A parcel that refuses to detonate?

I am beginning to wonder about the sanity of continuing to blog about the so-called anti-semitism ‘problem’ in the Labour Party – it feels like an all-consuming flesh eating moth that’s flown in through the window and is about to burrow into one’s brain through one’s left ear lobe. Maybe that should be the right ear lobe. Anyway, it’s been a long day, starting with Jonathan Sacks given free air time to slander Corbyn on BBC Radio 4’s Sunday programme this morning and the BBC news at ten this evening headlining with the ‘news’ of Gordon Brown’s speech (rant) to a smallish meeting of the Jewish Labour Movement (which they’ve never reported before) instead of leading with their next story about the complete fuck-up in Brexit which is now emerging, and which will definitely pose an ‘existential’ threat to a great many people in the UK. The fact that all these anti-Corbynites didn’t speak out at the same time – Sacks, Field, Brown, various others – but have emerged in a drip feed, strongly suggests a concerted effort to keep the nonsense alive. It’s like somebody is passing a baton around, with the words ‘now it’s your turn, he hasn’t gone yet.’ Why didn’t Gordon Brown awake to Corbyn’s ‘anti-semitism’ three months ago? Why did it take Field so long to discover his badly hurt conscience? Come on Tony, it’s your turn next. The Telegraph would love to hear from you.
