Actually George and followers (and fellow #Corbyn supporters): I believe that Jeremy Corbyn needs some much better, much slicker advisers and media advisers; much like Obama had in the USA. To deal with all the annoying, equally ludicrous, wild Republican conspiracy theories such as the "birther" nonsense. Democrats treated that as it so obviously was: an attempt to deny Obama the presidency on spurious grounds!! I ALSO wish we had some (nominally neutral but basically liberal) fact-checking websites like Snopes.com but based in the UK, to squash all silly theories. Such as the above. I've said this on my same-named Twitter account.
And this whole idea, of Jeremy Corbyn being an anti-semite, or any kind of racist, or of allowing or encouraging the same is EQUALLY IF NOT MORE LUDICROUS than any American far right conspiracy theory.
But think what would have happened, if, say, Obama were accused of being an anti-semite. His party machine would have squashed that: not dwelt on it and magnified it, because they are far less divided than the Labour Party over here.
Anyway. Someone on You Tube, I think it was Finkelstein, might have been Chomsky, said that Jeremy Corbyn should have made one firm statement on anti-semitism and that should have been it. His party and advisers should not be apologising for the issue, for him, or making it the story in any way.
(That's why some of us have started the #AnotherCorbynSmear and #BestCorbynSmear hashtags on Twitter, to satirise all these pathetic smear attempts. Please join in! ☺️👍)
As for the #IHRA: I'm so fed up with them, don't want nothin' to do with 'em! 😏

@shangrila448 You SURE that was all it was? 😏 I thought it was because the children came from poor communities and went to "sink" schools. (Incidentally, I've read quite a number of the "groomees" memoirs: and while I feel very sorry for them, in some cases I feel the parents were at fault. They failed to see the warning signs; and at least in one case, a girl moved into an area with a frankly rubbish school, where the teachers didn't care, and she was thrown in with a lot of girls who were under-age drinkers and who were involved in "risky business" - why do you think that charity was called that?
Now MY parents would never have let me have friends who were like that; and, I think, although they had no money for private schools, they would have moved heaven and earth, to ensure that I went to a school that was a bit better than THAT! (They would have had success, especially after the rules changed in the 1990s and you could choose your school, because I was academically successful.) Savvy parents know, that children tend to copy and imbibe the behaviour of those around them. Don't let your kids associate with the stupid ones or the violent ones. 😏)
