Labour party members, socialists of every hue, have been fighting against the 'Jew-baiters' for many decades - in fact at Cable Street our ancestors stood shoulder-to-shoulder with London's Jewish people and actively fought the fascists.

Tony Blair? I spit on him.

au contraire BB - the situation the party finds itself in now is largely as a result of action - or inaction - by its own members, notably naz shah, ken livingstone and mr corbyn himself.
