The final thread *:

It's been a bruising 5 years down in the sewer of the Left, working to prevent a racist party coming to power.

I've learned that with some limited & notable exceptions, broadly speaking the Left doesn't care about British Jews.
We are utterly disposable.
Labour MPs, officers etc frequently approached me and others in private to offer words of support & to express their horror. But with the exception of the heroic @IanAustin1965 & @MikeGapes , none of those who spoke in private fully delivered in public.
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes As the years ticked by, our home life became increasingly dominated by the struggle against Labour & by the open disdain & hostility we received from those we thought were our friends. Hostility because we were not Jews who would go quietly. Hostility because we refused to submit
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes Hostility because we were desperate to try and ensure that our son would be protected from the wave of anti-Jewish racism engulfing the Left & revealing both friends & wider family to be complicit in this cultural & political pogrom against British Jews.

And then Thursday night:
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes We spent more & more time considering our future & whether it lay here in the UK or in Israel. Something we had never thought would be a choice facing us, as people who are in fact British
As the years & months ticked by the discussion became ever more urgent & laced with anxiety
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes And then Thursday night. Along with tens of thousands of British Jews, we blinked in disbelief & gaped at the news: we were spared. We laughed. We drank. We drank a bit more. We felt our shoulders drop after YEARS of growing stress. We called, texted, messaged those we love.
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes We had been passed over. And we've spent the days since trying to adjust to this new reality. We know that the decline in the Labour vote was hugely significant. But we also know that this was a close thing. Our future was contingent on a marginal shift in voting.

So - what now?
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes Well, what now seems to consist of Left wing voices - "moderate" & non-moderate - working out what they need to do to make Labour electable again. And then expecting me and my family to help them in this or at least to be interested.
Well, we are interested.
We want Labour to die
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes The sight yesterday of @johnmcternan rudely dismissing the great @mishtal (the single individual who has done more than anyone to reveal the slide of the Left into antisemitism) & being proud to fund a violent, racist extremist (Richard Seymour) as part of the "Great debate"..
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes @johnmcternan @mishtal ..on the future of Labour merely confirms what i already know. The party & the Left more broadly needs to be put out of its misery, but not humanely.
It needs to be made to suffer humiliation & public disgust & mockery.
And individuals need to be made to suffer: professionally..
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes @johnmcternan @mishtal ...financially and socially.
The racists & those who enabled them to endanger my family & those who stood back & let it happen all need to suffer the cost of racism.
So that others learn that playing with racism is simply not worth the risk.

Luckily for us, this is coming.
@IanAustin1965 @MikeGapes @johnmcternan @mishtal The imminent EHRC report will reveal the Left's "great debate" as the sham & irrelevance it so surely is. And those taking part in it will find themselves suddenly busy protecting their position & their financial assets.

Me - i'll be howling with derision as this plays out.
In the meantime, as the Left has it’s “great debate” & jostles for position in the Labour leadership struggle, I say this:
You’re on your own.
You debate if you want to. This Jew is not for debating.

Nope, you don’t need me now. I’m out. For now.
I’ll be watching of course. So that when the post-EHRC landscape emerges and the rats start eating each other in their desperate bid to avoid the cost of their racist folly, well I’ll be happy to assist with some facts on the players.

And I’ll do what I can do ensure they fall.
But for now, this is the last thread.

See you on the other side of the EHRC if or when I’m needed.

For now - laters.
xx
Bang on cue I’m being told off by a non-Jewish “moderate” for not encouraging others to re-join Labour and that mine was the “wrong take”.

It is a thankless task putting Jews to rights, isn’t it?
I should be more grateful.
