Seemingly endless accusations of antisemitic racism within a Corbyn-led
Labour party have become embarrassing because it is so obvious that the
accusations are not baseless. In which case what do we say about those who
prefer to ignore the whole thing?
The BBC seems comfortable enough with Labour and its leader. It does not seem inclined to no-platform
Mr Corbyn and his political colleagues, nor does it point out to viewers that
Labour is now a party of the far right. That’s how it goes doesn’t it?
Hard-line totalitarian and racist political parties are far right aren’t they?
Progressive celebrities seem to be comfortable enough with
Corbyn’s leadership too, so presumably selective tolerance of racism is
widespread within the woke celebrity population.
In the forthcoming general election millions of voters will
vote for Corbyn so presumably selective tolerance of racism is widespread
within the general population too.
Anyone who has ever felt even a slight twinge of unease
about the diversity steamroller may well look at all this and think – racism is one more way to close
down legitimate debates. Which we knew anyway.

I wonder how the BBC would react if Boris or Farage had similar allegations made against them?
Sam - indeed. The BBC would never let it go and would cobble together special programmes to examine every accusation and every nuance.
