Labour leader sorry for pain caused by 'pockets' of anti-semitism.
 |
There
is clearly an "agenda" behind the current spate of media
fuelled hysteria in connection with "anti semitism in the Labour
party". It is acknowledged that there are a small number of
individuals within the party who behave in a manner which can be
described as anti semitic, but the leadership generally and Jeremy
Corbyn in particular, have roundly condemned such behaviour and the
culprits can be under no illusions as to the fact that antisemitism
and racism in any form has no place within the Labour party. Corbyn
has on numerous occasions, apologised for such behaviour within the
party and condemned in unequivocal terms, antisemitism and racism in
all its forms.
However,
this has done nothing to assuage the torrents of abuse, criticism and
belligerence, aimed it seems directly at Jeremy Corbyn, screaming
from the front pages of the national press every day, and pouring out
from our television screens on every news bulletin from BBC and Sky.
In addition, the way in which certain elements within other
organisations are whipping up hostility towards the Labour party
leadership, notwithstanding the fact that many of their own members
are opposed to such hostility and many are actually members of or
have recently joined the Labour party, indicates some degree of
orchestration by a few individuals, intent on destroying unity within
the party and sabotaging our election prospects locally and
nationally.

A
few Labour MP's, no doubt still smarting from Jeremy Corbyn achieving
overwhelming victories in two Leadership elections, and still
enjoying unassailable support from the ever increasing party
membership, never the less continue with their endeavors to
undermine, discredit and ultimately overthrow Corbyn and to replace
him with one from their own number. In this quest they have employed
any tactic, excuse or reasoning which they might muster and are no
doubt encouraged by the lurid headlines emanating from the front
pages of many national dailies, and from television which over recent
months has branded Jeremy Corbyn as a traitor to the United Kingdom,
a Communist Spy for Czechoslovakia, Terrorist sympathiser, a
Stalinist, a liar and numerous other unsavoury and untrue ladels
designed to smear and undermine his leadership. Now the latest and
perhaps most despicable defamations are those of anti semitic and
racist. These, leveled at the man who all his life has opposed racism
in all its forms, for many years campaigned against the Apartheid
regime of South Africa, opposed antisemitism and anti semitic
organisations like the NF and BNP. A lifelong campaign against the
obscenity and excesses of racial and religious intolerance, now
overlooked by media and some party members intent on their own agenda
and ambitions.
This
campaign will no doubt continue against Corbyn but those responsible,
who do not even have the backbone of their convictions to reveal
their true intentions, will ultimately fail in their quest as the
membership of the party are fully supportive of the leader and the
British public are coming to realise that this offensive has little
if anything to do with antisemitism, but everything to do with a few
disgruntled people in the media and in Parliament, seeking to remove
the elected leader and replace him with a malleable alternative.
