Corbyn Launches Anti-Semitism Action Plan

[naomi24]

The anti-Semites within his party aren’t likely to change their opinions, so is this just an attempt to calm the much-muddied waters by shutting them up?

or muddy the waters even more so we don't know what is really going on.

[Ken4155]

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

[naomi24]

I'm not damning him, simply saying that this inquiry can be nothing more than a PR exercise.

[lady-janine]

he is not being dammed. just commenting on his actions.

Some might see this as a way for the polar opposite, Muslims, to get a little breathing space after all their bad press recently.

[jim360]

It's encouraging to see a competent leader get to grips so quickly with the issue in such a firm and convincing manner.

[Ken4155]

Sorry, naomi, i wasn't suggesting that you were damning him. I was speaking in general and there will be those who will.

[Svejk]

I hope we're not pushing this underground until the Muslims and far left are in a position to act on their hatred.

[Zacs-Master]

I take it that was a TIC comment Svejk?

[Svejk]

Not at all. I'd rather people were free to be honest and have their views challenged. Why would you think that TIC?

[Zacs-Master]

So you don't consider ISIS to be an underground Muslim 'organisation' ?

[Svejk]

No idea where you're going with this. But, no, there's nothing 'underground' about ISIS.

[Marshwarble]

I've never thought people don't vote Labour due to anti-semetism. More likely to be anti-classism.

Couldn't the same be asked about Jim's post?

[naomi24]

Jim, //It's encouraging to see a competent leader get to grips so quickly with the issue in such a firm and convincing manner. //

I trust that's a joke.

[Zacs-Master]

Nothing underground about ISIS? So we know exactly where their forces are and their armaments are stored? I don't know what your definition of underground is but they fit mine.

[ToraToraTora]

he's on a hiding to nothing, difficult to see what can be done about ingrained tendencies in the party. Labour is the traditional party of the anti British, the pro terrorists and of course the anti Semites. So yes he's essentially saying, "I don't care what you believe just *** about it!"

[jim360]

Yes it was Naomi.

[jomifl]

Shouln't it be an ant-anti-semitism action plan?

[ToraToraTora]

that would be a semitism plan then!
