No contribution to the discussion again Pfr.
Just personal stuff, as from Jim and Steve.

What I complained of from Jim, and suggested that it merited expulsion, was his advocating of personal attacks on another member.

Sunday Times today,

"A black rights activist linked to the left-wing group Momentum has been suspended from the Labour Party over remarks drawing parallels between Zionism and the Nazis.

Marlene Ellis, the acting general secretary of Momentum Black ConneXions, a group of Jeremy Corbyn's supporters promoting black rights, signed a letter criticising Labour for suspending Ken Livingstone.

The action against the former mayor of London was taken pending an investigation after he claimed that Hitler had once supported Zionism and that antisemitism was not exactly the same as racism. He has denied antisemitism."
