Brookshtine is talking sense there.

Eeeeek.

Hopefully he sues her, and the t-shirt sites using the unlicensed image.

[aRdja]

The right are jumping on this at the moment. Looks like she might be in hot water over this.

 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

She denies any anti-Semitic intent. (A generous person could go along with that: after all, there's no mention of Jews or  Jewishness in her tweet - and 2012, before the smears and witchhunts,  was a less hypersensitive time.)

‘Made a gag about gassing Jews’

 

Okay, what exactly did she say?

[Strontium]

"Some man I just met thought I was Israeli so I cracked the 10 lost tribes of Israel joke to him and he got gassed"

[aRdja]

(S)he’s picked it up too.

Was the man a Jew or an Israeli? I dunno the joke being referenced. If it’s not what she said in her statement then I simply don’t get it. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Looks like a joke to me about jews being gassed, her excuse sounds pure bullshit. 

[aRdja]

Apparently she uses that term a lot... I lived in London for four years but I’m not overly familiar with it if I’m honest.

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

Apparently she is pretty fuckin thick if she used it in that context - regardless of anything else

Possibly neither Jewish or Israeli.

 

It's a bit of a stretch to call her anti-Semitic on the basis of one clumsily-worded tweet in 7 years, but these days that's all the evidence the witch-hunters need.

I think Labour should consider withdrawing her just to be on the safe side.

It would be utterly unjust, but it might be necessary to get people talking about stuff that actually matters.

[Strontium]

It looks more like an unfortunate turn of phrase to me than anything sinister.

[Bjornebye]

Thats a horrendous tweet no excuse for it.

Possibly but not something Labour would want to deal with this close to the election I’d imagine. Withdrawing her looks the simplest solution.

[moof]

“Gassed” is a pretty common expression, in the context she lays out it seems plausible to me. Any other evidence of her being antisemitic or making inappropriate jokes or statements? If not, move along nothing to see here

[moof]

Btw the Lee Kern fella Ardja linked to is an unhinged lunatic in the true sense of the term. Swivel eyed bastard

It’s an extremely common term, widely used

[Bobby Hundreds]

I've only ever heard to term gassed used as something else to mean tired. Maybe it was unintentional I don't know but it really does look like a bad racist joke.
