Thread by @NudderingNudnik

A thread on the world of the mad & the bad at the heart of the #MarcWadsworth campaign to reinstate a Labour activist who thought it a good idea to insult @RuthSmeeth at the launch of the Labour antisemitism event in 2016.

This thread is on a chap called Christopher Dave Rodgers

I first called across Chris when i noticed that he'd made a death threat against Theresa May after the air strike against chemical weapons installations in Syria.

I reported this threat to twitter (as did some others) and tagged in his local police force.

You'll see that his threat isn't showing - that's because Twitter suspended his account after the report. I've no idea if any criminal action is being taken.

Anyway, Chris is back on Twitter.

And Chris very quickly posted a slightly more careful version of his threat tweet.

So - what do we know of Christopher? And why is he relevant to the Marc Wadsworth case? Bear with me. We'll get there.

Chris is a former Green party member. He tried to join Labour in 2016.

In a moment of madness, Labour decided not to Let Chris join. I think the rules are different if you're not trying to be party leader.

But undeterred, Chris is very very loyal to Corbyn and the Corbyn cause.

Chris is happy to be an antisemite and will wear the badge "with honour" if need be.

Chris likes the "good Jew/bad Jew" trope and uses it to differentiate between antizionist Bundists and all those Jews who support the existence of a Jewish state. He uses the Shoah to make his point.

Chris brands @RuthSmeeth as a CIA agent.

You'll notice that Chris links to notorious antisemite Stephen Bellamy in the tweet above, as in this one.

In fact, Chris seems to correspond with or link to many of the poster boys of Leftist antisemitism, including Max Shanly (of Oxford Lab Club fame), George Galloway (of being a rancid twat fame), Robert Fisk (of being a lying nutter fame) and Tony Greenstein (of epic madness fame)

Chris seems to have had Galloway mention him on his radio programme.

Chris also likes to troll and abuse Jewish people on Twitter - although he refers to us as "Hasbara trolls".

Anyway, back to Marc Wadsworth.
(see, i get there in the end after the scene setting).

Chris claims to be intimately involved, along with Tony Greenstein, in the campaign to appeal Wadsworth's expulsion from @UKLabour

You'll notice in that tweet that Chris claims that the legal counsel involved in an opinion for Marc Wadsworth is applying for a legal role within @UKLAbour.

As they say - huge, if true.

Chris has also contacted other suspended/expelled Labour members offering to assist with legal advice.
And it turns out - imagine my surprise - that Chris communicates by using the @FreeSpeechOnIsr FB group, of which he is a member.

Chris is a very extreme - some might say totally mad - voice on Twitter. Yet Chris has a number of followers in elected positions in the Labour party.
These include a Croydon CLP exec member, Harlow councillor candidate & a Labour councillor in Abergavenny.

Chris's other followers include a Coventry South CLP exec member and a regional Momentum organiser.

His followers also include the infamous Scott Nelson (Socialist Voice) and total Leftist Jew hater account Cool Daddy.

So - to conclude: we have an extremist prone to violent threats and with links to known antisemites claiming to be at the heart of legal moves to overturn internal Labour party action against other extremist activists.
And this person has links to CLP officials and others.

Christopher Dale Rogers may in fact be a deluded fantasist. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.
But the thing is - he swims in exactly the same waters and uses the same language as those now at the centre of @UKLabour
If he is organising the Marc Wadsworth legal challenge it is scary.

And if he isn't, then the fact that he can so easily be mistaken for someone who is intimately involved should tell you everything you need to know about Corbyn's Labour.
