Bingo!


There's a UK-politics-related headline about antisemitism on the BBC News website's home page this afternoon.  

Given the study yesterday which found that 30 Labour election candidates are presently mired in allegations related to antisemitism, which party do you suspect it relates to? 

Yes, the Conservative Party of course. 


"Boris Johnson "must answer" for anti-Semitism, Labour says" is the caption under the photo of Boris Johnson at the top of the BBC article. (The word 'chutzpah' springs to mind).

Here's to be hoped that 'the Tories' permanently chuck them out with a very swift kick up their posteriors, if they're guilty as charged. Every party should have absolute zero tolerance towards antisemitism. In all its forms.

As for Labour - much quoted in the article, condemning the Conservatives - well, in the 19th paragraph of this 20-paragraph report, the BBC adds - like an afterthought - a 'meanwhile':
Meanwhile, Labour has been beset by allegations of anti-Semitism for more than three years, leading to the suspension of a number of high-profile figures such as Ken Livingstone and Chris Williamson, and an unprecedented investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. 
Mr Corbyn has apologised for incidents of anti-Semitism in Labour on several occasions and said anti-Jewish racism was "vile and wrong".
Hmm. Mr Corbyn's apologies are widely seen as disgusting non-apologies.

I'd love to know the political views of the BBC journalist who wrote this piece - though I think I can safely guess. 

After citing (at length) Labour's Andrew Gwynne, who mentions George Soros, that same BBC reporter then thinks it's right and proper to add this:
Jewish multi-billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who has given away £32bn, has been the topic of numerous fake news stories and conspiracy theories, many of which are anti-Semitic.
I hope the Corbynista hordes here - and Jeremy's Hamas/Hezbollah admirers abroad - appreciate this and write the BBC a warm thank-you note. It's the least they can do.
