"When I was a child in the late 50's early 60's MY parents taught me it was wrong to label people as such. Not only MY parents but the parents of my friends and acquaintances. Not one of us would utter a word like that."

Then they all sat down to watch "The Black and White Minstrel Show" which ran from 1958 until 1978. Described as light entertainment it was considered extremely popular - even won prizes at Montreux.

"'There was no major antisemitism found in the Labour Party"

I think the report concluded that there was no institutionalised anti-Semitism in the Labour Party - that does under no circumstances means that anti-Semitism did not exist - far too many recommendations related to actions that have to be taken to eradicate the practice for it not to exist. Someone chirped up about transparency - If there was indeed real transparency then names would have been named, the fact that they weren't with any other political party or organisation the "usual suspects" would be screaming "whitewash" and "cover-up" from the roof-tops.
