NOT THE FORDE INQUIRY! Why Starmer Sought to Hide and Cover Up Racist and Sexist Abuse & Corruption Amongst Labour's Senior Staff

 Despite Packing the Forde Inquiry With his  Sycophants Starmer Decided to Suppress it

Register here for The Not The Forde Inquiry

The Forde Inquiry was set up at in April 2020 as a result of Labour’s Leaked Report which demonstrated conclusively that senior Labour staff had consciously set out to sabotage the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.  The Report was aiming to issue its report early in 2021. 

The Leaked Report, which was clearly commissioned by former General Secretary Jennie Formby (perhaps her only real service to the left during her tenure) demonstrated that senior Labour officials, led by General Secretary Iain McNicol and his unattractive enforcer John Stolliday, ran an unofficial  general election campaign in support of right-wing MPs at a secret HQ during the 2017 General Election campaign.

The Report, in perhaps its only humorous moment, illustrated the grief and tears of these sordid and wretched hacks as Corbyn increased his majority. They were openly disappointed, some in tears, when Corbyn unexpectedly gained not lost seats. McNicol warned his fellow bigots that they were in for an uncomfortable few months.

Unfortunately it took Corbyn another 8 months to force McNicol's resignation despite the fact that, in anticipation of a coup, McNicol had cancelled the passes of Corbyn's office on the night of the General Election. It was a sad commentary on Corbyn's tenure as leader that he refused to confront the Right even as he was betraying his own comrades like Chris Williamson.

Keir Starmer - Labour's Leader In Need of a Personality Transplant

The Leaked Report  included outrageous examples of racist abuse, homophobia, anti-Semitism (ironically) sexism and electoral sabotage by party officials.  In short utter corruption.

Starmer however made his displeasure clear. Not at the behaviour of McNicol, Stolliday, Emily Oldknow and all the other crooks and bigots who Labour employed at great cost.  His anger was directed at those who had compiled and leaked the Report.

The Forde Inquiry was filled with Starmer loyalists and right-wing toe rags.  Yet despite this Starmer has desperately attempted to kick the Inquiry into the long grass. The latest pretext for delay is that it might conflict with the Information Commissioner’s inquiries.

Over a year later the Forde Inquiry still hasn’t reported. Many people believe Forde’s findings are being suppressed because the party’s leadership wants to bury the truth. But we’re not going to let that happen.

That’s why we’re holding the “Not The Forde Inquiry”, to give people the chance to say in public what they would have told the inquiry if they’d had the chance.

Starmer is Labour’s most dishonest leader ever. A born liar who campaigned as a unity candidate and the moment he was elected began undoing Corbyn’s legacy. First Rebecca Long Bailey was sacked as Shadow Education Secretary for retweeting Maxine Peake’s references to Israeli Police training their US counterparts in how to choke, strangle and otherwise incapacitate Black people.  This was, apparently, an ‘anti-Semitic conspiracy theory’.

Whilst standing for leader Starmer hid the fact that his campaign was financed by a plethora of right-wing businessmen and hedge fund managers such as Martin Taylor, (£95,000) Clive Hollick (£50,000) and Trevor Chinn (£50,000), a major funder of Labour Friends of Israel and an Executive Member of BICOM, the main pro-Israel propaganda organisation in Britain.  Zionist supporters constituted a large chunk of Starmer's campaign funding but Starmer refused to divulge the source of his donations until the election campaign was over. As Bob Pitt noted:

those party members who voted for Keir on the basis of his assurances that he would continue Labour’s radical political trajectory might ask themselves whether they were well and truly suckered.

Because the Forde Inquiry looks as if it will never report, Labour in Exile Network has organised an alternative Forde Inquiry, namely Not the Forde Inquiry which will take submissions from people who have been at the centre of the witchhunt.

Rebecca Massey (under the flag) and Anne Mitchell (second from right) who was also expelled from Hove Labour Party

They include:

Jackie Walker – the Black-Jewish former Vice Chair of Momentum who was stabbed in the back by Jon Lansman at the behest of the Jewish LabourMovement whose 'sister party', the Israeli Labour Party, has just gone into a coalition government in Israel with the far-Right.

Chris Williamson        the former Labour MP who was attacked as an ‘anti-Semite’ by the JLM. Chris was stabbed in the back by Jennie Formby and betrayed by Jeremy Corbyn who failed to stand up for him.

Graham Bash    the Editor of Labour Briefing, an Executive Committee member of Jewish Voices for Labour who has also been suspended.

Leah Levane     a Jewish councillor for Hastings, Leah is co-Chair of Jewish Voices for Labour. Remarkably she doesn’t appear to have been suspended (yet!).

Tina Werkmann          Secretary of Labour Against the Witchhunt and active in Labour Left Alliance has been expelled.

Rebecca Massey         was expelled on the explicit instructions of the Board of Deputies – this fact was uncovered when a document was obtained through a subject access request.

Contributions also encouraged from attendees at this event

Why Does Hove Jewish Centre, Ralli Hall Allow an Advocate of Rape to Speak but ban an Anti-Racist Critic of Israel

Ralli Hall Cancelled Hove Labour Party meeting because of criticism of Israel yet allowed Mordechai Kedar, an Advocate of Rape to Speak

Argus 17th February from 8 members of Brighton & Hove PSC 

Simon Cobbs of Sussex Friends of Israel organised the 'meet a rape supporter'

In the course of this post I wrote that:

‘Hove AGM was cancelled because the Jewish communal centre, Ralli Hall, where the meeting was supposed to take place, unilaterally terminated the booking.  This is the same Ralli Hall which staged a meeting 18 months ago featuring Professor Mordechai Kedar of Israel’s religious University Bar Ilan.  Kedar is a retired colonel in the Israeli army.  See The Zionist Federation and Sussex Friends of Israel Invite an Advocate of Rape to Speak

As Israel's Ha'aretz Reported Kedar's statement

I wrote that:

‘Kedar is famous for his advocacy of rape against Palestinian women as a weapon of war.  Israel’s Ha'aretz newspaper in an article Israeli Professor's 'Rape as Terror Deterrent' Statement Draws Ire quoted him as saying that:  ‘'The only thing that deters a suicide bomber is the knowledge that if he pulls the trigger or blows himself up, his sister will be raped'. (22.7.14.). 

Brighton and Hove Palestine Solidarity Campaign held a demonstration outside the meeting.  Many Jewish venues, including schools and synagogues, such as Finchley, cancelled their meetings when Kedar’s comments became known.  Even the Board of Deputies of British Jews dissociated themselves from Kedar but not Ralli Hall, which was quite happy for the rally to go ahead. 

Kedar was the guest of the Sussex Jewish Representative Council, the Zionist Federation and our old friends Sussex Friends of Israel

I have therefore written to their Manager, Maxine Gordon as to why they prefer advocates of rape to critics of Israel.  A letter from 8 members of PSC, including myself, appeared in today’s Argus newspaper.  Ralli Hall has a lot of questions to ask.

I have also written a second letter to those in control of  Ralli Hall.  I won’t be holding my breath waiting for a reply.

Dear Ralli Hall,

You appear to have ignored the message that I sent you conerning your double standards when it comes to false allegations of anti-Semitism and allowing, Mordechai Kedar, an advocate of rape in war, to speak at Ralli Hall. 

According to the Argus your Manager Maxine Gordon said that she 'no choice' but to cancel a meeting of Hove Labour Party because of 'contentious statements made by Rebecca Massey on social media about Israel and Judaism.'

Clearly Ms Gordon hasn't heard of free speech.  Calling out Israel's racism is a matter of fact and is only 'contentious' in the eyes of those who prefer to turn a blind eye to Israeli atrocities, i.e. apologists for Israeli war crimes. I won't bother to enumerate such minor matters as the making of an Israeli hero out of the cold-blooded murderer Elor Azaria or the recent demolition of a Bedouin village Umm al-Hiran in the Negev to make way for the Jewish town of Hiran.

In The Times in the 1930's under Editor Geoffrey Dawson The Times forbade any mention of German anti-semitism during the pre-war years when the Nazi Party ruled Germany.  Criticism of the Nazis was also 'contentious' so Ms Gordon is in good company.

Even the Zionist Federation was forced to pull the meetings at schools

You said that because Becky Massey was attending a meeting at Ralli Hall on Sunday, February 3, you didn't feel it would be 'appropriate for the meeting to continue.”

Perhaps you can tell me why it was 'appropriate' for Kedar who said that '“The only thing that can deter terrorists, like those who kidnapped the children and killed them, is the knowledge that their sister or their mother will be raped.”  to speak at Ralli Hall?

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that you find support for rape in war less objectionable than criticism of Israel's war cimes.  I hope you found our letter concerning this to your liking in yesterday's Argus!  I attach a copy.

The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism Smears Veteran Israeli Anti-Zionist Professor Moshe Machover

Why is CAA a Registered Charity – What Public Benefit does this McCarthyite Organisation Confer?

Senator Joe McCarthy
One of the heroes of CAA Chair Gideon Falter

It is clear that the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism is not a charity but a Zionist propaganda organisation masquerading as a charity.  I have set up a petition on change.org calling for the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism to be deregistered – please sign

Some of the 70 entries for Jeremy Corbyn - notice how this politically neutral 'charity' uses the term 'racist Labour'

The so-called CampaignAgainst Anti-Semitism is a Zionistpropaganda organisation out of control.  Ever since its formation during Operation Protective Edge in the summer of 2014, it has sought to tarnish supporters of the Palestinians and anti-Zionists with the smear of ‘anti-Semitism’.  The fact that it is an officially registered charity is an outrage which we should turn our attention to as a matter of some urgency.  The Tories may use it to burnish their credentials but it has nothing to do with either the fight against anti-Semitism nor does it provide any Public Benefit.  Its activities have nothing to do with any Charitable Purposes.

Fresh from its attack on Hove Labour Party and Momentum supporter Rebecca Massey the misnamed Campaign Against Anti-Semitism has gone onto smear veteran Israeli anti-Zionist Emeritus Professor Moshe Machover as ‘anti-Semitic’.  With its attack on Machover, the CAA has reached a new low. 

The CAA's vicious libellous attack on Moshe Machover

It accuses Professor Machover of ‘voicing support for Hamas, a genocidal antisemitic terrorist organisation.’  Even this is a lie.  As a Marxist Machover is unlikely to support a politically backward Islamic organisation.  In their quote, which I assume is accurate, Moshe says:

‘I’m not opposing their [Hamas’] armed struggle — they have a perfect right to resist with arms. I don’t condemn them. Who is responsible for the rise of Hamas in the Gaza strip? Israel.’  

That is my position too.  I support Hamas’s right to conduct an armed struggle.  That is the right of any oppressed people living under occupation.  That has nothing to do with supporting the organisation politically.  If Hamas is indeed a ‘genocidal antisemitic terrorist organisation’ [they try to pack as many pejorative adjectives as possible into one phrase!] then one has to ask why Israel helped create Hamas? 

The CAA's McCarthyite Chair - Gideon Falter

Rather than being a genocidal etc. organisation, Hamas are a politically backward and conservative Islamist organisation.  They condemned the Charlie Hebdo killings and in practice make a distinction between Jews and Zionists.  But when people come to your home and kill your relatives and attack your children in the name of the ‘Jews’ then it’s not surprising that they may not have a progressive attitude to Jews ideologically.

Hamas have a charter which is anti-Semitic but which plays no part in their political struggle today.  It is a part of their history just like Theodor Herzl’s Jewish State, which was certainly anti-Semitic and racist, is part of the Zionist tradition.  The difference is that Zionism is still anti-Semitic and racist.  The 'racism' of Hamas is minute compared to the everyday racism of Israel, where a plurality, 48% of the population according to the most recent Pew Information Survey  Israel's Religiously Divided Society, supports the physical expulsion of the Palestinians from Israel.

Hamas is on record as condemning the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust.  Something that a 'genocidal anti-Semitic' etc. etc.  group is hardly likely to do.  Bassem Naeem, a spokesman for Hamas, in an article in the Guardian entitled Hamas condemns the Holocaust stated that

‘it should be made clear that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian government in Gaza denies the Nazi Holocaust. The Holocaust was not only a crime against humanity but one of the most abhorrent crimes in modern history. We condemn it as we condemn every abuse of humanity and all forms of discrimination on the basis of religion, race, gender or nationality.’

Why did Israel Create Hamas?

The truth that Zionists hate to hear - THEY created Hamas and now use it to demonise the Palestinians

But if Hamas are all the things that the CAA say they are then the obvious question to ask is why Israel was responsible for creating Hamas?  In an article in the Wall Street Journal, an official in Israel’s Military Administration in Gaza, Avner Cohen, told how "Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel's creation."

The article describes how Cohen, a Tunisian-born Jew worked in Gaza for more than two decades. Responsible for religious affairs in the region until 1994, ‘Mr. Cohen watched the Islamist movement take shape, muscle aside secular Palestinian rivals and then morph into what is today Hamas, a militant group that is sworn to Israel's destruction.’

Washington Post article - wikileaks have produced extensive evidence that Israel wanted Hamas to succeed 

‘Instead of trying to curb Gaza's Islamists from the outset, says Mr. Cohen, Israel for years tolerated and, in some cases, encouraged them as a counterweight to the secular nationalists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its dominant faction, Yasser Arafat's Fatah. Israel cooperated with a crippled, half-blind cleric named Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, even as he was laying the foundations for what would become Hamas.’ Another official David Hacham, who worked in Gaza in the late 1980s and early '90s as an Arab-affairs expert in the Israeli military told how "When I look back at the chain of events I think we made a mistake, but at the time nobody thought about the possible results."  [How Israel Helped to Spawn Hamas, ANDREW HIGGINS, Jan. 24, 2009]

In an article How Israel helped create Hamas in the Washington Post we are told of Hamas's ‘curious history’. ‘To a certain degree, the Islamist organization... has the Jewish state to thank for its existence. Hamas launched in 1988 in Gaza at the time of the first intifada, ... for more than a decade prior, Israeli authorities actively enabled its rise.’

‘At the time, Israel's main enemy was the late Yasser Arafat's Fatah party, which formed the heart of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Fatah was secular and cast in the mold of other revolutionary, leftist guerrilla movements waging insurgencies elsewhere in the world during the Cold War. …’

 ‘Meanwhile, the activities of Islamists affiliated with Egypt's banned Muslim Brotherhood were allowed in the open in Gaza — a radical departure from when the Strip was administered by the secular-nationalist Egyptian government of Gamal Abdel Nasser. Egypt lost control of Gaza to Israel after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, which saw Israel also seize the West Bank. In 1966, Nasser had executed Sayyid Qutb, one of the Brotherhood's leading intellectuals. The Israelis saw Qutb's adherents in the Palestinian territories, including the wheelchair-bound Sheik Ahmed Yassin, as a useful counterweight to Arafat's PLO.’

Which of course was the story of the Americans and how they helped create the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS.  Hamas is the democratically elected organisation of the Palestinians in Gaza.  But none of this complexity is of any interest to a McCarthyite organisation like the CAA.  Their only interest is in shutting down free speech on Palestine and Israel.  The activities of the CAA have nothing to do with anti-Semitism.  Monitoring and smearing anti-Zionists as anti-Semitic is their only goal. 

The CAA has 8 entries for Theresa May -  Britain's racist anti-refugee Prime Minister - all of them complementary

What they are doing is using what they call ‘the International Definition of Antisemitism recently adopted by the British government’ (what they mean is the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition which has no legal validity) to define all anti-Zionism as ‘anti-Semitic’.  Opposition to what is called Israel’s ‘right to exist’ is now anti-Semitic.  The new definition of ‘anti-Semitism’ which in fact has nothing at all to do with anti-Semitism, is nothing more than a thinly disguised means of attacking freedom of speech.  That is why it has to be fought and that is why Jeremy Corbyn was wrong to stupidly and meekly go along with Theresa May’s cynical adoption of it. 

Most people think of violent attacks on people who are Jewish as anti-Semitism.  Now there is a concerted attempt by Zionist groups to label any opposition to Israel as a Jewish supremacist state as ‘anti-Semitic’.  This has to be resisted.  Denying ‘Israel’s right to exist’ as if a state is a human being and accusing Jews of being part of a conspiracy is apparently antisemitic.  Well we know from the recent Al Jazeera programme The Lobby that some Jews who are Zionists are very much involved in conspiracies against democratic political organisations.

Of course the CAA and Israel’s apologists in Britain have nothing to say about the outrageous racism that is quite normal in Israel because they are too concerned with digging out traces of ‘anti-Semitism’.  Anti-racism is the last thing they are concerned with.

For example Israel’s Deputy Defence Minister Eli Dahan was reported by Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper as saying that:

‘Homosexual Jews have "higher souls" than gentiles, gay or straight, the deputy minister for religious services told the Israeli daily Maariv.

As Reuven Hammer, a former president of the International Rabbinical Assembly commented in the Jerusalem Post:

‘Imagine for a moment that the religious affairs minister in some democratic country – England or Switzerland for example – were to make a public statement that “the souls of all Christians are superior to the souls of Jews.” Would Israel not make a fuss? Would not the ADL and the Weisenthal Center cry out in protest? Would not Jews in that country demand the immediate resignation of such an official? But in Israel, the man who fills such a slot – Deputy Religious Services Minister Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan – recently said just that about Christians. He is quoted as saying in an interview which he knew would be published that the souls of all Jews are higher than those of Christians or Muslims or anybody else, yet his job is secure.

The Times of Israel, in an article New deputy defense minister called Palestinians ‘animals’ reported that ‘While discussing the resumption of peace talks in a radio interview in 2013, Ben Dahan said that “To me, they are like animals, they aren’t human.”  Dahan is not the only member of the Israeli government to talk about Palestinians as animals.  Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu is on record as describing Arabs surrounding Israel as being ‘wild beasts’.  Netanyahu plans fence around Israel to protect it from 'wild beasts'  As far as I’m aware lions, tigers and such creatures aren’t known to roam the deserts of the Middle East!

There are 70 entries for Jeremy Corbyn - none of them complimentary

The CAA has a long record of attacking people on the Left and in the Labour Party.  It has been allowed to get away with it for far too long.  For example It attacked Labour MP Gerald Kaufmann over his use of the term ‘Jewish money’ even though it’s a phrase widely used in the Jewish community.  I googled the Jewish Chronicle archive and got nearly 600 occurrences.  When I searched the CAA’s website I got up 21 result for Kaufman.  I got 70 results for ‘Corbyn’ – nice little charitable articles such as ‘Corbyn’s hypocrisy exposed yet again by Labour’s latest stealthy readmission of suspended antisemite’

The CAA has 29 search results on Gerald Kaufman - a Jewish Labour MP who supports the Palestinians - all of them attack him

When I searched under ‘British National Party’ I got 19 results.  Good I thought, at least they are covering the far Right which even the Home Affairs Select Committee’s flawed report on anti-Semitism conceded was responsible for the majority of anti-Semitic attacks.  But no, all of them were concerned with other parties and the BNP were mentioned tangentially.  The Liberal Democrats were also attacked by the CAA.

There are 29 entries for that well-known anti-Semite Shami Chakrabarti - the Shadow Attorney General

Shami Chakrabarti, who conducted an Inquiry into anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, has been a particular focus of the CAA’s ire.  There are no less than 29 articles concerning her, all of them hostile.  In CAA response to Jewish Labour Movement’s decision to invite Shami Chakrabarti to address antisemitism rally they write that:

‘The Labour Party has become a political home of antisemitism and the Jewish Labour Movement has fought hard to save their Party from its grasp. Nothing has undermined that effort more than Shami Chakrabarti’s whitewash of a report which cleared the Party of antisemitism, a feat for which she was rewarded by ennoblement by Jeremy Corbyn to the very institution that he promised never to promote anyone to.

As a matter of policy we do not comment on the work of other organisations engaged in the fight against antisemitism, but in this case we must make an exception. The Jewish Labour Movement’s decision to invite Shami Chakrabarti to address a rally against antisemitism is misjudged to the point of surrealism. Indeed, the very idea that it is possible to hold a rally in a pub to heal antisemitism in the Labour Party is absurd because the Labour Party, under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, continues to deny that its antisemitism problem even exists. That is perhaps why the Jewish Labour Movement’s own poll of its members found that only 4% of them back Jeremy Corbyn in the current leadership election.

When antisemitism reaches the levels it now has within the Labour Party, the only effective strategy is to stand up and defy it with dignity.

I have previously covered the CAA and its antics, notably in a blog post 9 months ago EXCLUSIVE - Lifting the Lid on the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism - The Bogus Charity that Campaigns Against Corbyn, Muslims and Palestinians.

More False Allegations of Anti-Semitism - their purpose is to shore up position of Progress MP Peter Kyle

Death Threats Sent to Labour's Rebecca Massey because of vile accusations by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism

According to the CAA, anyone who opposes Zionism and supports the Palestinians is anti-Semitic

The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism's scurrilous post that has led to death threats against Becky 

This scumbag is the person behind much of the CAA output - let him know how u feel

Apparently it is anti-Semitic to say what Ehud Olmert, Israel's last Prime Minister said viz. Israel controls the US and British foreign policy

Hove's far-right Progress MP Peter Kyle - his career is what these allegations are really about

2 weeks ago Becky Matthews, an activist in Brighton and Hove Momentum, an anti-Zionist and supporter of the Palestinians as well as being a long-standing anti-racist campaigner, was elected by 3 votes as Chair of the Hove Central and Brunswick and Adelaide ward.  This is the ward of Hove’s Progress MP Peter Kyle.  Panic set in amongst his supporters.

On Friday the right-wing Zionist charity, the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism printed a scurrilous article on their web site, Just another day for racist Labour as antisemitic tweets of Party’s Chair in Hove, Brunswick and Adelaide revealed.  The basis of this allegation of anti-Semitism were two tweets. 

The CAA insist that the Israel lobby is a 'misnomer' - 'she means a 'Jewish lobby' in other words Israel/Zionist=Jew.  Strangely the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee describes itself as 'America's bipartisan pro-Israel lobby' - strange that!!

Cllr. Caroline 'Poison' Penn - her only talent is a willingness to stab fellow Labour members in the back

Fascist Fitch - Cllr Caroline 'Poison' Penn's housemate

One was a well researched article by Asa Winstanley on the Electronic Intifada web site How Israel lobby manufactured UK Labour Party’s anti-Semitism crisis.  As the title says, it shows how the allegations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party after Jeremy Corbyn was elected Leader were manufactured by the Zionist lobby and its allies, including as we now know from the Al Jazeera programmes, The Lobby, the Israeli Embassy.  The article shows for example how early allegations against Vicky Kirby, who had allegedly tweeted about Jews having ‘big noses’ were entirely false.  She was in fact tweeting the script from a satirical play, Infidels, which was written by a Jewish playwright, David Badiel.  Guido Fawkes, the Tory blogger, had photoshopped her tweets and this was picked up by the mainstream media and other assorted liars.

Greg Hadfield, himself suspended on bogus charges, announces Becky's triumph which sent the libellers and defamers wild with fear

The other heinous offence of Becky was to tweet a comment to an article Corbyn's Victory Could Make Israel a Partisan Issue in British Politics in Israel’s Ha’aretz by Anshel Pfeffer, of September 12^th 2015, was ‘an interesting insight into how Israel has Tory and Labour parties under control’.  This isn’t a conclusion I would draw from reading the article which was more of a potted history of how Labour and the Tory party, up to the expected victory of Corbyn in the Labour leadership elections had been pro-Israel/Zionist.  Nonetheless it was a valid interpretation to make.  There is nothing whatsoever anti-Semitic about either of her tweets.

Caplin was busy tweeting his normal racist rubbish

War criminal and Junior Defence Minister at the time of Iraq War - Ivor Caplin

Israeli politicians themselves and their well-funded lobbies like AIPAC claim that they can control American foreign policy.  Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made exactly this claim when he said that he had forced Condoleeza Rice, the Secretary of State, to abstain in a UN vote.  Olmert Says He Made Rice Change Vote  Netanyahu made a very good attempt to exert control of US foreign policy last year when he flew to the US to address Congress as to why it shouldn’t endorse Obama’s Iran agreement. 

unpopular in Brighton & Hove - Crask is always willing to accuse others of his own sins

I consider Becky Matthews a good and close friend.  I have stood with her on anti-fascist and anti-racist demonstrations, I can  honestly say she hasn’t got a racist bone in her body.  Her detractors are people who wouldn’t be seen dead on a refugee demonstration or in opposition to the English Defence League.  It is those who make vile accusations of racism against sincere anti-racists who should hang their heads in shame.  First and foremost the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism which was formed at the height of Israel’s murderous war on Gaza when over 500 Palestinian children were murdered by Israel’s intense bombardment of the defenceless Palestinian population in the summer of 2014.  It has unbelievably been registered as a charity.  It is a Zionist political propaganda group, consisting of 3 people, who put out a volley of abuse against mainly labour and left-wing supporters of the Palestinians alleging anti-Semitism.  There is nothing charitable about it and it offers no public benefit, which is the test of a charity.

There is no doubt that the digging up of an 18 month old tweet served one purpose and one purpose alone.  It was to shore up the increasingly shaky position of Labour’s far-right Hove MP Peter Kyle.  A man who supported the bombing of Syria, who supported Blair’s war in Iraq and who opposed Caroline Lucas’s Reinstatement of the NHS Bill last year because he is in favour of the involvement of the private sector in the NHS.  I can remember, when hearing about his victory in Hove in 2015 over the Tory candidate by 700 votes remarking that the most right-wing candidate had won!

Apparently it is 'anti-Semitic' to accuse Chuku Umunna of  conflating Zionism and being Jewish!  the absurd Alice in the Wonderland position of the CAA - anything we disagree with is anti-Semitic

Suffice to say his supporters have been tweeting and retweeting the CAA’s libellous accusations.  Why?  Because the AGM of the newly established Hove Labour Party was due to be held tomorrow.  Kyle feared that his supporters would lose control over Hove Labour Party and that the continuation of his career as a Labour/Tory MP might be in jeopardy.

Cllr. Cattell  known for being a few sandwiches short of a picnic

Cllr. Julie Cattell combines a viperous tongue and stupidity in equal measure

Amongst the retweeters were former junior Defence Secretary at the time of the Iraq War and war criminal Ivor Caplin @ivorcaplin (reputedly an ex-partner of Kyle) and Progress Councillors Julie Cattell @cooljool80 and Caroline ‘Poison’ Penn @thepennydrops and @CllrCaroline.  Poison Penn despite her opposition to anti-Semitism allowed BNP supporter Fascist Fitch to use her address for Labour Party registration purposes.   See Revealed: The anti-Corbyn “moderate” in Brighton and Hove who stands accused of the hate-crime against Seema Chandwani

Another of the mockers and defamers was Edward Crask @edwardcrask, who stood for Treasurer of Brighton District Labour Party last July and lost only to have the election result annulled.  Never a popular figure he stood as delegate to Hove General Committee coming 31^st in the elections for 30 places!  Nonetheless the Zionist Jewish Labour Movement found him a place. 

Ralli Hall objects to 'anti-Semitic' supporters of the Palestinians but has no problems with advocates of rape

The Hove AGM was cancelled because the Jewish communal centre, Ralli Hall, where the meeting was supposed to take place, unilaterally terminated the booking.  This is the same Ralli Hall which staged a meeting 18 months ago featuring Professor Mordechai Kedar of Israel’s religious University Bar Ilan.  Kedar is a retired colonel in the Israeli army.  See The Zionist Federation and Sussex Friends of Israel Invite an Advocate of Rape to Speak

The CAA particularly didn't like Becky's defence of Ken Livingstone

Kedar is famous for his advocacy of rape against Palestinian women as a weapon of war.  Israel’s Ha'aretz newspaper in an article Israeli Professor's 'Rape as Terror Deterrent' Statement Draws Ire quoted him as saying that:  ‘'The only thing that deters a suicide bomber is the knowledge that if he pulls the trigger or blows himself up, his sister will be raped'. (22.7.14.). 

Palestine Solidarity Campaign picketed the meeting.  Many Jewish venues, including schools and synagogues, such as Finchley, cancelled their meetings when Kedar’s comments became known.  Even the Board of Deputies of British Jews dissociated themselves from Kedar but not Ralli Hall, which was quite happy for the rally to go ahead.  Their cancellation of the Hove AGM smacks of utter hypocrisy and Labour should never use this venue again.

As a consequence of the activities of Kyle’s supporters, Becky Matthews has received death threats and has referred these to the Police, as well as making a complaint to the Charity Commission about the scurrilous article on the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism website.
