That there are "only" 15 (out of how many?) it could show there is no institutionalised racism within the party. Impossible, do you think? Have you already formed the opinion there is institutionalised racism in the Labour party?I was shocked by the revelation tonight that after 3 years there have only been 15 expulsions relating to anti-semitism. That statistic alone does seem to suggest there may well be a problem with institutionalised racism within the party. It will be instructive to see what the The Equality and Human Rights Commission investigation concludes.
Absolutely.Or it shows that the problem is blown out of all proportion. Or amounts of either are true.
It's not a surprise though.I marvel at the amount of media attention directed toward it compared with the political crisis Britain is in and religious bigotry and racism in other organisations.
Fact is, because Labour is the only credible alternative to the Tory party when it comes to GE time, for the last decade the media has been shining a light on anything they can drag up about Labour in order to divert attention away from criticism of the tory party and the mess it has created. They have created massive problems, hence the amount of anti-Labour "attention" required to counter it.
