Is The Labour Anti Semite Row A Coup In Disguise?

Gorgeous George thinks so!

Oh yes Danczuk another Labour paragon of virtue. That reminds me we haven't heard a squeak from Mikey about this fiasco. Unusual for him not to have an opinion on politics. :-)

[ToraToraTora]

like a lot of labour supporters I'd imagine he's highly embarrassed and keeping a low profile.

Danczuk is suspended from the Labour Party pending the result of an investigation into his conduct by Labour's National Executive Committee. They seem to be taking an exceptionally long time to arrive at a conclusion, almost as if they do not want him back.

I suppose police enquiries into the allegations made against him are still ongoing and the NEC are on hold for time being??

I hadn't realised Mikey's contributions worried folk that much.

Yes, what is the Greens' opinion on all this ;-)

The pilice were not interested in the sexting allegation which is why he was suspended.

The historic rape claim he was interviewed but not arrested.
The expenses fraud, he repaid £11,500 and that is a HofC matter not a police one.

I'm struggling with this one. 1st reaction was that, historically, George was right. I've checked and he was - for a few months Hitler considered just forcible evacuation of the Jews, according to the bits I've looked at. Couldn't believe I agree with GG about anything. But then, there is his history of obvious anti-semetism. It could well be that this is a weakness which anti-Corbynites have been lying in wait to exploit and they piled in hard at the first chance.

Lefties see a gross bias in favour of Israel and it offends their sense of social justice. They think Israel stole land, commit atrocities, and are a rogue nation.
Meanwhile the west, support Israel, and turn a blind eye to genocide of the Palestinians, assasinations, and gross flouting of International Law.

Livingstone, being on the left, feels justified in attacking Israel. He is confident that he is not being anti-Semitic (because he isn't). But the UK press see any attack on Isreal as attacking Jews(which it isn't).

So the press think they have Livingstone on a hook, and Livingstone continues to wriggle because ultimately he is right and they are wrong.
