HUGE Mother’s Day question for @UKLabour - why just 2 weeks ago did you choose this raving conspiracy theorist racist antisemite as a Labour candidate for the coming @Torbay_Council 2019 elections?!?!?

@LabourAgainstAS #LabourAntisemitism
Virginia ‘Ginny’ Keyes has a long history of supporting David Icke - the infamous antisemitic conspiracy theorist who tours the country preaching that the world is run by secret Jewish shape-shifting lizards - ‘Rothschild Zionists’ naturally.
@supergutman
She’s also a fan of one of the barmiest conspiracy theories out there - the New World Order (of secret groups aiming to take over the world). Pesky ‘Zionist Jews’ again wanting to ‘destroy every non-Jew’, plus linking ‘secret societies’ with paedophilia & satanism. Hmm rational.
Ginny is the Women’s Officer for Torbay CLP (its own Facebook page awash with support of Labour antisemites) and as such she stands up for women like Lesley Perrin - her co-Social Activities Coordinator (until recently when she resigned after positing HOLOCAUST DENYING material).
Virginia Keyes fully backed her, even after doubling-down over the real ‘problem of the 6 million figure’.

Labour member @Steve_Cooke questioned her over this and explains it in detail why it’s wrong in his thread focussing on another Labour AS last week:
But the role of ‘Women’s Officer’ doesn’t seem to come into force when those women in question are Jewish.

I believe it’s @margarethodge she’s referring to as the ‘ffing bitch sociopath’ who ‘mentioned antisemitism again’. MH is also ‘A bastard descendent of the Rothschilds’.
Contradictory attacks here against @lucianaberger as Keyes simultaneously claims Luciana had ‘no bodyguards in sight’ at the ’friendly, warm’ @UKLabour conference, but also did have them to ‘further demonise the leadership’, adding ‘Boy can [Jewish Labour Members] play dirty’.
MP @joanryanEnfield lobs a ‘grenade of antisemitism’ and ‘fabricates claims of racism’.

@Emmabarnett is ‘nasty, aggressive, and hateful’ and possibly not a human being.

And I posted a ‘vile tweet’ in support of an attack on Jeremy Corbyn and so @tom_watson must answer to them.
Throw in some Islamophobia, posting ‘Voice of Europe’ - a Neo-Nazi site that promotes hatred of Muslims and migrants, some ‘antisemitism crisis’ denial a la The Canary, caps lock rantings at ‘GOOD JEWISH’ and a warning to Jews over the ‘witch-hunt’ and that’s a flavour of Ginny.
Lastly, in answer to Ginny @Torbaygranny’s ‘serious question’ Has anyone ever come across a racist member of Labour? Yes Ginny - YOU.

Serious question to @UKLabour: If your policy is as stated ‘Zero-Tolerance of antisemitism’ how the hell is this your newest choice of candidate?
Labour were informed Keyes was an antisemite last year but selected her as a candidate this month anyway. Fab.

For reference - some background on the poisonous Holocaust denying secret Facebook group ‘Palestine Live’, of which @jeremycorbyn was once a member.

Good question Steve!

No word on whether her fellow Torbay bigots Critchlow and Passmore have had any action taken against them either. 🤷🏼‍♀️
