    Well, we could start with 'being best mates with an organisation whose charter commits it to the task of killing all the jews', move on to supporting the depiction of jews as evil, grasping bankers, or his refusal to address Livingstone's bizarre 'Hitler was a Zionist' theories, and move on from there.

    Well there was the time Jez said that 'Zionists' had failed to understand the English sense of irony "despite living here their entire lives" (clear suggestion that Jews are somehow distinct from 'real' English people).

    Then there was the time he praised a mural featuring classic anti-semitic caricatures.

    Then there are all the times he's praised/shared platforms/extended invites to/commemorated people who kill Jews, encourage the killing of Jews, repeat the blood libel, call for the bloody destruction of Israel, etc, etc, etc.

    We could be here all day just doing Corbyn, tbh. And that's before we get on to some of his followers.

    The terrifying thing is the size of the numbers there. Tens of thousands of people obsessed with 5th form politics.

    I bet there are dickheads there wearing keffiyehs.

    What in God's name does 'Justice for the Windrush generation' actually mean?

    Do they still do that, do you think? How embarrassing.

    I'm not really sure about the Windrush thing, tbh. Isn't it just this year's Grenfell? Or is it something to do with Lenny Henry?

    They came via the detailed testimony of Oleg Gordievsky, who was by some distance the most effective and reliable agent the West ever had inside the KGB - indeed, probably the most effective agent of the whole Cold War. His material was invariably highly detailed and accurate and he had no reason whatsoever to make up the stuff about 'Agent Boot' (as Foot was known).
    The closest they came to being 'proven' was in being proven to be *******s. He sued the paper and won.

    Ben Macintyre has reported it.

    Ben Macintyre is never wrong.

    Foot, like Benn, was a Soviet stooge and tried to sell the British people into slavery.

    Such are socialists.

    Its political capital. A load of black people were basically told they weren't British while Theresa May was at the Home Office.

    The sheer importance attached to Palestine by huge sections of the party is the most unnerving aspect of this.

    Smearing a man like Michael Foot is pretty despicable.

    I guess there's just a meanness in this world.

    Well, either they were British, or they weren't. I'm pretty sure that these matters are governed by some legal definition, rather than the opinion of the Home Secretary or a civil servant.
