Derek Hatton
Jump to: Newest in thread
Get used to conservatism everyone, as Labour's Herculean effort to become unelectable reaches its near climax. Not only do they refuse to oppose, but a panel readmits the mendacious pillock that is 'Degsy' back in the party. A government in crisis, and yet they're trailing in the polls. Start growing a mullet. |

"Derek Hatton built houses for the homeless. What is not to love. "
Mass redundancy? Criminality? Hypocrisy? A tax haven property empire whilst espousing Labour values? Actually he doesn't even do that anymore. Which begs the question... |

I don't like him but technically he's served his time, so to speak. He hasn't joined any other party or stood against Labour candidates like other exiles have (Galloway etc).
But my gut says I'd rather him out than in. |

"His choice was to
'break the law or break the poor' .......
he chose the latter. Maybe not the brightest Trotskyite in the box.... but certainly the most earnest."
The man is a piece of work. There should be no place in the Labour Party for idiots like him |

He needs to stop mixing with the likes of Andy Wigmore......re-admitting him is an own goal. |

Just saw it on itv news Derek Hatton has already been suspended by the Labour party for an offensive tweet he did in 2012.  |

So their internal vetting procedures are credible then....they admit him, a high profile individual with a certain track record on Monday and realise by Wednesday that he has posted some hatred, akin to the ravings in Der Sturmer online in 2012.
Good thing that we are assured that there are robust procedures in place. Perhaps they may look at Monday's tweets by Ruth George (hastily withdrawn) or maybe they will not.

"Nothing to do with Liverpool Wavertree needing a new Labour candidate in any GE?  "
I don't think there was any notion that he'd ever stand.
However, he's out again, so it's not worth talking about. |

Maybe they should have checked on Monday before re-admitting him? It has made them look very foolish as a party. |

Hatton is a corrupt self obsessed fraud,he has loads of money has conned people on business yet claims to care about people.
Sits in expensive lounges at Goodison Park,drinks Champaine and passes nasty comments about others.
I was once a guest there and was taken over to be introduced to him,I refused to shake his hand and made a remark to him and have never been invited back I also was shocked that the guy who invited me was his friend so not seen him much either.

Effectively blaming all Jews for the actions of the Israeli government? Let's be clear, the underlying sentiment is there and a failure to recognise that is also very questionable. |

How is that blaming all Jews? It's calling them all out to stand up and make their voices heard about what the Israeli government is doing.

Why should only the Jewish members of society speak out against Israeli actions? Jews in general are not responsible for the actions of Israel any more than I am responsible for the actions of our dumb PM |

By singling out one group to do something, simply based upon a race, creed, colour, belief etc.
Explain why a hatred or prejudice has not been shown?

Not quite sure how your question addresses the point that one group haven't been singled out.
Or are you agreeing that singling out a group is effectively racist, xenophobic etc? |

So you're saying that in 1937 or whatever, if you were to tweet that you think Germans should be more vocal against the Nazi government, that would be anti-German, and you shouldn't say such things? |

What I am saying is that when it is expected that a singular group take an action to the exclusion of others, then it is clearly racist.
In this case, the tweet was picking on Jews to take an action as a group.
The implication of asking Germans in 1937 to criticise the evils of Nazism is curious. Do you think it betrays your own confusion between a country and a racial group when applied to the Israel/Jewish argument? |

"Israel is by definition is a Jewish state.

Can I clarify what you are implying? You seem to be saying that all Jews should be solely responsible for condemning the actions of the government of a sovereign state (whether you like or dislike that country's policies or existance).
You have excluded anyone else from that obligation.
Why doesn't that equate to antisemitism when asking Jews alone to carry out a condemnations?
Just remember the labour Party's own rules give examples of antisemitism which include
Accusing Jewish people of being more loyal to Israel than their home country;
Claiming that Israel’s existence as a state is a racist endeavour;
Requiring higher standards of behaviour from Israel than other nations;
Comparing contemporary Israeli policies to those of the Nazis.
(And please read the full appendix and notes for each rather than just react to the headlines). |

The answer to any political question should not be elicited by rounding on a singular group based upon their religious belief to the exclusion of others. |

Israel is by definition a Jewish state .If you want to ask people to challenge their governments actions.You are going to have to ask Jews .
Do you consider someone like Chomsky anti Semitic or a traitor ? He's the most outspoken critic of Israel I know of .Far more vicious in his condemnation than anything in British politics and a Nobel winning Jew.. |

So you do think that minority groups should be rounded upon to answer for the actions of an independent country (whether you agree with the existance of that state is irrelevant)?
Stating that all Jews alone should be answering for the actions of Israel is an antisemitic statement, is it not?
If the question was that everyone should be asked to condemn, then it is fair game.
As the tweet rounded on Jews, it isn't.

I'm really more than a little surprised that you can't see what's wrong with his comments. Your response is the problem also. Why should Jews be held any more accountable for the actions of the Israeli government than anyone else? Why should Jews have to speak out more than you or me?

But you're not saying Israelies should be more vocal about anything, you're saying Jews, whether Israeli or not, should be more vocal.

I absolutely agree with the Jewish state I've lived and worked there and the Jewish community needs to be vocal in its condemnation of Israel.Im not holding them culpable im saying the silence needs to stop.

We should be asking Israelis, whether Druze, Arab or Jewish, to hold Israel and their Govetment to account. We should also ask all non Israelis, whether Jewish or not, to do more to condemn oppression and not just in Israel.
