The report in today’s Mail on Sunday that a Labour Election candidate organised and ran a secret Facebook group which advises party members, including alleged Holocaust deniers, how to beat charges of antisemitism is deeply disturbing dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
According to the report, Maria Carroll, who is standing in Camarthen East and Dinefwr, co-founded and administered the secret Facebook group which instructed Labour Party members accused of antisemitism on how to avoid expulsion.
Among those who joined the group are members who cast doubt on the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis and others who repeated the antisemitic trope that there is an international ‘Jewish conspiracy’ controlling politics, the economy and the media.
The Labour Party should immediately investigate and if the allegations are proved to be correct then it needs to drop Carroll as a candidate and expel those involved. There can be no place for antisemitism, Holocaust Denial or anti-Jewish conspiracy theories in our politics.
