No, I’m saying Labour need to have a united front and address its issues in a way the public will understand.
The programme was made by ex-Sun Journalist who obviously has an agenda that the BBC allowed him freedom to pursue.
How has four odd years of denying and deflecting the AS problems worked out for Labour?
he hated me because I was a turncoat.
The Labour Party has certainly not denied the AS problem.
Deflection is more subjective, but not, I’d argue, accurate.
Yes, it exists. Yes, it shouldn’t exist, especially in the Labour Party.
But denying, no. Deflecting, arguably no.
Yes, there is undoubtedly an AS problem, but there is also a lot of politicking (is there such a word?) and keeping them separate isn’t easy.
They should appoint an independent body headed up by someone well known and well respected for being impartial, competent and at the forefront of Human Rights. Perhaps someone from Amnesty International for example. They could produce a Report that would put an end to all these scurrilous accusations once and for all. Shami Chakrabarti would be an ideal candidate IMHO.
If you're turning away from the Labour party because they it has become a cesspit of anti-semitism, where Jews are made to feel unwelcome and unsafe simply because they are Jews, you're a man of principle not a turncoat.
Denied many aspects of it, dubious use of NDAs re: victims, etc.
Criticising Mark Wade, and especially before the programme aired, was an example of deflection.
Denying and deflecting aspects of it.
If Labour had've put all of the effort exerted on this in to eradicating AS it would've been taken care of long ago.
It's a simple choice of of tolerating bigotry, or not.
And I'm saying even if Labour did what you say it will make no difference as far as the BBC goes. Whatever Labour does that could be seen as "a good thing" will be ignored by the BBC while instead they make a headline of Corbyn seen scratching his arse in public rather than report on the latest Tory cut to < insert any public service here >.No, I’m saying Labour need to have a united front and address its issues in a way the public will understand.
As I said earlier, Corbyn is seen as pro-Palestinian and there are parts of the establishment that want to bring him down for that.
No, I’m saying Labour need to have a united front and address its issues in a way the public will understand.
So should they just give up then and accept that the general public see the party as AS?And I'm saying even if Labour did what you say it will make no difference as far as the BBC goes.

Or replace Corbyn?OK, but the democratic process that enables members to elect leader and deputy leader has produced Tom Watson, a man who has attacked Corbyn at every opportunity in pursuit of his own political ambitions and has been instrumental in exploiting division to his own ends.
One valid way to present a united front to address issues would be to replace Watson with someone who has party unity as a priority.
But the Corbyn would be called a Stalinist. Again.
Or replace Corbyn?
Poetic but illegal.Just replace him? Murder him with a ice pick to the head at least, surely?
As has been posted already, it's not that easy to deal with bigotry but now is your chance to explain what you would have Labour do and why it is simple?Denied many aspects of it, dubious use of NDAs re: victims, etc.

I'm not convinced the "general public" sees the party as anti-semitic despite the best efforts of tories to make it stick. Outside of the tory media and pfm, I haven't come across anybody who has mentioned the Labour party and anti-semitism as a subject.So should they just give up then and accept that the general public see the party as AS?
As a start they should at least be united, when a party has a leader and deputy at odds with each other that's not going to help and also not something that the BBC can alter.
