Thread Name: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Teribus, if you publicly accuse named people of antisemitism you'd better have chapter and verse. The reason why no names were named harks back to that good ol' tenet of the rule of law, that you are innocent until PROVEN guilty. Neither the Labour Party nor anyone else is entitled to bandy names around unless (a) they are absolutely certain that they have the accused persons bang to rights, or (b) they have a bloody good lawyer. The fact that names were not named could be taken to imply that definite conclusions about the intentionsw of the accused were not possible. Naturally, you'll put your own interpretation on it according to your personal agenda, won't you. Too bad. The thing is, you don't know.
