Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
If i were a socialist member of her CLP, I'd be perfectly happy for her to be as 'credible' as she likes...now that she's gone and is highly unlikely to stand successfully as an Independent.

In this case, 'everyone' appears to be you and SK. And you had forgotten about it until he reminded you.
Because th
She'd of left in the same way with one less stone to throw. When it comes to an election and she's wheeled out that credibility may sway a few people. She can still do damage pissing in and her streams a little stronger now.

Maybe they meant it?.
Apparently Jo Bird is being introduced as a candidate, still a member of Labour despite joking about 'Jew process' earlier this year.

Aye, Jewish woman, whom ran a progressive Co-op, Olive Co op, was very active against anti-semites in the Palestinian Solidarity campaign. .

Its a strange place for this joke though, when talking about Jackie Walker and Marc Wadsworth.
.”JVL is calling for disciplinary hearings to be paused until a due process has been established based on principles of natural justice. What I call Jew process.”
Well, I dunno - I know that when I'm a bit nervous - for example, when making a speech in front of a load of people - I often make awkward and self deprecating jokes. It's pretty normal. Either way I don't think it's really for me to police when a jew makes jokes about jews.

So I replied to a Twitter mention of today's Telegraph headline of 'Jews will leave if Corbyn elected' (or words to that effect) which is just James Cleverley giving it the old 'My Jewish friends said...' line. I asked honestly of some people replying to agree that a Labour gov would be terrible for Jewish people what they felt would be so bad that it would merit Jews uprooting their entire lives in this country.
One person replied that he thought they would/could (I'm not sure which he meant) do the following:
- Remove security funding to Jewish schools - this seems unlikely to me, there'd be a huge outcry and there couldn't be much justification as it can't be costing all that much money (we pay at least in part towards security at son's Jewish school)
- Make kosher slaugher illegal (ie through demanding animals are stunned beforehand) -I guess this one could happen, although the way I see it people who support this are coming entirely from an animal rights perspective, not a 'Haha, let's fuck up the Jews' one
- Reduce holocaust education in schools - can't see why they'd do this, it would make them look really bad
- End Holocaust Memorial Day - ditto,sounds like bullshit. Not that I am the biggest fan of HMD in the UK anyway.
Anyone know why people think Labour might do this? Have any of these been suggested by someone who actually has an influence on mainstream party policy?

It sounds like fantasy propaganda shit. I suppose some people might believe it honestly if they have seen it repeated on Facebook groups etc. But I've also noticed an uptick of Twitter accounts which spam posts about Labour and particularly Corbyn with "I suppose he's great if you're not Jewish" type comments.

Just shortlisted to be the Labour candidate for Birmingham Hall Green, cllr Majid Mahmood.
Mahmood had referred to ‘chosen people’ and said it was a shame a plane carrying Israelis ‘didn’t blow up mid air’.

It's desperate made up stuff. It's in people's heads and it's like them saying 'He is going to make being Jewish illegal' it's propaganda stoked by the MSM with all the 'existential threat' stuff.

Tell me, how sure are you that this MM in Hertfordshire is the same MM as the one in brum?
And how sure are you that you're not spreading false red-baiting shit on a particularly dodgy basis.
Is this the same guy? The possible Labour candidate has been a Labour councillor for years, but there's no mention of the antisemitic guy being a Labour councillor in the 2017 story. There's plenty of other Majid Mahmoods working as solicitors too.

It's not, as even a minutes checking rather than gleeful sharing would have shown. Interesting to see where this false claim started from.
It's being shared widely on twitter. haven't seen anyone question it yet.

Which is where I got it from, and it looks like it's untrue.
don't you think to check these things first? It took me all of 30 seconds googling to find out it was dodgy as fuck.
