Religious leaders accuse political party of racism

Post by Ronnie Hotdogs »

Yet for some reason, this doesn't appear to be headline news. I can't work it out.

I follow the news closely, you could say religiously, and I haven't heard a word about that at all. Are you sure you've got the right party Max? It's the other lot that are the racists.

I've read my post again and nowhere have I said that you fukwit.

If the news is leading on anti-Semitism in political parties you would think they would mention it. But perhaps we need to wait for the Chief Rabbi to comment on it first and condemn it. Probably waiting until tomorrow.

Sadly it seems to be spreading. One of the anti-Semitic Tories suspended brought his with him from UKIP. So it appears to be widespread.

Maxie, I don’t know where you got the story of the ant Semitic Tory from, you always post links, but not this time. Anyway. It’s intersting that you say he was suspended, the difference being that in the Labour Party they are endorsed.

Glad you agree it’s an issue in Labour.

What he’s said and done is out of order of that we all agree on. If this has just been “found out” so to speak hasn’t the tories acted quickly and swiftly in suspending him? Surely that’s a good thing is it not? Look how long it took labour to deal with the tosser called livingstone a truly vile and reprehensible person.

Yet Corbyn was asked four times to apologise for the anti Semitic remarks etc from his party and he refused. Here is what the shadow defence secretary had to say after his car crash interview.

Following the interview, Labour's Shadow Defence Secretary Nia Griffith said Mr Corbyn should apologise, adding: "We need to apologise to our colleagues in my own party who have been very upset and to the whole of the Jewish community."

So one party deals with this issue swiftly and the other just let’s the issue rumble on and on. Surely draw a line under it, apologise, heal the wounds and move on, that’s the right thing to do.

The only party that doesn't seem to have a racist candidate (and trust me I bet papers like the guardian dug through every social media post ever made) is the brexit party. Funny old world.

This will rumble on and on as long as there is the danger of a left of centre leader who will not stand by and let Israel carry on with their war crimes unchallenged.

Although I get that those that support Labour in it's current incarnation will defend them blindly; only 2 political parties have even been investigated by The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC):

The BNP (British National Party)
Labour

....much to their anger of many of their own moderate MPs. Although most of these more traditional Labour members are gagged of course under Momentum. Sad times for those that have grown up as traditional Labour voters.

Of course there is no doubt that the Tories have some vile members too, but clearly it is a problem isolated to one or two members rather than the whole party being investigated. (so far)

And yet so far Only 1 has had a legal case brought against it .

" The commission asked the BNP to provide written undertakings that there will not be discrimination in its recruitment procedures. The BNP responded to the letter by stating that it "intends to clarify the word 'white' on its website". However, because the commission believed the BNP would continue to discriminate against potential or actual members on racial grounds, on 24 August 2009 the commission announced that they had issued county court proceedings against it. In a statement, the commission reduced the grounds on which it was taking action against the BNP, stating "The Commission believes the BNP's constitution and membership criteria are discriminatory and, further, that the continued publication of them on the BNP website is unlawful. It has therefore issued county court proceedings against party leader Nick Griffin and two other officials. The Commission has decided not to take action on two further grounds set out in its letter before action, in the light of the BNP's commitment to comply with the law."
