Thread Name: BS: UK politics. Last ditch attempt
Subject: RE: BS: UK politics. Last ditch attempt
Naz Shah's transgression occurred before she became an MP. She made a comment about Israel, not about Jews. It's all there for the seeing. She quickly apologised for her naivety and had a strip torn off her by Jeremy Corbyn. We've been here a thousand times on this forum and bringing it up again is vexatious. I suggest that you look up Naz's parliamentary career since she was first elected in 2015. She is far and away one of the most popular MPs in the country, despite being Labour, and with good reason. You could do worse than look into her back story too. No privilege, no Eton, no Bullingdon Club here. This country needs a lot more of remarkable people like her. But do feel free to cherrypick ancient history. The rest of us might like to take a broader view. Facts are best taken in context and in the round, but that's an aspect of life that serially eludes you.
