Thread. So, out putting up @UKLabour boards today in Norwich. Knocked on a door to check resident still happy to have one. Resident says she's 'unsure'. Me: Why? Resident: I don't like Jeremy Corbyn, Brexit and Antisemitism. So, I dealt with these one by one
2. Giving her facts (MSM have been vilifying JC for 4 years no wonder you don't like him) and explaining that Antisemitism in Labour has been proved (by research and stuff!) to be 0.08% and that as a Jew I feel happy in the Labour Party.
3. She said but how come so many Jewish people are not voting Labour and cited her friends who read the Jewish Chronicle. Again, I explained that the JC has been on a crusade to discredit the Left BEFORE JC became leader.
4. She did listen, and I could see confusion in her face. She loves the polices, particularly the New Green Deal. She likes our local MP, she knows the FibDems, well, fib! so....
5. She took a board (YAY!) but I was disturbed. She, like many residents here with the same concerns is intelligent and educated but these media slurs have got through. I'd like to think I made a difference and she will vote Labour.
6. To all my fellow comrades out there knocking and getting the same. Be persistent. Keep telling the truth, keep pushing the policies. We will win, we will get there. #ReachOverTheNoise #JC4PM #VoteLabour12December
