Why is it coming out now?.Your post was about Dr Alex Scott-Samuel - he's been a member for 40 years.
This isn't a Corbyn thing, it's been there all along.
I don't believe David Duke is eligible for membership.
until very recently, everyone didn't have an instantly searchable database of every stupid thing they said in the last 10 years.Why is it coming out now?.

Vonckers everywhere you lookOr because he is the chair of a CLP which put forward a VONC against a Jew, for ‘undermining’ corbyn over antisemtism. A VONC proposed by an antisemite that is.

I believe soMakhno said something similar didn’t he?
I agree with this more or less, apart from the first bit - the cranks have always been vocal - hence why so many of the offending tweets etc unearthed are from before 2015.Labours problem is that the loons think they've finally been given the nod to go public - they think (rightly or wrongly) that Corbyn is one of them, and that he thinks is what they think, but that he is constrained by 'politics', whilst they are his attack dogs.
That goes equally for the old timers who've had to keep their heads down under previous labour leaders, and new entrants.
I don't think Labour will shift them - being loons they don't hear things they don't like, so Corbyn can tell them to fuck off till he's blue in the face, but they'll never believe anything other than that he might be saying that but what he means is 'keep the faith, we believe the same thing'.
Loons being loons they'll latch on to anything, but Corbyn hasn't helped himself with the people he's associated himself with, the dabbling in conspiraloonery he's done - if you lie with dogs for long enough, you'll pick up fleas.
When has Labour not been racist? When have the Tories not been even more racist for that matter? Same old shite. Fuck the lot of 'em. Mind you, Corbyn is probably less racist than your average Tory MP or backbench Labour MP but that doesn't sell papers or fit the current agenda.
What’s the title of this thread again?
Indeed, we are allowed to talk about related things though. How would you say compare the dangers of antisemitism from Labour and the "far left" with that from the Tories and the "far right"?
Who's worried? I don't give a fuck about the Labour Party to be honest. It's interesting to watch the hypocritical bullshit from various sides, mind.Are we allowed to challenge racism because of the, you know, principle of doing so? Why are socialists/anarchists worrying over how the media is spinning it or which party is more racist?
You've lost me there.

Casually dismissed?
From about 18 mins in:
Corbyn is the reason they're in Labour and they will be around until he's gone.
What proof do you have that Scott-Samuel is an anti-Semite?
Er... as in, I didn't understand youHow so?
