DeeGee - going down the road a bit Holloway is definitely being gentrified now if not already

Amazing how being anti-Zionist has been conflated with anti-Semitism. Israel’s conduct in the occupied territories has been utterly horrific. |

@jda - yes, that's a lingering concern. It shouldn't be underplayed or dismissed, and should be dealt with seriously. And the issue does influence others (e.g. my wife (Catholic) - one of her biggest concerns about Corbyn is how badly the issue has been handled)

The problem is that every week Guido uncovers a new example of anti-Semitic behaviour by a labour representative or candidate. So the story keeps running. No smoke etc

To provide a bit of context, people sometimes talk about the ancient "blood libel" myth but right here right now Priti Patel is happy to sacrifice real live genuine British orphans in Syria for political ends.

But, TMW, is it in Guido's editorial interest to also unearth examples of anti-Semitic behaviour by Conservatives? Personally, I don't think he'll fancy putting the work in to report on that.

DeeGee clearly it is not but equally the story is not that is it. I’m sure that the Tories are perhaps better at obscuring their racism and anti-semitism that’s all. |

DG, we were around there at about the same time as it turns out, my wife met Corbyn around then too. Anyhow, this is what the term is commonly understood as en.wikipedia.org |
