Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Well a couple of things (again). First, okay, there has been a distinct lack of spin (refreshing) but a considerable amount of naivity (bloody annoying) over the timing of the enquiry apropos of Chakrabarti's membership and peerage. They really should have seen the flak coming. However, all the dark talk in the world about how these things can't just be coincidences, etc., is NOT EVIDENCE THAT SHE ACCEPTED A PEERAGE IN RETURN FOR A WHITEWASH. Next, the facts of the matter. We KNOW what remarks by Livingstone, Shah and others led to this furore. We KNOW what Chakrabarti said about those remarks and other ignorant and inappropriate comments. She reached a conclusion that there were matters to be addressed but that Labour is not overrun by antisemitism. Which it bloody isn't. So where's the whitewash? Do you actually know the substance of any other remarks that haven't been made public or are you just inventing stuff in your mind to demonise Labour as much as you can?
