You make some very good and valid points here regarding the cancer of the Blairites. However, you miss, arguably, one of the most important issues and that is how many of these peers and MPs such as Watson et al belong to Labour Friends of Israel. LFI is perhaps the most powerful and influential lobby group within Labour. The issue here is not precisely one of Antisemitism, it is an issue of LFI smearing, attacking and screaming anti-semite at anyone who dares to challenge the Zionist, apartheid policies of the Israeli state or stand up for the Palestinians. It is an attack of free speech, orchestrated by the Blairites and the LFI against Corbyn because he isn't a member of the neo-liberal Israeli club.

People on the centre left need to stop with the "Labour does have an antisemitism problem but..." line of fig-leaf. England has a problem with antisemitism and it's effects are felt in all political parties. Labour is one of the better parties if you want anti-racism. Islamophobia in the Tory party is overwhelmingly obvious, but what about antisemtitism in the Tory party? There are bound to be loads of awful things said by members, organisers and peers. Very religious Christians often vote Conservative and is the traditional source of antisemitism.

Regarding "conflicts of intererest", you look at the number of MPs (mostly Tories but to a lesser extent also in other parties) who are private landlords and they're getting to vote in parliament on housing issues. You look at people like Jacob Rees-Mogg with his vast personal wealth, and Brexit is certainly going to benefit him, but not the rest of us. Or you look at Boris Johnson or Priti Patel getting paid tens of thousands a year for doing not very much; what exactly is being paid for? When we see this kind of thing in other parts of the world we call it what it is: CORRUPTION.

Really good work Aaron. Where the hell is the rest of the press on this issue? The group think in the British press is so strong, Owen Jones and George Monbiot have both noted the group think in the Guardian offices. At this point in history, if you are having a hard time ‘picking sides’ or if you describe yourself as ‘politically homeless’ you need to grow a spine. Fascism is on the march and Britain has in front of it 2 distinct paths. Not making a decision is a decision. Being apolitical is political. You can’t stay neutral on a moving train.

I agree with most of this, if not all, except the accusation that Baroness Hayter's comments were racist, (not that I agree with what she said), but the Hitler bunker analogy, as extreme as it was, was effectively saying that Corbyn's inner circle were insulating him from the truth, polls etc, much as in the last days of Hitler, where his generals chose not to share negative news with him - full quote: "Those of you who haven’t [read the book] will have seen the film ‘Bunker’, about the last days of Hitler, where you stop receiving any information into the inner group which suggests that things are not going the way you want." And she added: "That seems to be where we are at the moment: having the leadership in a bunker so they are not hearing in those views, that evidence, that is in conflict with what they are trying to do, to the extent that even undermines what they are trying to do. "Because if you are trying to win an election and you don’t honestly look at the polls, then you are not going to be in a position to take the action to win."

Excellent analysis Aaron. But I think Downfall is a much better film than Bunker but that is by the way.

A very well presented argument, covering a range of issues. One can see that the speaker believes that the country would benefit from a Corbyn-led government. The question to consider is: how likely is this to happen? The first obstacle is the print media in Britain, which is hugely biased against Labour in general and Corbyn in particular. The second problem is that, like the Conservatives, Labour is itself divided on the key issue facing Britain; Brexit. My own view, for what it's worth, is that Jeremy Corbyn is a first-rate political campaigner, but not someone who is good at performing the role that Clement Attlee performed so well in the 1945 Labour Government, that of chairman of the board. Were he a good arse kicker, many of the problems that the Party still faces would have already been addressed.

I don't understand. If you have an evident problem with antisemitism you sort it out, you don't fanny about. Otherwise people like me will reconsider voting for the party. And the real opposition will make hay with it - I notice May has started a commission on antisemitism, which is nakedly political, but sadly I could see that coming a mile off. Pointing the finger at other people who call you out is not an appropriate response. Neither is trying to deselect critics. It's just stupid. This is not a Monty Python film, it's real life, and it's important.

I think when it comes to immigration policies, governments should take a harder more discriminatory stance. We dont owe anyone a damn thing, so the creed of coming here (same if we go abroad) is you're here to work and pay into the system (majority do). There should be ZERO fraud allowed from immigrants but when you label harsh policies as racist, immigration becomes a poison chalice that nobody wants to touch and you end with a bunch of deadwood like we have. Pissing in the wind about teaching kids about LGBT, or claiming benefits whilst they bowl up in school in brand new range rovers cos their husbands are working or own a business but you claim to be separated (Looking at you Turks). I believe in calling it how it is. There are many that come here and are an absolute necessity to the economy and infrastructure but there's a lot of deadwood that neeeds sorting out, without people waving the race card around FFS Just to add, I don't begrudge families with disabled kids that come over here because we have a better system than they would. In that instance, we shouldn't adding more hardship to their life.

To compare this criticism to taking out an advert in a newspaper criticising their editor as shit is delusional.

It's also supremely ironic to criticise these people for the company they keep, when that's the whole problem with Corbyn!
