tory racism is way too much to fit into an hour

Conservative members love politicians who protect the kind of British life a person can relate to, such as wearing a monocle and having 19 kids you never see until they’ve left Eton

Mmm
I think that is an unfortunate column.
It is almost under playing the nasty anti semitism, bullying (causing one person to claim that they were close to suicide) that seems prevalent in Corbyns Labour party.

Now the racism in the Tory party is also abhorent and could be investigated (maybe Panorama should look at this as well).

But 2 wrongs dont make a right.
 
Just watched a recording of the Panorama investigation into Labour Party antisemitism. A third rate piece of journalism, playing to the baying mob, Perhaps if Corbyn agrees to a photo shoot in his kitchen the BBC may get over the fact that Corbyn finds their political journalism an irrelevance. He has done a poor job in responding to the relentless allegations made, but this shabby effort adds nothing.
