I can see the issue here. But we rarely talk about the absolute facts in this whole discussion. How many cases of AS of members was reported to the appropriate body for them to be disciplined, and what is this as a proportion of membership. Where this is proven I hope all have been expelled.
The fact that in a sample of 1000 allegations, over 800 were attributed to non-Labour members making it impossible to action.
Luciana Berger was horribly abused and those responsible were charged and sentenced… the whole affair was attributed to Labour members and yet they were not.
You can’t deal with a small core of horrible racists and get rid of them when you are having to deal with things outside of your remit which you can’t fix.
These are historic crimes that happened last week and the police are not in the business of investigating historical crimes from last week. Said respected lawyer Dominic Raab.I’m sure Cressida Dick will be along shortly to confirm there’s nothing to see here.
Fine I agree. But policing should be in the form of a proper disciplinary system that is clear and efficient. Reeves comments are an example of how that very process becomes compromised - she has absolutely fuck all evidence to back up her assertion.The overarching point is there’s a strand of left wing politics, to which Corbyn subscribes, and which I used to in my youth TBF, which travels right up to the line and in many cases over it on AS. The Rothschild conspiracies, the hook nosed bankers controlling politicians, etc. It’s the mainstream lefts job to police that border strongly. Just as it’s up to the mainstream right to police the border between patriotism and border controls and outright racism and nationalism.
I never said Trump would win in 2020, the polls were clear it was going to be a Biden win and they were impressively accurate. The same polls had Biden ahead throughout the run up and during Trumps presidency. They now have Trump as a very clear winner.
I'm not sure I completely agree with that. Anti-Semitism is so pernicious because it transcends the political divide.The overarching point is there’s a strand of left wing politics, to which Corbyn subscribes, and which I used to in my youth TBF, which travels right up to the line and in many cases over it on AS.

The instinct from Corbyn and others to first back someone ideologically close to you rather than distance yourself from their racism is what did him in.

Sure you have left wingers thinking jews are associated with wealth and the capitalist class but you also have right wingers who think they use their secret power to try and get rid of the family unit and undermine the power of the nation.
Obviously it's all bollocks.
It is correct if labour are serious about being a political party again the 80’s retro band of Momentum need to be chucked
Trump isn't going to win anything. That's just utter bollocks and is the tired nonsense continuation of the drivel that said Trump would win in 2020.
Also the labour party are never going to win from a Labour left position. MacDonald, Atlee, Wilson and Blair were not from the left of the party.

You totally do and you have nationalist left wingers (see Lexiters), I just think it’s more pernicious on the left because we have a blind spot for it. I know I did until I learned more about the subject.
Overall, is this a hill worth dying on or do you just condemn the racists and move on with life? Corbyn has decided it’s the hill he wants to die on, it’s a bit rich to complain that he’s dead.
The worst thing for Biden is he's had much of the media on his side the whole time , trump from day 1 was quite the opposite, how badly must you be doing to have a lower approval than trump despite thisBiden’s approval rating has gone through the floor because he has failed to fundamentally change anything, just as he promised. If he had bothered to press gang Manchin into backing the BBB bill perhaps his approval wouldn’t be below Trump’s

Would ya?

Mad that it was the parties that did it when this shit is going on.
Shmmeee, playing the game like Labour has over the few decades is what has gotten them into this mess in the first place.

Labour played Murdoch’s game until he jettisoned them. Wonder if he’ll come calling again in the future.Labour haven’t been playing the game for about 20 years… or rather have been playing it spectacularly badly.

I'm 54.Don’t think it matters too much TBH. News is made elsewhere these days. The Suns circulation is hovering around 1m people, which is nothing like 1997 when it was closer to 4m and there weren’t many alternate news sources.
On the face of it I’d agree… but you know that he’s got his fingers in the other ‘news outlets’ and you only have to look at Facebook and Cov-ID to see there are a lot of easily influenced people out there.Don’t think it matters too much TBH.

I'm 54.
I get my news from the BBC.
I read the guardian website to reinforce my views, and the Daily Mail website to see what the other side is thinking.
I refuse to pay for the Telegraph or the Times and don't know how to circumvent their paywalls.
I don't bother with the Mirror or the Sun, and the less said about the Daily Express the better.
Where else should I be looking?
