I can forgive the Labour Party, but I can never forget

My piece on the ignominious descent of @UKLabour in to institutionalised antisemitism, the scars it has left and how whatever #EHRC report says we must not be complacent. /1

I hope we've now reached the beginning of the end on to #LabourAntisemitism, but there is still a long and winding road to go.

We cannot afford the public silence we saw from people like Keir Starmer as happened in the past. This silence was complicity in #LabourAntisemitism. /2

This is not to deny words and deeds from Starmer been welcome since he became @UKLabour leader, hence the forgiveness bit in title.

However, it would be remiss of me to not forget his time as Shadow Brexit Secretary or the muteness of those such as Ed Miliband. /3

#EHRCReport

I hope my blog enlightens those who would like to know about how we reached the stage where @UKLabour ended up being investigated by @EHRC for #LabourAntisemitism.

I also believe it can serve as a useful educational tool. /4

This piece came straight from the heart and my aim is for this blog to be the first of many in the future.

Writing is a passion of mine and the pen is mightier than the sword. /5

When it comes to #LabourAntisemitism please do not assume this is just the Jews Jews problem and not read pieces in mine.

Rising antisemitism is the sign of a society becoming more hateful.

After all what starts with the Jews never ends with the Jews. /6

#EHRC

We all owe an amazing to all those who spoke out and did so much thankless work exposing the moral abyss of #LabourAntisemitism.

A thankless task, which painted a target on their back and led to some of the worst social media abuse I've ever seen. /7

There are far too many heroes to mention, but I'd thought I l'd name a few starting with @Steve_Cooke who I mention in my piece. /8

Do comment if you'd like to share your voice on #LabourAntisemitism as more voices and education on this matter the better.

When speaking out against hate, take a leaf out of the heroes I've just mentioned. Then in the future I could write a more positive blog! /13
