Pun-inspiring Labour candidate for South Cambridge Dan Greef got the Guido Fawkes treatment yesterday after Mr Staines & Co. did some archaeological digging on Twitter and found the usual 'offensive' anti-Israel tweets which almost inevitably appear to litter Corbyn Era Labour feeds these days. Now, I think his May 2010 tweet about voting for the BNP was obviously meant as a joke and some of his tweets referencing Israel and UK parliamentary 'Friends of Israel' groups are ambiguous, and the standout one saying 'Had a great day at a concentration camp' lacks enough context to make it properly damning (if such things matter these days - as they do to me)...but there's nothing particularly ambiguous about him saying "Bloody Israel. I sometimes want to rip it all up!" or his support for then-Lib Dem MP David Ward ("Good man!") after Mr Ward marked the Holocaust by comparing the Nazi treatment of the Jews to Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, or his re-tweeting of someone calling David Cameron "the finest PM Israel can buy". So is just another anti-Israel obsessive, or worse? So far there's nothing on the BBC News website about this or, according to TV Eyes, even on BBC local news (TV or radio).
Excellent restraint, avoiding a play on "Greef" in your headline...otherwise I might had to respond with "Not another pun!"
ReplyDeleteWould anyone be surprised if Guido had several more of these ready for slow release over the next couple of weeks?
That in itself tells you so much about the Marxist-Corbynist Labour Party.
