Nope but it is prevalent among the section of the party (something acknowledged by among others the boy Jones in a recent article) that he leads and which he is the most prominent figure in that section . You're very quick to point the finger at Conservatives with dodgy ties - does this not work both ways. Is he not be tainted by the company he keeps too?
Apart from all of the jewish people in the actual party, of course, of which there are loads.
I've seen anti-semitism on the left, I've seen snti-semitism on the right, I've seen anti-semitism in the center.
I've also seen political opponents of all of these groups attempt to overplay it for their own political ends.
And how do they feel about rampant anti-semitism from the 'nice' people around them being ignored by 'nice' Mr Corbyn, who is 'friends' with the gentlemen who lead organisations predicated on the destruction of their race, I wonder?Quote:

Many of whom are now expressing serious concern about the direction that party is taking and the increasing prevalence of anti-semitism within it, you mean?Quote:

There's also something massively unappealing about some of the finger pointing, lots of pot calling the kettle black.
I'm not sure it's actually anything within the Labour party, but he has shared a platform with a fair few people I certainly wouldnt have been comfortable with standing alongside at some rallies. Especially if he harboured any ambitions as leader, which obviously he never did.Quote:

Especially the emasculated BBC who would prefer to stay out of the firing line rather than run critical pieces nowadays.
Are you some sort of perishing Part-Keeeeeenyan?
No, no point scoring going on when Cameron, in parliament, starts pointing out the people Khan has associated with, while neglecting to mention that his own candidate for London Mayor was actively petitioning on his behalf.
Interesting to see you can agree with Jones occasionally though.
Yes, there is a problem with anti semitism, yes it does exist on the left, but let's not pretend it's somehow ideologically isolated there.
