IT TAKES ALL SORTS OF NUTTERS! EXTREME RIGHT & LEFT COME TOGETHER!

STOP PRESS

Meeting cancelled even though it was not common sense that prevailed. OFF

Dear Dame,

I have always found it a useful maxim to judge people by the company they keep & Kensington Labour Party is increasingly keeping very rum company indeed. 

                        Israel like Nazi Germany thinks Dimwit

Tonight the Constituency Executive is providing a Zoom Platform for Kerry-Anne Mendoza, a highly controversial speaker with few connections with the cuddly social-democratic Labour Party we all used to love (or at least respect).

 

A quick Google enquiry on her name comes up with this from August 20^th

 

“Kerry-Anne Mendoza, the editor of The Canary, a controversial hard-left blog, has appeared to double down on her antisemitic comparison of Israel to Germany during Nazi rule.

Ms Mendoza’s latest incident began when she equated Brexit with Nazism, referencing the infamous slogan astride the gates to the Auschwitz death camp in a tweet: “Get Brexit done; Build, build, build; Jobs, jobs, jobs; Arbeit macht frei.”

In response to a backlash on social media, she explicitly referenced Israel and Jews, appearing to double down on her racist analogy, tweeting: “Being called an antisemite by people who think “Never again” doesn’t apply to Palestinians, Muslims, trans people, GRT communities, or Ethiopian/Mizrahi/anti-Zionist Jews…”

This is not the first time that, Ms Mendoza, whose website is under investigation by the Government’s Independent Advisor on Antisemitism, has compared Israel to the Nazis, in a breach of the International Definition of Antisemitism.

Ms Mendoza also recently attacked Campaign Against Antisemitism using violent language, saying “The antisemitism witch hunt is seriously about to face off with #BlackLivesMatter I’m telling you now, those anti-Black, anti-Palestinian racists are gonna get their asses dragged all over town. And they have no clue. Because…entitlement.”

Campaign Against Antisemitism’s Antisemitism Barometer 2019 showed that antisemitism on the far-left of British politics has surpassed that of the far-right.

 

Until now, whilst frequently ‘walking on the wild side', the Constituency Party has avoided any involvement with the Anti Semitism row that has engulfed other parts of the party but this latest invitation is perhaps going too far & is certainly a further step away from the Starmer leadership of the National Party .   In recent years the Constituency party has been quick to trumpet its huge increase in membership since the Corbyn revolution – rising to more than 800.   

However, the constituency leadership & its media communications now seem to be totally dominated by the extreme left and Labour ‘mainstream members’ report that anyone to the right of Rosa Luxemburg is treated with hostility and made to feel unwelcome. 

More Moderate recent applicants to join also report a reluctance to accept or communicate with them. 

So the turnover of membership is large and increasingly unrepresentative of the Labour vote in The Royal Borough.    

One wonders if The National Labour Party will be prepared to tolerate the eccentricities of the Local Association & its Councillor  Members in the long term or does It have more important priorities elsewhere in the Forest of British Politics?   

Given that Kensington had a Labour Member of Parliament less than a year ago perhaps national intervention and a local ‘reset’ is called for?

Regards, dear Dame,

 

One of the mystified mainstream
