Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Don't know why Freda seems to think this sort of thing just comes from the Cons all the time .

Sadiq Khan accuses Jeremy Corbyn of failing to 'call out' anti-Semitism

The new Mayor of London has accused Jeremy Corbyn of failing to call out anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.

Sadiq Khan's comments come after a row about anti-Semitism dominated headlines in the run-up to last week's local elections, as a string of councillors, members and even MP Naz Shah were suspended over controversial social media posts.

In an interview with the New York Times, Mr Khan said Mr Corbyn was failing to speak up about the issue, ramping up the discord between the pair.
“I’ve been the victim of hate crime because of my ethnicity and my faith,” he said.

“If somebody is saying views that are appalling, disgusting and clearly anti-Semitic, I’ve got to call it out.

“The fact that that person happens to be from my party, the fact that the leader of my party is failing to call it out, that’s irrelevant. I have to call it out.”


Mr Corbyn has faced deep criticism that he has a blind spot regarding comments about the Jewish faith, which has led to antisemitism not being taken seriously enough in the Labour Party.

Mr Khan, who nominated Mr Corbyn for leader, has increasingly sought to distance himself from the leadership of the party since becoming Labour’s candidate for mayor.

He chose to attend a Holocaust memorial event in north London over the weekend, as his first public engagement as mayor, in a move which was greeted with praise by Jewish leaders and Labour MPs.
Last month Jeremy Corbyn was forced to announce an inquiry into racism within the Labour party after a number of antisemitic comments made by members emerged.

Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis who has warned that Labour has a "severe" problem with anti-Semitism that will get worse if the party's inquiry into the issue is used as "sticking plaster" to placate voters.

Earlier this week Mr Corbyn publicly rejected a call from new Mayor of London Sadiq Khan to broaden Labour's appeal to voters, heightening tensions between the two men.

Speaking at an event in London the Labour leader said the party already has an "enormous" political tent, dismissing Mr Khan's call for inclusive "big tent" politics in order to win the 2020 election.

The new Mayor warned Labour MPs the party must appeal to voters from other political groups if it is to turn over the Conservative majority in four years.

But Mr Corbyn appeared to reject those claims.
