The Equality and Human Rights Commission seem to think so.

Labour has been branded the 'new nasty party' after an outbreak of intimidation
The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg has been reported as having to have a bodyguard. Now I dont like the woman but having to have a body guard at a major parties conference?

Seems the Nasty violent Left are starting to show thei true colours.

What I want to know is why the police have not been involved. If this was a 'far' right party plod would be wading in thick and fast.

Every honest person would admit it, ymb.
They seem to be heading in that direction.
The 'new nasty party' ??????

They have always been the 'nasty party'.
Labours a sinking ship, check out that guy with the microphone, it looks as if he already has his life jacket on in readiness.
Keunssberg is percieved as being biased against Labour and hostile to Corbyn. Probably based on terrible performances like this one.



Her employers, the BBC, after complaints about her, had to admit that the complaints were justified.
// The BBC broke accuracy and impartiality rules in a News at Six report about Jeremy Corbyn's view on shoot-to-kill, the BBC's governing body has said.
The item, by BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, was shown three days after the Paris attacks in November 2015.
A viewer complained that the report misrepresented the Labour leader's position on the use of lethal force in the event of such an attack in the UK. //

She has faced abuse online, but not specifically from the Labour Party, and the Labour Conference has its own security. The use of additional security in the form of Private bodyguards is a measure by the BBC (they are good at wasting taxpayer money). She also had it during the general election, so this is not a Labour Conference measure.
There is no evidence that she needs extra security, but it is also plain that she would be unpopular at the Conference. Perhaps if she repirting more dairly in the future, she wouldn't be scared wherever she goes.

Perhaps if she reported more fairly in the future, she wouldn't be scared wherever she goes.
am not defending her, but am asking don't the BBC (as do other media outlets) have editorial teams to put together pieces for viewers to watch?

as for 'A viewer' complained.... oh my

Astonishing.
For 'fairly' read praising Corbyn to the rafters. The jeremessiah must not be disrespected with difficult questions. It makes him grumpy, and the faithful very angry.
She was also branded "that Scottish twerp" on her by someone more to the right of the political spectrum. So she must be doing something right: cannon to both left and right.
I am astounded that anyone could make excuses for this sort of intimidation.
Spicecrack, once again you are speaking before thinking.
You are the one who knows everything, think before you speak.
^Lmao.
No...it's still the BNP and the EDL.

Labour really needs to get its act together to top those.

Was it the EDL or BNP who spat on, punched, kicked 'everyone' at the Tory conference, SP. I can't remember?
I thought you knew everything.
Question Author
Some just accept what the Labour party has become.

Astonishing.
People who are enthusiastic enough about politics to actually join a political party tend to be rather amoral people at best and absolutely awful ones at worst. For what little it's worth, my own experience of Labour members has been that they are dim and somewhat detached from reality rather than actually evil, but that's just what I've seen.

Re: the intimidation - if it's happening, it's awful. But I do question the story a bit, as Kuenssberg having a security detail is not all that unusual given her profile. On the other hand, there is genuine vitriol and hatred against her among Corbynistas over what I think was probably professional laziness or a mistake rather than an outright attempt to smear the Dear Leader.

In a wider context, what is worrying about this story is that Labour's leadership appears to be having trouble controlling its members. The party's enormously increased size was an advantage in the election - but perhaps without such a clear common goal the party has become too big and unwieldy for the leadership to govern properly. What would this mean if they did win an election?
Not only anti-Semitic but anti-monarchy too,

The present Labour Party is a disgrace.
I'm not sure being anti-monarchy is *quite* as serious a problem as anti-semitism.
