Congratulations to the Socialist Workers Party on recruiting Malcolm Adlington. Malc has rejoined the SWP after the Labour Party suspended him for regularly posting antisemitic, in some cases explicitly neo-Nazi, material. But the SWP don't seem to mind. "Welcome home", comrade! 
As several SWP activists joined the thread to express their joy at Malcolm Adlington's return to the fold, I asked why they were so keen given the Labour Party had suspended him for antisemitism. Surely, the SWP were supposed to be antiracist? The exchange didn't go well.
Adlington defended sharing an article about Tommy Robinson on the grounds that it denounced him. Yes, it did: from a neo-Nazi perspective that Robinson was taking "30 pieces of silver" for "pretending that the Jews aren't behind the intentional destruction of England and Europe".
Another piece shared by Adlington claims Zionist Jews are "Talmudically brainwashed" to smash the skulls of Palestinian babies. He has stated on Twitter (his own words this time) that "Modern Israelis share DNA with Ghengis Khan not Moses" and claimed the USA is a Zionist puppet.
So, I'm not sorry that Malcolm Adlington has quit Labour. But it does sadden me that anyone supposedly on the left would welcome him in their ranks. It's not as if his SWP mates had challenged these posts. I have my differences with the SWP but thought they were better than that.
