Seven MPs quit the Labour Party over antisemitism

25

“I cannot remain in a party that I have come to the sickening conclusion is institutionally antisemitic.” What took so long? The alliance between Islamic supremacists and the Left has been well documented for years. Whitewash and ignore jihad terror while demonizing and smearing those who oppose it.

Luciana Berger among seven MPs quitting ‘institutionally antisemitic’ Labour

The Independent Group represents the biggest split in the party since four MPs left to form the Social Democratic Party in the 1980s

Luciana Berger is among the seven Labour MPs who have resigned in protest at Jeremy Corbyn’s handling of complaints surrounding antisemitism and Brexit.

Berger, alongside Chuka Umunna, Mike Gapes, Ann Coffey, Chris Leslie, Gavin Shuker and Angela Smith today announced they would be jumping ship at a press conference “relating to the future of British politics”.

Berger said: “I cannot remain in a party that I have come to the sickening conclusion is institutionally antisemitic.

“It was nearly a year ago that we saw the unprecedented event of a minority community – the Jewish community – taking to Parliament Square to demonstrate against the Labour party.

“And yet since then, despite the mountain of evidence, we have only seen the situation of racism against Jewish people get worse.

“The leadership has willfully and repeatedly failed to address hatred against Jewish people within its ranks.

“I am leaving behind a culture of bullying, bigotry and intimidation.”

The seven MPs said they will continue to serve in parliament under the newly-formed Independent Group.

This represents the biggest split in the party since four MPs, known as The Gang of Four, left to form the Social Democratic Party in the 1980s.

Andrew Gwynne, MP for Denton and Reddish, tweeted: “For 27 years, @UKLabour has been my political home – under Kinnock, Smith, Blair, Brown, Miliband and Corbyn – and it will remain so.

“Britain needs a transformational government working #ForTheMany and I still believe it’s only Labour that can, and will, provide that.”

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said: “I am disappointed that these MPs have felt unable to continue to work together for the Labour policies that inspired millions at the last election and saw us increase our vote by the largest share since 1945.

“Labour won people over on a programme for the many not the few – redistributing wealth and power, taking vital resources into public ownership, investing in every region and nation, and tackling climate change.

“The Tories are bungling Brexit while Labour has set out a unifying and credible alternative plan. When millions face the misery of Universal Credit, rising crime, homelessness and poverty, now more than ever is the time to bring people together to build a better future for us all”.

Jewish Labour Movement said: “It’s deeply regrettable that the leadership of the Labour party’s failure to tackle antisemitism has precipitated the resignation of our Parliamentary chair, Luciana Berger MP and others.

“Countless Jewish Labour Party members have resigned in these last few years in protest at the abject failure of the Party to address a growing culture of antisemitism, obfuscation and denial.

“It will be for our members to decide what they, and we, do next.”

Board of Deputies President Mari van der Zyl said: “In a searing indictment of the Labour leadership both Luciana Berger MP and Mike Gapes MP accused the party of being institutionally antisemitic.

“In the light of the horrific abuse aimed at Jewish MPs, we stand in solidarity with all those who have been targeted. Labour has failed to deal with antisemitism since the Jewish Community’s Enough is Enough demonstration called  on the Labour leadership to act against this racism.

“This is a moment of great shame for the Labour Party and a tragedy for the thousands of Jews who have supported the Party for generations.”

And it’s only going to be getting worse, because wherever the f’ing muslum vermin spread freedom and liberty die on the vine.
Was the 40mm bofors AA system you were trained on in the UK radar controlled? What was the effective range?

The one and only way to fight the Islamic plague spreading in America is to CRUSH the Democratic party (for at least a decade to come) that is aiding & abetting the spread of this Islamic plague, the one and only way to do that, is to give Trump another 4 years so he can totally flush out the ‘Deep State’ Traitors out of government which are relentlessly sabotaging Trump’s administration on behalf of the Democratic party & their globalist overlords…

These ‘Deep State’ operatives are Traitors and should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law

Fortunately, the main stream media is steadily limping into a grave of irrelevancy thanks to Twitter / YouTube, cellphones, Trump / Patriots and Fox News (most of the time…) / Breitbart / PG etc

I still can’t believe they trained you and you were still a kid and not even a recruit in the armed forces. Was it a quad mount?
In WW2 the nazis and the allies both used Bofors 40mm cannon for AA because Sweden was of such high moral caliber they would sell to anyone.

Seven Labour MPs quit; more importantly, one must ask about those choosing to back this antisemitic, anti-Israel, pro-Jihad Marxist. The man is not solely a menace to Britain but the West; he holds no loyalty to Britain or others not of his political malignancy.

Labour /Left/socialist are pro-jihadi anti-semites. Nothing new

They are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons

And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them https://tinyurl.com/yahupccy

Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

And why are sharia followers in Police dept ?! To Impose Sharia ?

I can’t imagine being incarcerated in a prison run by f’ing muslums.
Is that badge of the City of New York, department of corrections actual? Does it really have a mosque and reference to Mecca?

“Why are sharia followers in the police department?”

Absolutely to impose sharia. It is the same reason they seek political office. It is the stealth jihad as they continue to “grow”. Once they get to above 5%, they’ll start their nogo zones. Eventually, they’ll start to fight for autonomy… that is unless they can take the whole country due to our own stupidity. Imagine if our country gets taken over without our military involvement?

Finally the truth about Britain’s leadership that cows to the Muslim population that has “infected” Britain speaks out loudly and clearly. Maybe the people of Britain will stand up to this hate and violence towards the Jewish world. Until that actually happens, and Britain faces the calamitous reality that their new refugees have created, that country is lost.

The Labour party, like the Dem0rats have already decided what their new voter base will be: the antisemitic, fascist muslums and everyone else be damned.

Spot on Pam, agreed. Hopefully we’ll see a mass exodus from the evil Labour-Nazi-Muslim party but I won’t hold my breath.

Western nations have turned into such basket-cases under the leadership of traitorous Leftists and cowardly Conservatives. Fortunately the UK has Anne Marie Waters and her For Britain party which is anti-Islam and pro-Freedom.

It’s the same fight we face in all western nations. Almost makes me wish I lived in some peaceful nation like Poland or Hungary which has no Muslim problem because they have almost no Muslims. But frankly I prefer to stay where I am and make the Muslims leave.

To say Anne Marie Waters has an uphill battle against her rotten, corrupt government and their muslum overlords is to understate the forces arrayed against her and party.

Good, the shoe is on the other foot and kicking Corbyn who
needs to go
May should do nothing with Brexit and avoid the EU, and let the Labour party self estruction..

With anti-Semitism in UK, I was wondering how many war criminals UK took in after WW2, still further reading with Operation Matchbox and UK’s T-Force. Australia, NZ and Canada got loads full of war criminals also under Operation Paperclip and Ratlinea

I am guessing Mr Corbyn is a “Malignant Narcissist”

“Also known as Toxic Narcissists, they are highly manipulative and exploitative. These narcissists have many antisocial traits that are not present in the other two major types and are often compared with sociopaths and psychopaths. They often have a sadistic streak that makes them different from the other two major types. Their primary goal is to dominate and control, and they will use deceit and aggression to accomplish it and lack remorse for their actions. They may even enjoy the suffering of others.”

Anyone else wish to put forth an opinion?

This is actually the answer: Jews are the

is what the others do with our thoughts.
