Before I start my furious polemic let me make clear that not everyone in the Labour Party is a raving, foam-flecked anti-semite! There are plenty of sensible members who have been quietly ashamed over the years of their Party's failure to deal with the increasing accusations of anti-Semitism that have grown and grown under the Corbyn regime. Mind you, their pathetic, political cowardice in doing nothing makes them equally guilty!
It is a catastrophe for what was once a pillar of the British political construct. The fact that the Labour party never ceases to bleat and prate and moan about the evils of racism whilst sheltering a gang of rabid anti-Semites raises a disgusting odour. Also, of course, just at a time when a lively and vigorous opposition is required to deal with a bumbling Tory government, Labour is shown up for 'humbuggery' of the most disgusting kind. I have some small hopes for their new leader, Keir Starmer and wish him well as tries to clear the anti-Semitic offal from his Augean stables!
Starmer was one of, if not the worst, Director of Public Prosecutions ever. If he does anything, he will bring Labour back into the sleazy world of Blairism - different from Comrade Corbyn's Stalinism, but just as dodgy

Well, at least your Labour party can spell labour. Ours can't.

What Andra said.
Anti-semitism in Europe is on the increase as is Jewish emigration from the EU.
That will only increase with expanding Islamic populations.
Your choice Europe.

Anti-semitism is also on the rise in the US with the radicalism of the angry Left.

I give you the new SI Unit for Incredibility - the Chakrabarti.
On this scale Elvis being alive on the Moon comes in at 85 Chaks.
The existence of the Loch Ness Monster 80 Chaks.
Santa is alive and active at the North Pole, 67 Chak.
But the upper limit on the scale, at a full 100 Chaks, is that the Labour Party, Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, has no, zero, zilch, diddly, tiniest scintilla of an iota of a modicum of Antisemitism.
Give me that Lordship.

Sure Whitewall, and the ADL is run by leftists too:
"In August 2017, the country saw a disturbing manifestation of antisemitism at the alt right “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, where hundreds of marchers threw Nazi salutes, waved swastika flags and shouted “Seig Heil” And “Jews will not replace us!” ADL researchers identified more than 300 of the estimated 500-600 individuals who showed up to support the antisemitic and racist rally."
