Yeah Burney and WES are right - there would have been no benefit at all in in Andrew Neil asking him to explain this comment :rolleyes:

Look m, I know you and your people are a little sensitive just now but Israel - Really? It's a bit like an unruly mob of Romans pitching up in England and forcibly reclaiming their old stomping grounds, doubtless claiming that having built the infastructure, they had a valid legal case.
Sadly, we have to accept that, in light of all the available evidence, 32% of the electorate are prepared to vote for a rabid anti-semite, which suggests that a third of the adult population of this country are confirmed jew-haters.
You're not going to change their minds about Corbyn because he hates jews. They like that he hates jews. :shrug:
Whether this sickness on the left has been caused by decades of using Israel as a front to pander to the muslim vote is a further question... I believe may otherwise decent people have simply been brainwashed by the constant dripfeed of propaganda by the leftist media into believing that Israel, and by extension all jews, are evil.
I hate to do this WES but I'll have to sort of side with our wasp-breeder-in-chief monty on this. I have never actually seen any footage or images of Corbyn laying the wreath though I'm sure such footage exists. I have read and heard more about his transgressions from AWIMB than any other source. Just sayin' like.
It's always played second fiddle to the far less damaging claim that he's been too weak in dealing with the problem in the party, which can always be countered with claims of Tory racism.
Corbyn's personal history should place him among the most reviled public figures on earth among all anti-racists, and it would be very simple to frame the charge sheet against him in a way that makes it impossible for any of his supporters to defend.
This has always been an option that every interviewer, including the otherwise fantastic Neil, has chosen to reject.
