Steve Shaw BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party (2383* d) RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party 07 Sep 16


Right, Keith here's what Wadsworth said at the Chakrabarti report launch.

"I saw that the Telegraph handed a copy of a press release to Ruth Smeeth MP so you can see who is working hand in hand. If you look around this room, how many African Caribbean and Asian people are there? We need to get our house in order." (There's a video of him saying this on the Independent website, by the way).

Got that, Keith? Now. Here's what Smeeth said in response to that.

"I was verbally attacked by a Momentum activist and Jeremy Corbyn supporter who used traditional anti-Semitic slurs to attack me for being part of a "media conspiracy". It is beyond belief that someone could come to the launch of a report about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party and espouse such vile conspiracy theories against Jewish people."

Now what I would like you to do, Keith, is pick over what Wadsworth said and tell me precisely, no smears, generalisations or slurs now, what was antisemitic about what he said. You may wish, of course, to bear in mind that he said he didn't know she was Jewish. I actually think that makes no difference one way or the other. Come on, Keith. Which of his words were antisemitic and why do you think so?
