Ken Livingstone

So did you agree with what Cameron said?

I am not criticising Goldsmith and am not criticising Khan for sharing a platform with somebody ( read my post) was merely saying what Cameron said at PMQ's today.
There is a lot of jumping to conclusions on this forum.

Because Goldsmith is a Tory he is above criticism , yes rosesarered ?

Roses, why are you not criticising Goldsmith for sharing a platform with the same man?

Perhaps Cameron and Goldsmith could also get their facts straight.

Corbyn could easily have refuted the 'friends' claim if he had wanted to do so at PMQ's today.He could have said ' of course they are not friends, it was just the terminology I used' ..... It begs the question then, why did he NOT say that?

That's because he called him "dodgy" I could think of something much more suitable.

Get the facts right! Cameron did not say that Khan supported terrorists, but that he shared a platform with a couple ofsuspects, ( on more than one occasion )and one of them being the man who trained the 7/7 bombers.

Cameron can accuse a fellow MP of supporting terrorists but Dennis is not allowed to say he thinks Cameron is dodgy

Does anyone believe that Trump's accusations that Cruz's father was involved in JFK's murder, whipped up by the Press- was a coïncidence- really?

Yes I noted what Cameron stood up in parliament and said about Kahn supporting terrorists. Parliamentary privilege stops him being sued I suppose. He simply is hoping some of the mud will stick I guess.

But it's how the Tories fight elections

It is all such nonsense.

Ed was anti Semitic ? So one is now anti Semitic if one criticises Israel and a person born a Jew is anti Semitic because they do not trot along to the tabernacle .

God help anyone who eats bacon

I've just spent half an hour browsing Ed Miliband's Facebook page (the luxury of having too much time!) and it's interesting to see that even before the 2015 election, Ed was being attacked as antisemitic. Eh?

Not forgetting KL was interviewed by a Jew

Can't wait to see the Conservatives and UKIP do the same with anti-Muslims, must say. It's going to be a massive clear-out...

Timing? Did Ken say what he did to sabotage elections? Hardly.
Stupid to take things personally, the elements of anti-semites in the Labour Party do not reflect badly on other individuals.However, to try and deny the whole thing, rather than accept that yes,there are some and they need rooting out is just hiding heads in the sand.

I dont think Labour members do themselves any favours in trying to downplay things.
Fair enough questioning the timing though.

No Ana- but they knew just what buttons to press- and he allowed himself to fall right for it out of sheer annoyance and exasperation. Not excusing him.

Perhaps they thought they would shut up, but dont see the need now?

So long standing , senior members of the Labour Party supported a leader who is a Jew until 2015 then suddenly became racist and anti Semitic . I think the rabbi is strengthening the 'don't criticise Israel ' brigade

True granjura, why wait until now to attack Naz, why not when she was standing in the election,

Why no condemnation of Goldsmith using the bombed London bus in an attempt to gain votes , because Naz criticised Israel, Goldsmith attacked a man who is a Muslim

The Chief Rabbi referred to "senior and long-standing members of the Labour Party", and to "anti-semitism in the Labour Party". He did not refer loosely to just "the Labour Party".

I don't think his line of reasoning about Judaism and Zionism is very helpful or convincing, and in accusing DL and Malia Boattia of presumption he comes across as being as arrogant as he implies they are, but I am no expert in Judaism.

You mean Ken was in on it...?
