The last straw was Starmer threatening expulsion to anybody defending Corbyn. So much for free speech... Im sure Naz Shah would agree with free speech, just ask Sarah Champion Wow, Labour loses 5000 members, so what. They were, as you and the rest of the JC fan club loved to point out, the biggest membership in Europe at the time of the election Didnt help though did it...................still got demolished where it counts, at the polling booth.

Anna B 1,365 #331 Posted November 18, 2020 It is so institutionally racist that Jewish members of the party have started a campaign to get Corbyn reinstated.

I don’t think I’ve ever said that this was widespread, it is certainly institutional. 149 members removed from the party in 2019. Take a look at the number of cases and the number of expulsions after Corbyn was dumped. Why are the numbers so different? Why are the processes more robust now? If you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem. 47 minutes ago, Anna B said: It is so institutionally racist that Jewish members of the party have started a campaign to get Corbyn reinstated.

Do other patrons suggest the racists were sent by a rival brewery to stir up problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
