@Richard East Both Labour and Covid are synonymous with economic ruin. The lockdown is driven by political correctness, as brought about by the looney left.
@@backupplan6058 I never said they were. I said that Labour governance leads to economic ruin and that the pandemic also leads to economic ruin. How long-winded do you need it to be before you understand?
What Jeremy Corbyn said: "One anti-Semite in the party is one anti-Semite too many." ...3 weeks later Gordon Brown: "Jeremy has got to say that even one case of anti-Semitism is unacceptable." This is just absurd.
@@backupplan6058 Corbyn put a copy of his statement on his official Facebook page on 29th October. The quote is from paragraph 4: My statement following the publication of the EHRC report: “Antisemitism is absolutely abhorrent, wrong and responsible for some of humanity’s greatest crimes. As Leader of the Labour Party I was always determined to eliminate all forms of racism and root out the cancer of antisemitism. I have campaigned in support of Jewish people and communities my entire life and I will continue to do so. “The EHRC’s report shows that when I became Labour leader in 2015, the Party’s processes for handling complaints were not fit for purpose. Reform was then stalled by an obstructive party bureaucracy. But from 2018, Jennie Formby and a new NEC that supported my leadership made substantial improvements, making it much easier and swifter to remove antisemites. My team acted to speed up, not hinder the process. “Anyone claiming there is no antisemitism in the Labour Party is wrong. Of course there is, as there is throughout society, and sometimes it is voiced by people who think of themselves as on the left. “Jewish members of our party and the wider community were right to expect us to deal with it, and I regret that it took longer to deliver that change than it should. “One antisemite is one too many, but the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media. That combination hurt Jewish people and must never be repeated. “My sincere hope is that relations with Jewish communities can be rebuilt and those fears overcome. While I do not accept all of its findings, I trust its recommendations will be swiftly implemented to help move on from this period.”
@Jo Sm Someone commented saying that he hadn’t said the quote in the original post and to prove it. My response was to that. Whether that is a strong enough statement is a different question. But I think the person who doubted him saying it at all, deleted their comment after proof was provided.
What with the recent redefining of anti-Semitism, it's hard to mention Israel or Judaism in a sentence without risk. It's a great way to control criticism in literature and media. Orwellian, much?
But that's what Jeremy Corbyn said... almost verbatim. "Even one case of antisemitism in the Labour Party is one too many". He just also said there were people exploiting it for political reasons, which is true. No more antisemitism in Labour than in the Conservative party, but that's not the impression you'd get if you read the endless articles attacking the Labour left over it specifically. When you come out in an interview talking like he didn't say one instance is too many, you, Gordon Brown, who did less to combat antisemitism when you were leader, are playing into the deliberately orchestrated dismantling of your party's public image while enabling the Conservatives to get away with more blatant acts of bigotry on a regular basis.
Very well put could not agree more, sadly I feel Starmer is falling into the trap of moving labour back to Blairism, this will only divide the party from it's MP's which plays right into the hands of the Tory's
@@jameskeller4239 "I'm accepting the recommendations of the EHRC report which has come out today, we do need to ensure that our processes are better worked...one anti-Semite in the party is one anti-Semite too many...the numbers have been exaggerated...the public perception...was that one-third of all Labour party members were...under suspicion of anti-Semitism...0.3% of members had a case against them." What part of that was a rejection of the report?
@@captainawsomeface Labour got a larger vote share in 2019 then it did in 2010 or 2015. 2017 was its best performance in terms of vote share since 2001, and its highest number total votes since 1997. Labour's inability to get elected is down in part to FPTP, and the fact the while anyone right-of-centre is going to vote for the Tories, the Left wing vote is divided between Labour, Lib Dems, Green Party, as well as the regional nationalist parties (SNP, PC). Labour swinging back to the centre is certainly not going to help it win the next election. No one bothered to vote while Brown and Milliband were in power.
@nobody important i think 500million is a really big understatement it’s in the £10billion, but then just 10yrs before the tories lost £20billion to prop up the pound to keep it in the German ERM which failed, or now on the Sam iliac hands long of the coronavirus
@Kamaal Jones I don’t know if you saw the interview brown gave a few months ago but it seems as if the us pentagon lied to the government about the nature of the threat in Iraq to get us to join them in there unjustified war. So acting on the information they were provided which was false is more apt in what happened.
@@user-op8fg3ny3j Plenty of criticism of Israel, in fact at the UN there's more criticism than China Russia and North korea put together, it's almost like there is Jew haters out there.
@Lancastrian oh dear a Bolshevik takeover? What does Bolshevik even mean? No googling because I’ll be able to tell if you did. Isn’trael and the small hats hate socialism and the Bolsheviks! Big deal some small hats were Bolsheviks and some tried to hand over Russia via Trotsky to Wall Street and failed and then Stalin deadly with them. And? Jews also voted for Hitler. And liberalism. And conservatism and fascism etc etc etc
I saw in the title 'Gordon Brown' and 'apology'. At last, he will say sorry to the British people for selling our gold, and guaranteeing a low price by telegraphing the sale to the market. But no, Gordon wants someone else to apologise. Thanks Gordon.
@@kelly6739 YEP, that one!!!! Just ask Greece, Ireland, Ukraine, Argentina, Hungary, Jamaica, Ghana, Russia, Bulgaria, Mexico how they got on!! Oh wait a minute they must have been Gordon Brown's fault as well!!! :-):-) Are you really that simple Mrs Brainwashed? .........FPMSL
James Glen :- do your homework son. The British House of Parliament voted not once but TWICE on that matter and it was backed by both sides of the house. Whether it was right or not isn't the point. OUR Parliament voted to invade and therefore it was LEGAL in the UK. Stop peddling YOUR LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jameskeller4239 Not just an opinion. An incompetent leadership launched itself head first into an invasion of Iraq based on a lie. To believe that the United States and her Allies did not know that it was BS is to insult the intelligences of some of the most powerful countries on the planet.
When ethnicity is intertwined with religion all sorts of bollox is let loose. When ethnicity infects an ideological position on society all sorts of bollox is let loose. It is sad that after 300 years of debate there is so much bollox still on the loose.
Absolutely! Corbyn should apologise for the TWO Labour Party members found to have made AS statements by the EHRC (out of approximately 500,000 individuals) and also for personally intervening in the cases of AS accusations that Ian McNicoll delayed for months if not years in order to embarass the Labour leadership. The world is truly turned upside down and the Bliarite-friendly media just go on and on peddling the same inverted reality over and over again.
I am not a fan of Jersey Corbyn however being lectured by the worst chancellor in modern history. I would have thought the gold thief would have been better to have kept his big mouth shut 🤐
But the EHRC report didn't say he got it wrong. It was the previous processing team including Ian McNicol. Haha. This is basically like there being a car crash where the person who caused it demands the other person apologise, therefore protecting themselves if it went to court. Jeremy will not fall for this pathetic ploy.
It's absolutely irrelevant as to whether Corbyn gets to be a Labour MP. They're asking for something to fix their messes from before and after he was leader. They know he has broken no rules and they're terrified of this going to court.
Spot what is not true in the following statement! "Gordon has done as he said he would when he first left office, and dedicated his life to charily works".
Everyone keeps going on about A.S. what exactly is it It's like the brexit deal, no one could tell you any single detail about the deal, But it's never ending news about the deal.
@LordMightyTrousers Not seen, but heard a BBC Radio 5 live interview recently where a Luciana Berger, was talking for a considerable length of time about how she saw and heard anti semitic behaviour which was NOT condemned by Corbyn. After pleading with Corbyn for years she eventually felt that she couldn't go on working for a party where the leader wasn't strong enough to stand up to anti-semitism and yet he was very strong in his support for the IRA and Palestine. 9 Labour MP's quit and one of their main grievances was anti semitism within the party. Are you saying they are all lying? That's very, very, very unlikely isn't it? As with any view or evidence you have to listen carefully and make up your own mind. This lady seems 100% genuine and she convinced me ( a Labour supporter) that she was telling the truth!! www.heraldscotland.com/news/18831915.jewish-mp-quit-labour-anti-semitism-tells-relentless-rape-acid-attack-threats/
“You may not know this, but back in 2008 the Home office sent a circular to all police forces in the country saying ‘as far as these young girls who are being exploited in towns and cities, we believe they have made an informed choice about their sexual behaviour and therefore it is not for you police officers to get involved in.’”Most people would like an apology and explanation of this Gordon.
How about focusing on the fact that the antisemitism report found a fair few members of the party to be so. How about a purge of as many antisemitic members as possible rather than assigning a fall guy and then letting him back into the party not even a few months later.
And when is Gordon Brown going to make a full apology for handing the EU most of our gold reserves along with the silver platter he delivered it on, or apologize to the British public for denying us a promised vote on the last EU treaty by simply tippexing the word "Treaty" out and then claiming it wasn't one any longer so we didn't have any right to vote on it!
No. You don't just get to apologise for that. Just let him fall into obscurity. A footnote in history, that one time a Communist took over the Labour party and praised terror organisations.
Don't you mean "That one time a real Socialist became leader of the supposedly left-wing Labour Party and he believed it was worth a go trying to talk to the bad guys instead of the usual tactic of refusing to talk to them and just shooting and/or bombing them that's worked out so well up to now"?
@@blatherskite3009 that "worth a go" attitude Socialists have had has killed an awful lot of people. It's been "tried" enough times to know it doesn't work.
Apologise? Like what? "I'm really sorry that I told the truth." The EHRC report identified 220 cases of confirmed antisemitism that the Labour Party dealt with as efficiently as possible, considering there were *no* measures against antisemitism in place before Corbyn started to deal with the problem. And how big a problem was it? The Labour Party had over 500,000 members at the time; which means there was an incidence of antisemitism of 0.04%. I'd say that's deserving of an accolade and not a sanction! I wonder how well the Conservatives would fare under such scrutiny... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_UK_Conservative_Party
What about new Labour leader he is not fair dealing with Muslims also Tory party and Franch and Israeli and Indian governments Why are you not speaking against them.
I’ve scrolled down a fair way and apologies if there are some comments that I’ve missed but nobody has seemed to criticise comrade Brown for what he said about the victims of the grooming gangs and that was disgraceful
Politicians NEVER apologize. They know fully damn well what they are doing and don't care what the public think. There is NO difference between left and right as they both serve the same masters (and it ain't the general public).
He's right you know. One case of aunty semenism is completely unacceptable. Where's the gold gone Gordon? What's that?.. A New World Order you said? 🤷♀️
