except he has been let back in to labour. he just hasn't had the whip restored. it's your party, you ought to know what's going on with it. but you don't. even for the labour party you're a poor specimen.

can't be because sorry is the hardest word, they've liberally sprinkled sorry over the last dozen of their posts

oh please. it's been widely reported that corbyn was readmitted to the party but not to the parliamentary labour party. if you didn't know that, or can't understand or express that very simple thing then it's time to give up now.

This time with feeling
Please don't take this the wrong way, but are you unwell in some way?
You seem desperate to take offence at some slight that I am totally unaware of.
I'm not even clear whether you think I oppose Corbyn and am attacking him, or am supporting him without justification.

You asked if anyone disputes what corbyn said. Faced with what corbyn said, Literally what he said, you can't. You can't defend what he said, yet want to damn others for unable to do so.
Is this your first time at a harvesters?

You remember when you asked if people disputed the corbyn statement? You started that. And you're unable to answer, despite demanding that others do.

rummo is there a fact in the second sentence here ? I’ve read this thing quite a few times and still don’t know what he meant.
Not that it matters much to me tbh, but if you strongly agree with it maybe you can explain it. What combination hurt jews.
“One antisemite is one too many, but the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media. That combination hurt Jewish people and must never be repeated.”

almost like language is more than a series of propositions with true/false tickboxes by them isn't it

OK.
Just to be clear, you're asking me to say what my interpretation is of what Corbyn said.
I think he's saying
1. There was some anti Semitism in the Labour Party
2. Those opposed to him hugely exaggerated the extent of the problem.
3. Jewish people, assuming that the claimed exaggerated level of anti Semitism was correct were hurt.
I think he's right about 1 & 2. I would question 3. I think most Jewish people knew what was happening and disliked Corbyn for reasons other than any supposed anti Semitism on his part.

Couldn't be clearer could it......
Maybe a mixture of concern about what a Corbyn government would mean for UK policy in the Middle East, which a lot of British Jews understandably regard as important to them because of their emotional attachment to Israel, which is fair enough, and a class based aversion to the sort of left wing economic policies a Corbyn government might entail.

“British Jews”, for the hard of thinking, are not “a class”, even with the qualifier “a lot” of Jews.
Furthermore, the Board of Deputies of British Jews is a 250 year old religious committee. And you’re telling us it’s conservative? Oh my! How did we ever manage without your rapier like perspicacity?
Bit of a stretcher to claim either of those two points are anywhere near anti Semitic. A lot of British Jews do have an emotional attachment to Israel. There's nothing wrong with that. And some, a minority, British Jews couldn't care less about Israel. Which is fine too.
And there's nothing remotely anti Semitic in recognising that as overall British Jews tend now to be disproportionately (compared to society as a whole) better off, so more likely to be Tory voters. Just like every other ethnic, religious or whatever group.
