It's all just a misunderstanding...

 

Labour Leicester councillor suspended in anti-Semitism probe - BBC News

 

Quote

A Labour councillor has been suspended from the party pending an investigation into anti-Semitism allegations.


Jacky Nangreave, who represents Westcotes ward at Leicester City Council, was suspended over accusations about posts on her social media pages.

Labour Against Antisemitism said some posts claimed Jews were interfering in British politics, including leading a conspiracy against Jeremy Corbyn.

Ms Nangreave said the claims were "a misunderstanding".

"I am very sorry for what I see is a misunderstanding with the party and I hope it will be resolved positively soon," she told the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

"I continue to be a councillor for Westcotes... residents can contact me about any problems they have with the council or the area."

Labour Against Antisemitism has compiled a 16-page document of their allegations, including screenshots of a response to a Facebook post in which Ms Nangreave is alleged to have made under the account name Jacqueline Cryar.

Ms Nangreave has previously publicly declared support for other Labour Party members accused of anti-Semitism, including former MP Chris Williamson and Jackie Walker.

A Labour Party spokesperson said it could not comment on individual complaints but "takes all complaints of anti-Semitism extremely seriously and they are fully investigated in line with our rules and procedures".

Satire. 

He didn't like that. You can't use it back at him. Only he is aloud to chat absolute 'wham'. He'll get his Lawyer involved if you carry on highlighting what a complete fucking hypocrite he is. 

 

 

Good to see Labour have acted in this case. There is no room for racism or anti-semitism in the Labour party (or anywhere)

You'll have to explain to me how overt racism and satirical photoshops of politicians are remotely similar, to the extent that someone is a "complete fucking hypocrite" for opposing one and being unbothered by the other.

You are a hypocrite. A massive one, I've rightly pointed that out for years on here. 

 

Nelly was clearly being sarcastic. Something you quite evidently can't handle.

Funny how his sarcasm only ever goes one way.

 

The question has to be, when I bump all the Swinson photoshops in the Lib Dem thread, are you going to admit they're libellous too, or will common sense be applied?

Bump them and I'll make a decision on a case by case basis. 

 

Thanks.

I still can't believe that that Councillor settled for a satirical, non-libellous tweet. He'll no doubt recoup his losses when he brings a professional negligence claim

action against his solicitors for their duff advice, though. So, it's not all bad for him. 

If I'm honest here, I'm surprised he's had to pay a settlement. Corbyn has had far far far worse said by blue ticks with far far far more followers and it doesn't appear they have had any action take against them.

True. But failing to take action against some others doesn't diminish from the libellous nature of what the Councillor posted.

i'm annoyed that Corbyn sucked up some horrendous shit when he was in a position to do massive good , and is now suing some nonentity over a shit joke when it doesn't matter.

Maybe he was advised not too as it 'wouldn't look good'?

It certainly would have stemmed some of the vitriol that came his way?

Maybe he just wasnt aware it would get that bad?

It was certainly unusual he only revealed himself to be a huge racist once he became labour leader.

Why don't you explain it to me, then. Nobody else has been able to.

Nickerson's oh-so-hilarious photoshop makes no sense other than promulgating the defamatory lies about Corbyn supporting terrorists and laying wreaths for them. These libels are so pernicious, that there are even numpties on football forums who believe they're true.

 

Cold War Steve depicts stuff like politicians hanging around derelict shopping precincts with The Krankies and a pissed Phil Mitchell. Nobody is expected to believe that there is a grain of truth in these.

I find this special pleading quite tedious, so all I'll say is that I can tell you haven't looked at any Cold War Steve stuff for a very long time.
