If given the choice would you rather

It's a choice between a charlatan and very popular social democratic policies.

But Johnson hasn't got social democratic policies....

A racist or an anti semite, who should I choose.

The one who won't bankrupt the country.

The one who doesn't want to crash out with No Deal then. Or even better, the one who wants to remain.

Literally no evidence Corbyn is an anti-semite. Nothing more than guilt by association which could be applied to almost anyone who runs in those spaces.

Not like he’s written newspaper columns about letterboxes and picaninnies.

Silly bothsidesism.

Bothsidesism, never heard that before, I like it.

I think the 'buffoon' version of Boris is an act to disarm people. Those close to him all say that he's a very intelligent man. He also happens to have a very insidious, Machiavellian side to him that has got him the top job.

Corbyn does and wasn't anti-Semitic last time I checked. Evidence always welcome.

The weight of evidence is enormous against Corbyn - just because you choose to ignore it does not invalidate it

He’s certainly critical of the Israel’s government in certain areas so you could probably call him an anti-Zionist but then anti-Zionism is a Jewish invention so not sure how that can be classed anti-Semitic.

It’s a pile of bollocks.

Is he critical of Israel? Absolutely as should most people be.

It just appears to be fashionable and lazy to make it equate to anti-semitism without any proper analysis or understanding.

As one left wing journalist observed Mr Corbyn if not racist or an advocate of terrorism he’s very unlucky as he’s shared a stage with far more than the average politician

This very true. It's also part of the problem as the IHRA can be interpreted as any criticism of Israel, Israeli policy or Netanyahu is anti-semitism. Unfortunately this takes away from genuine anti-semitism.

For example the irony the other day that Israel had knocked down an illegal settlement on Palestinian lands as it's too close to the Israeli border when Israel presses on with West Bank building.

So you’ve taken the ‘word’ of a ‘left-wing’ journo as evidence.

Right then....

You never hear the same ‘outrage’ from the Labour friends of Palestine group about the ‘problem’

You are also right - the fact this has been politicised makes it incredibly difficult to effectively deal with ACTUAL anti-semitism.

The whole anti-semitism thing is a side issue / distraction.

If you want to criticise Corbyn, it’s so much easier to do it on the basis that he’s not effective as an opposition leader. Ever since Cameron / Osborne, opposing this current generation of Tories should have been like shooting fish in a barrel - and it’s only getting easier. It’s a target rich environment but somehow he never manages to land a punch.

As for Johnson - beneath contempt. He’s got himself plenty of rope now, let’s see how he does.
