Not so Greg F. - I am not the only person who thinks this whole thing stinks, not by a long shot.

Chakrabarti's report was supposed to be "independent" - it clearly would have been so and beyond question had she remained politically neutral - yet for some reason just over two weeks after having been given the task she feels she has to join the Labour Party.

Corbyn stated that he would never appoint anyone to the House of Lords. He has only ever lobbied for and put forward one nomination - Shami Chakrabarti - a staunch, loyal and valued member of the Labour Party who had given invaluable service for all of 14 weeks - Of course it was entirely coincidental and totally immaterial that she just happened to be investigating the Labour Party for racist behaviour at the time.

Chakrabarti accepted the honour, the timing of which could not have been worse, in doing so she shot the integrity of her report and herself to shreds. She did that Greg F. not me, not Keith A, not Akenaton or bobad, She did that and rather a large number of people, in politics, in various action groups and in the media think that. Maybe that is why there was so much chatter about it.
