"Labour MP John Woodcock has resigned from the Labour party and will now sit as an independent MP. He says Corbyn's leadership or lack there of is the reason he decided to go. Another Labour MP Margaret Hodge also accused Corbyn of being, and I quote..."a fucking anti semite and a racist" after Corbyns new definition of anti semitism within the Labour party came into effect. Corbyn has also had more front bench resignations overall than Theresa May, can he hold on much longer as leader? " same thing could be said of elpicke resigning as conservative mp and standing as an independent mp for dover a few week ago centy....... but you seemed to skip that one..... ![]() | |||

"Corbyn isn't a modern Labour Party leader. He's a Communist, Socialist Workers' Party leader." That's the bit i like, yes. | |||

"Lets face it politics is changing,they are all becoming virtual independants in both parties. Result of weak leaders, poor policies,the country will end up in anarchy a bit like Italy. This is partly due to brexit but also a sign of the times we live in." It maybe better for the country if the 2 main parties split along Brexit lines. One pro EU remain party and one pro Brexit leave party. Seeing as most constituencies voted Leave in the referendum and around 85% of the public voted for Brexit manifestos in the general election it's pretty clear which party would win. | |||

But I do wonder what will happen if the old bastard lives long enough to bear the fruits of all the promises (lies) he told the young people who appear to believe the shit. This guy is worse than Tony Benn, Michael Foot and Neil Kinnock all put together, with the influences of Karl Marx and Gerry Adams thrown in for “good” measure. Imagine the mess we would be in if ever he did get elected!! | |||

Especially if we can add in those not currently in the HoC but who could be if we were to reconstruct the parties. So I’d include hannan, farage, Cameron, and osbourne. | |||

"must keep old jc in charge ...he is doing his best to keep the tories in power....boy is he weak" Two things. First in answer to the above. The mess this country is in is the direct result of Tory policies and Tory willingness to sacrifice anything, including the future of the country to remain in power. I for one do not want to see another GE until after brexit. Tories made the mess they can own the results. Second, and this is a general point. Although Woodcock has resigned from the Labour party I notice he is not resigning as an MP and putting himself forward for reelection in a by-election. So I for one will not be setting much store in any of his self-serving rhetoric. | |||
"Corbyn isn't a modern Labour Party leader. He's a Communist, Socialist Workers' Party leader." Really? Why then is he leader of neither the Communist Party of the UK nor the Socialist Workers Party? Fact is, he's a centre left socialist, trying to control a party with a lot of centre right MPs. | |||

"Corbyn is the least racist person I know. He's protected the rights of people who were oppressed through dictatorships all over the world. He was a part of our Chilean community in London too and well know to us. Corbyn clearly says anti-zionist, being against the Israel regime is not anti-Semitic. He didn't redefine it. He's clarifying what it actually means. I saw the article on the Sun and they took it out of context. Go to a free Palestine protest. You will see it's not about race but the state. " Labour MP Margaret Hodge clearly disagrees and she is a Jew herself. It was her who called Corbyn a "fucking anti semite and a racist". She also said to Corbyn,... "You don't want people like me in the party". Corbyn didn't deny it, all he said in reply was "I'm sorry you feel like that". The exchange between the two has been independently verified by several different people, mainly Labour party members. As for your view that Corbyn has protected the rights of people who are oppressed by dictatorships all over the world it's simply not true. Corbyn has repeatedly refused to condemn the brutal dictatorship of Maduro in Venezuela, probably because he backs the dictatorial, authoritarian oppressive regime there. | |||

"Ok centuar. I am starting to think you know nothing about Latin American history. Let's say there is this big global force controlling the UK. In your opinion it's the EU. They're taking your resources, not allowing the UK to sell their goods, controlling their policy, allowing their people to come in and take their jobs and richness. In this hypothetical situation there are two scenarios. Scenario 1. Imagine Brexit fails because the EU force a government change in the UK who is pro EU. Secretly trying to break the government and make it collapse. It does and a pro EU government is formed. So the oppression of the EU continues. Or scenario 2. We take back control. Brexit goes through. Then the EU tried everything to stop you succeeding. Not make trades with you. Block the UK from making trades with anyone else. Brexit fails because of the continued medlong of the EU. You'd be pissed off in either scenario with the EU. Ok. Latin American history. In scenario 1 change the UK to Chile. Change the EU to the USA. That is what happened. In scenario two, change UK to Venezuela and change the EU to the USA. This is why Corbyn protested against Pinochet who forced a pro American economy and politics and took away the riches of the country to the elite. But at the same time cannot condemn Maduros party because the USA has been doing anything they can to get back in." So that's why jeremy is anti EU. ![]() | |||

Can a Jewish person be anti-zionist and not be anti semetic? It's like saying if you're against the government then you are anti britain. Now if someone is pro Israel faces someone else who isn't wouldn't they call them anti Semitic to be below the belt? Again it's like a left wing person calling you a racist because you're on the wrong side of the political spectrum. Since you are pro Jew and seem to care about the people of Venezuela I am assuming you're not racist. I still think you're just like the revelotionary socialist/Marxist Latin Americansit's who wants control back in their country and fighting the greater power. You're more like Maduro than Hitler to be honest. | |||

In Chile all their natural resources were given back to American companies. There is extreme poor and rich. It created a rift between pro Pinochet and anti Pinochet (50/50) for over 40 years. Chile is also the country that had the strongest economy. So imagine the other countries that lived through CIA sponsored dictatorship. Cuba and Venezuela are not CIA sponsored governments. They've suffered through the sanctions and the atttempted take overs. It seems the only way to win in South America is to let the EU, I mean USA, win by giving up the socialist dream or suffer the consequence of dictatorships, revolution or sanctions. Now this is a topic drift. | |||

Now Corbyn has decided he doesn't agree with the internationally recognised definition and has decided to pen his own definition of what he thinks anti semitism means and he has applied it to the whole of the Labour party.

He's clarifying what it actually means. I saw the article on the Sun and they took it out of context. Go to a free Palestine protest. You will see it's not about race but the state. " You make the common mistake of equating Zionism with the present Israeli regime.

But people taking (the modern definition of) anti Zionist can go too far and persecute Jewish people about it which then slips into anti semitism. For example, blaming all British people for the actions of a government. This would be prejudice. This is confusing haha. | |||

"The point is, apparently noone can criticise what israel is doing to Palestine. The genocide and slaughter of palestinians is cool Israel are doing gods work If you have a problem with that You hate jews Labelled anti semitic THAT is what Corbyn has been accused of So apparently you're not allowed to criticize the conflict or else you're jew bashing. Ridiculous " Yep. I think Tony Benn said similar. I can't post the link due to the link having the letter K and the number 9 in close proximity.. | |||

Justifying it with religion, just as Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism and even Buddhism (Buddhism ffs!) Has absolutely no bearing on the religion itself other than to allow it to be stigmatized. Everywhere has a problem with EVERY type of extremism including the Islamic variety. Gerard Batten is UKIPs leader. He believes that Islam (not just extreme interpretations of it) is a "death cult". He also believes that Muslims (not any other group religious or otherwise) should sign an oath denouncing certain parts of the Quran. The full interview is here.

"I haven't read all the the posts on this forum, but was did that MP jump, or was he pushed? No one seems to mention that Frank Field was about to be deselected by his own local constituency Labour party due to him supporting May on Chequers. That was more the reason why he resigned the whip. He has no seat now, and the Labour party won't put on any list. At this moment of time they are asking him to resign the Labour party because he has resigned the whip. Woodcock is in Ilford. It's possible that he was in danger of deselection. I'm waiting to hear news of it before blaming Corbyn. The way things are going, I'm beginning to think this is 'The Chicken Coup -the sequel'. Funny that. All this happening in silly season, when all the local parties have shut up for summer hols and just before conference season... Hmmmm...

"I haven't read all the the posts on this forum, but was did that MP jump, or was he pushed? No one seems to mention that Frank Field was about to be deselected by his own local constituency Labour party due to him supporting May on Chequers. That was more the reason why he resigned the whip. He has no seat now, and the Labour party won't put on any list. At this moment of time they are asking him to resign the Labour party because he has resigned the whip. Woodcock is in Ilford. It's possible that he was in danger of deselection. I'm waiting to hear news of it before blaming Corbyn. The way things are going, I'm beginning to think this is 'The Chicken Coup -the sequel'. Funny that. All this happening in silly season, when all the local parties have shut up for summer hols and just before conference season... Hmmmm... If this happened in November, it would hit the news for a week at most then disappear... John Woodcock is the MP for Barrow, not Ilford.

There is an mp from Ilford who is publically wringing his hands at the moment. I stand corrected. ![]() | |||

Frank Field also voted in line with the Labour party general election manifesto promise to deliver Brexit. The real truth is that far left Momentum activists are going around the country looking for any excuse to deselect moderate Labour MP's. | |||

Not a fan of the type of activities that momentum are engaged in and whilst condemning the actions of those who attacked was it Angela Eagle's constituency office, not sure that those on the far left have carried out the type of acts that the far right have here? The anti semitism within labour is as equally wrong and should be condemned yes but so should the racism within your own political affiliations, is it still the kippers or are you a tory again now? | |||

In any case it's not always what he says, more a case of what he doesn't say.... He has consistently refused to condemn the anti semitism displayed by the more unsavoury militant far left Momentum Labour acolytes, and he has stayed silent when he should have been speaking out against them. He has shown a complete lack of leadership on this particular issue. But then again maybe he has stayed silent because he agrees with what they are saying. | |||

"Labour MP John Woodcock has resigned from the Labour party and will now sit as an independent MP. He says Corbyn's leadership or lack there of is the reason he decided to go. Another Labour MP Margaret Hodge also accused Corbyn of being, and I quote..."a fucking anti semite and a racist" after Corbyns new definition of anti semitism within the Labour party came into effect. Corbyn has also had more front bench resignations overall than Theresa May, can he hold on much longer as leader? So now you’re against racists? Why the change of heart?

Was reported on the news (bbc/sky/itv/channel 4) Corbyn made a personal statement at the meeting, 1 and a half pages long saying he wanted to keep his new definition of anti semitism instead of adopting the full internationally recognised version. Seems Corbyn was out-voted though. So what you now have is a Labour party who has adopted the full internationally recognised version of anti semitism that the leader Corbyn doesn't agree with. You also have Peter Willsman the Labour Momentum activist who labelled Corbyn opponents as "Jewish Trump fanatics" just elected to the NEC Labour ruling body. Somehow I don't think the Jewish community will be reassured much by these developments. ![]() | |||
