    I’m not asking about anything else in the world. Take all the names out of it then and simplify it down if that helps, are you both condoning changing an anti-apartheid message into a message that says that person is racist?

    You’re literally swinging the pendulum from one side to the other.

    The question posed was why has she done it. I follow Rachel Riley on Twitter, have seen her tweets, so thought I'd answer the question.

    I have no interest in getting into a slagging match about the rights and wrongs of any actions when it concerns politics. This board is awful close to election times and I'd rather not be part of it.

    Is she yet another member of the "Criticism of Israel = Antisemitism" Brigade?

    If so, anyone who doesn't like spaghetti = Antipastafarianism and I am offended!!

    From Essex, “supports” Manchester United. Why would anyone take her seriously?

    Pretty much. She’s a massive Tory too. Great at maths, but a little bit dim otherwise.

    19. On 3 December 2016, Corbyn made a visit to Terezin Concentration Camp when Jewish people were murdered by the Nazis. It was Jeremy’s third visit to such a camp, all of which were largely unreported in the most read UK papers.

    26. In September 2017, Corbyn backed a motion at Labour’s annual conference introducing a new set of rules regarding antisemitism.
    27. In the six months that followed the introduction of the new code of conduct, to March 2018, 94% of the fifty-four people accused of antisemitism remained suspended or barred from Labour Party membership. Three of the fifty-four were exonerated.
    28. When Jennie Formby became general secretary of the party last year, she appointed a highly-qualified in-house Counsel, as recommended in the Chakrabarti Report.
    29. In 2018, Labour almost doubled the size of its staff team handling investigations and dispute processes.
    30. Last year, to speed up the handling of antisemitism cases, smaller panels of 3-5 NEC members were established to enable cases to be heard more quickly.
    31. Since 2018, every complaint made about antisemitism is allocated its own independent specialist barrister to ensure due process is followed.
    32. The entire backlog of cases outstanding upon Jennie Formby becoming General Secretary of the Labour Party was cleared within 6 months of Jennie taking up her post.
    33. Since September 2018, Labour has doubled the size of its National Constitutional Committee (NCC) – its senior disciplinary panel – from 11 to 25 members to enable it to process cases more quickly.
    34. Under Formby and Labour’s left-run NEC, NCC arranged elections at short notice to ensure the NCC reached its new full capacity without delay.
    35. Since later 2018, the NCC routinely convenes a greater number of hearing panels to allow cases to be heard and finalised without delay.
    36. In 2018, the NEC established a ‘Procedures Working Group’ to lead reforms in the way disciplinary cases are handled.
    37. The NEC adopted the IHRA working definition of antisemitism and all eleven examples of antisemitism attached to it.
    38. A rule change agreed at Conference in 2018 means that all serious complaints, including antisemitism, are dealt with nationally to ensure consistency.
    39. Last year, Jennie Formby wrote to the admins and moderators of Facebook groups about how they can effectively moderate online spaces and requested that any discriminatory content be reported to the Labour Party for investigation.
    40. Since last year, no one outside Labour’s Governance and Legal Unit can be involved in decision-making on antisemitism investigations. This independence allows decisions free from political influence to be taken.

    If opposing Israel's oppression of the Palestinian people makes someone anti-semitic, then I must be too.

    It wasnt a mainstream or sanction march though.

    The Anti Apartheid Movement and the police had agreed to boundaries around embassies when picketing.

    At the time of his arrest and the taking of that iconic photo Corbyn was on a picket organised by the City of London Anti Apartheid Group inside the agreed picket boundaries.

    The group Corbyn belonged to was also linked to the Revolutionary Communist Group.

    The City of London group was also monitored by the security services due to the links to the RCG...
