Hi @Independent
No, that isn't what happened at all, is it?
Corbyn correctly stated that the 'scale of the problem' had been 'dramatically overstated for political reasons'.
That's what happened.
You need to issue a correction.

@Independent Starmer's NEC motion disbarring him makes no mention of antisemitism:
@Independent Starmer's NEC motion to disbar Corbyn talks about Corbyn losing in 2019.
Not 'antisemitism'.
You can check for yourselves, @Independent.

There will be no 'big bang' apology for the antisemitism smearing war. Our polluted media will never admit that they lied or why they did. They will simply stop talking about it, as Starmer has already done. It will disappear into the most capacious and forgiving of memory holes.
The damage done to our polity and our people is unquantifiable. The carnage inflicted as a consequence of the war against Corbyn and the left has left the county hollowed out, shattered, broken on the wheel of corporate capture of all institutions.
Our media are revealed as obedient purveyors of officially sanctioned narratives, acting in the interests of distant powers who wield their influence through channels that remain opaque and obscure to the majority of those consuming their product.

Ken Loach claims antisemitism is being used to oust Labour left politicians uk.news.yahoo.com/ken-loach-clai… via @Yahoo
'Mr Loach, who was expelled from the party amid efforts to tackle the antisemitism experienced during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership...'
Note how tortured the language is here. Not, 'He said this antisemitic thing', but 'expelled.. amid efforts...antisemitism experienced...'
The language is tortured because, were you to attempt to explain in simple terms why Loach was expelled, you would be unable to do so, because there is no valid reason of any kind.

We hear a lot about what ‘many Jews believe’ about Corbyn and the left.
This widely cited Jewish Chronicle poll, for instance, found that 85% of UK Jews thought Corbyn himself is antisemitic.
thejc.com/news/uk-news/m…
Now. Anyone is of course at liberty to ‘believe’, or claim to ‘believe’ anything they like.
I could claim to ‘believe’ there are tiny invisible rabbits that live in my beard, for instance.
Does that make it true?
Does that make the tiny invisible beard-rabbits real?
No of course it doesn’t, because ‘beliefs’ are not what decide reality.
Facts are, and the facts are perfectly clear: Corbyn is not, and has never been, an antisemite, and even BBC were legally forced to concede it. Image

Let's take this line by line, shall we?
LN: 'There was this moment after the EHRC report was published when the full shame of what the Labour Party had become during that era was laid bare'

Reality: The EHRC found 2 cases, both now subject to judicial review.
LN: 'Some of us took the decision that it was completely unsustainable and walked away, and some of us took the decision that it was better to be there and try to mitigate what was happening'.

Reality: 'What was happening' was 2 cases, both now subject to judicial review.

Our corrupt and stupid media are letting them get away with it, as Starmer must have known they would. Corbyn was disbarred because 'he lost 2019', not because of 'antisemitism'.
They keep saying EHRC report, they keep saying apologise.
via @YouTube
So we have twin tracks now: the 'official' track, the Starmer NEC motion, which explicitly does not say 'antisemitism', and the unofficial track, which is his MPs going out on telly and lying that it does.
Starmer knows he couldn't make the 'antisemitism' nonsense stand up legally, so he invents a different official excuse, while his MPs lie bare-faced on telly.
It's behaviour so grotesquely dishonest it almost beggars belief.
