As I have replied above anti-Semitism not handled well at all. Not as widespread as certain newspapers suggest, but any anti-Semitic or other racist comment have no place anywhere. Is the second part of your comment about Boris and Dominic, or a music duo I have not heard of?

I've never heard of her,she has some good points and some bad points but then again so has everybody else but as she's in Nottingham South she's not my local MP,I live in Gedling Borough and I've no idea who represents me and I'm not particularly bothered either,Ken Clarke used to come down The Lane to watch Notts but he just got told (via singing) to go back to Forest I've always been told that it's a privilege to be able to vote but I've got no interest in politics at all,absolutely none and I never will so I won't bother now,if I've gone 40 years without putting an X on a ballot sheet without it bothering me then I'm not going to start now,don't get me wrong I know that politics are an important evil in our lives so i just let the people who like to argue about it get on with it I've voted for the Independent party in the pie vote just because nobody else has,if voting became compulsory that's what I would do,vote for the party that nobody's bothered about,are the Raving Looney Party still going,I saw one candidate say that if he got in he would make phone calls cheaper for stutterers,that made me smile but it was pre snowflake days obviously

Fooking hell DAlien. The Conservative Party has just as big an issue with Islamophobia but nobody has stooped that low to suggest the Conservatives are Islamophobic.

My point was entirely in relation to the "Corbyn for the people" trope

I take this very personally.
The Labour Party has, in my considered opinion, a leader and close colleagues who are indifferent to antisemitism.
Whatever you think of their policies on the economy, I cannot stomach a party whom I feel are guilty of such terrible prejudice.
Don't tell me it doesn't matter, or they aren't antisemitic, because it does, and they are.
Is it only anti-Semitism that bothers you? If so I suggest that is racist. At least the leader of the party doesn't make racist comments, unlike Boris in a national newspaper. Probably, from figures published recently, leading to a marked increase in verbal and physical attacks on his targets.

Those of us who've been around the block a few times are well used to the ritual trashing of Labour Party leaders by the so called " Popular Press ". I go back as far as Harold Wilson and he got it in the neck all the time from the usual suspects. Express, Mail, Telegraph etc. Ditto James Callaghan, Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock , Milliband etc. The only one who got looked after was Tony Blair and he had to kiss Murdoch's arse to get a fair crack of the whip. So we're used to Labour Party leaders being traduced, lied about, and generally ridiculed and misrepresented by the media at large. Having said that, in my experience the treatment of Jeremy Corbyn has been by far the worst in my 50 years.

With the best will in the world reggie, suggesting someone is racist because they abhor anti-semitism is an argument without any merit whatsoever
Forget whatever problems the Tories have - and they are many. If the leader of the party you support is broadly sympathetic to the discriminatory mindset that personified the Nazis, the party has an insurmountable problem

Given Boris’s references to pickaninnies and letter boxes, what would have been your response if I would have responded to a Conservative friendly post with “Muslims and black people”? To stop this silliness I forward that neither Corbyn or Johnson are Nazis.

My response would be, the guy is a dick
It's your assumption that i'd be supportive of such attitudes that grates
Edit to your edit: yes, Corbyn isn't a Nazi as such, but that's hardly a recommendation is it? When you have Jewish members of the Labour Party resigning due to entrenched anti-semitism, they have to be believed. We can all have differences of political opinion, but it's silly to jump on someone's post with an incorrect assumption. I would hope you'd accept that

So Johnson is just a dick, not as bad as Corbyn though is it?
