This morning i posted yet another thread on a Labour member (this time a Cllrr & leader of a Lab group on a district council).
I've been doing this for 6 years now.
@Keir_Starmer has promised to remove antisemitism from the party he leads.
So i've got a basic question for him
"How?"
That's my question to @Keir_Starmer

Because so far the model looks suspiciously like the old one but with better rhetoric around it & some visible action.

The model is "We'll sub-contract this problem out to a handful of Jews & their allies. We won't help them"
Put simply - if me and a small group of others including @GnasherJew @LabourAgainstAS etc didn't do what we do (find Labour Jew haters & try & get them noticed by the party) then what would happen to said Jew-hating/baiting Labour members?

I can answer that: nothing.
Is handing off the problem to a tiny group of (largely) the victims of the racism that has taken root in the party & then hoping that we either do or don't catch too many of them in the act a responsible position?

Really?
Because to me it looks like an approach that is both morally repugnant and also doomed to failure.

No matter how much of my personal time i manage/choose to devote to rooting out the racists, i and the others can never succeed. The maths is against us.
We can never do anything more than scratch the surface of the problem & once in a while cop a noticeably prominent scalp.

And being a smart man @Keir_Starmer knows that.

So, i ask again: what is his approach?
And if the approach is centred on "education" then we'll all know where we stand. No one has ever proposed taking the membership of Britain First and inviting them to "education workshops", nor should they.

So if education isn't the approach (it can of course be an element)..
..then what is the approach @Keir_Starmer ?

What's the approach that doesn't rely on the likes of me?

And after 6 years of doing Labour's job for it, i (along with the others) feel i'm entitled to expect an answer.
Of course, i won't ever get the answer. I'm mad, but not crazy enough to ever expect @Keir_Starmer to call me up and let me know.

But get this - in 6 YEARS of doing this, no senior Labour figure has ever contacted me or @LabourAgainstAS & asked how they could help.
Has @Keir_Starmer or anyone in his team ever contacted @GnasherJew and said "fuck me, we'd be lost without you guys. We will take over cleaning the sewers really soon but in the meantime, what do you need from us?"

What do you think?
And that pretty much says it all. Labour continues to farm the problem out to the very same people on the end of the abuse and has never once said "thank you" and "how can we help make your thankless task easier & more effective".

It's a moral & leadership failure of epic size.
