Or the one where Anne Widdicombe said he had something of the night about him?
Is this *really* a left right thing though, or is it just a thing thing?
Look,can we all just stop talking about Jews? They invented communism you know.And capitalism come to think of it.
Oh, I'm happy to concede that Ann Widdecombe was and is simply a nasty, old-fashioned Catholic anti-semite.
However, none of that distracts from the fact that right now there is an endemic problem with anti-semitism on the left. The reason for it is quite simple and quite obvious - namely the fact that the left (which now controls the party) has uncomfortably close ties with extremist Islam via groups such as Stop The War and various anti-Israel alliances. So the problem is not that it's one or two bad guys, it's that the left is now inextricably linked with active and vicious anti-semites of the very worst kind and the Party is unable and unwilling to face that fact.
Yes. And just as there are those on the left that attempt to hide their anti-semitism under the cover of anti-zionism, there are those on the right who attempt to exploit Islamaphobia under the guise of anti-anti-semitism....
It's a funny old world, eh?
