Anti-Semitism and the British Left.

Yep, she walks in somewhere and it all kicks off. If I were her I'd go around in a flak jacket and a tin hat.

We all hoped that when Kate Adie retired from her life of warmongering and kicking off genocides we would at least have a descent break! But the BBC isn't going to rest until every non cardigan sporting WASP is subjugated.

Anyone want to try the same tweet, but substituting "Tower Hamlets" and "Muslims"? We can set a stopwatch to see how quickly the police would turn up to arrest the author for hate crime

Indeed... same goes for George Galloway. If I declared Bournemouth a Pakistani free area I'd already be hearing the cuffs.

Emily Thornberry is going instead. I'd love to be there. I'd help her with the dessert.

Indeed, especially when you consider what the event is celebrating.

Yes they are,the issue is definition .over 90% of jews believe Jews have the right to self determination which is the simplest form of Zionism.The figure falls dramatically if you redefine Zionism to mean its more extreme elements .

Well saying Zionism means anything is just like saying most jews support Zionism. It's too wide a topic for such brush-strokes, and when look I find more than enough dislike of what Zionism currently stands for for the 'most' title to ring hollow.

Corbyn turns down an invitation for an official dinner with the Israeli PM, who whatever you think of him is still the leader of one of our closest allies.

Yet at the same time he mixes, in parliament, with the group below.

To be fair, the small talk will all be arms contracts and how Israel should get a better discount than Saudi.

did I just hear that Harriet Harman told a joke about getting 100 Jewish people into a mini. I won't do the punch line because its just outrageous and whatever context she pretends to refer to she is way way out of order.

Not just that, quoted as stating that Andrew Neill would consider it 'alright'... That's a pretty huge insinuation.

Yep - I find that sort of 'joke' equally offensive to those about Asians or black people. It seems Jews are 'fair game' for some people. Shame on Harman.

[Lotobear]

Yep, the Harperson is definately off Andrew's crimbo list now.

A pretty crass thing to say for a supposedly experienced politician.

I don't think this is going to go well for her Neil is quite upset by the event .
