Labour say don't vote labour

[Odds]

It's the Wellingborough by-election that should worry Rish! - they have an 18,000 majority in a 'safe seat' that's expected to become a Labour victory as voters are set to kick out the Tories in a clear message ahead of the GE later this year.
The European Conservative
Mr. Peanuts Reform Party are predicted to eat into the Tory vote and hand Labour a big win.

Let’s hope so

Starmy’s initial response was the standard lets see if it will go away playbook. It was never going to. These things are always drip fed but he was wrong not to have acted decisively and stuck to it. The Labor candidate might still get elected given the demographic.

The Jewish Chronicle reports: Azhar Ali wasn’t the only speaker at the mosque to have made inflammatory statements over the past ten months. Others have attacked Zionism as the result of “totalitarian brainwashing”, and urged parents to “de-programme” their children if they were taught about LGBT issues at school.

When people talked previously about anti-semitism in the Labour party, I had always assumed they meant ultra left Corbynite types, who had an ideological problem. It had never occurred to me that there might be another source.

Such is his committment Starmy will soon be telling people not to vote labour

I never understood why Labour is full of so many Jew haters. The lefties constantly scream racist at everyone else.

Racism is everywhere- it’s not a white privilege thing.

It's very complicated. I have had many muslim friends and colleagues and I have never heard a single word against jews or Israel. I have heard more dislike of jews from evangelical christians. I was quite recently having a discussion about the Holy Trinity in Abrahamic faiths and this provoked an instant "The jews killed Jesus" reaction.

 

[JonathanM]

In fact, the last time I had a discussion with a muslim about these issues, the only negative comment she made was that it is ironic that hindhus and buddhists have a reputation for being peaceful when there are many instances of both persecuting muslims.

I wouldnt say its full of them, but there is certainly a contingent

They hide behind socialist ideology as an excuse to be unpleasant

Sadly Corbyn, Galloway, the irritating journo Owen Jones etc has encouraged this behaviour

Were you having the conversation with evangelical Christians?

Were you having the conversation with evangelical Christians?

Yes, the conversation which provoked that reaction was with evangelical christians.

Figures. Mel Gibson sparked a storm in a teacup saying that a few years ago.
Were they Baptists?
