    Don't worry the EHRC about anti semitism report about labour anti semitism has been publicised this morning and already Keir Kneeler has called it a "a day of shame for labour", reported everywhere else, i'm sure that that the BBC will catch up soon.

    Can't wait for the left's response to this one.

    It is tragic, terribly tragic when lives of any ages are cut short in such awful circumstances.
    In my humble opinion the French authorities could and should be doing an awful lot more to prevent any such boats leaving French shores and should be looking at re-settling the migrants elsewhere in Europe, or even France! Especially as we are about to leave the EU.
    There's also the 'why are they coming here' bit. I am assuming most of the asylum seekers are from poor backgrounds, escaping civil war, persecution and such like and possibly have had little or no education. So they probably don't fully understand what is happening with the likes of Covid, Brexit, and most importantly the huge amount of danger that their proposed voyages will mean to themselves, when they are at least relatively safe in France.
    The French could also do more by holding education talks in the various camps to warn people of the possibly outcomes, and prevent the risks being taken. But it's probably not in their political interests to do so when we can foot the bill for those who do make it.
    The way I see it, this is France's responsibility all the way through.

    Me I blame the EU and especially Smerkal for what is happening, she opened the floodgates.

    I lived in France for 16 years, most people in the UK have no grasp of the problems that France faces. From it's colonial past it has a huge muslim population and 10 years ago publicly admitted to having 4 million illegal muslim immigrants living in France, however privately they know it almost certainly between 10 and 15 million. They don't have the political will to stop this migrants attempting to cross the channel and in a way who could blame them?

    I think that on an earlier post I paraphrased a speech by the mayor of Sangat in France (where the notorious transit camp was) back in 2002 he said that the UK had to understand why migrants were shunning multiple safe haven borders to get to the UK, it certainly wasn't for our climate that's for sure and I think the main reason is obvious and the fact that by his own admission Mandelson and Blair were actively encouraging it didn't help.

    I see that Stormer was asked multiple times if he was going to expel his predecessor and his best reply was, Corbyn wasn't actually personally named in the report.

    I get it
    The Algerian civil war also took a direct toll on France in the years since it happened as the ex colony saw Islamic extremists being allowed to travel restriction free in and out of both countries. I'm sure that the ongoing terror attacks by ex Chechen and various other Islamic states inhabitants adds to the growing sense of unrest all over. However I do like that the French are often bloody minded when it comes to sticking to their principles and rightful sense of outrage after the last but one attack where the unfortunate teacher was beheaded.
    I worked in France 5 days a week for a year back in 2004/2005, commuting every week from Bristol to Paris/Grenoble. It's a country I'm very fond of but it's changed a lot over the past few years as racial and political tensions rise.

    https://news.sky.com/story/jeremy-corbyn-suspended-from-labour-party-12117833

    Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been suspended from the parliamentary Labour party and has had the whip removed.

    A party spokesman said: "In light of his comments made today and his failure to retract them subsequently, the Labour Party has suspended Jeremy Corbyn pending investigation. He has also had the whip removed from the Parliamentary Labour Party."

    I agree the decision to not allow religious items to be worn in their classrooms came about because teachers, said in certain inner schools ethnic French children were becoming marginalised. But to be fair to them they banned all religious items even crucifixes.

    I like the way they banned the burkha in public areas, branded racist by many in the UK.

    Many Brits are unaware of the way the French deal/dealt with travellers especially Roma's.

    Firstly when travellers are moved on they properly clear up that site, because they can have their vehicles and caravans confiscated and even crushed and face repatriation as well.

    When Sarkozi was president, he warned the Romas, who hold a huge gathering in Southern France that anymore escalation of violence, especially that directed at the police and military would be dealt with with an iron fist and he was true to his word after rioting/trashing a village and hospitalising police officers and military personnel, 40,000 were rounded up country wide, their vehicles and caravans crushed and flown back to whence they came.

    And in an ironic twist of lefty hypocrisy, the next French president Hollande, who reviled Sarkozi for his racist actions, quickly did the same to 35,000 more Romas.

    OMG.

    Well he's lost the left now and they ain't going to go quietly, because they control pretty much everything within the party, especially policy.

    They also come from countries that possibly speak English as a second language.

    Agreed but they should be told of the perils and an update on the general state of the world by an interpreter

    Well it's plastered everywhere. And my case it literally is plastered everywhere unlike yours :emoticon-0148-yes:.

    Being suspended purely for his response is a bit ridiculous in itself, but if it cleans anti-semitism out of the party then it's obviously worth it. They've been a shambles. Can't quite imagine Boris doing the same thing over the Islamophobia in his party mind can you?

    Let me explain, when you go onto the BBC news page you are automatically on to the HOMEPAGE, like with your original Rashford post it was not there at the time of my posting this morning.

    Now I could have either hit the UK link or used the search facility and found it but that would have been contrary to your rules, where it has to be on the HOMEPAGE or doesn't exist.

    More use of your mystic imagination?

    Of course you may be correct, but this is the Equality & Human Rights Commission an independent organisation and Corbyn has from the outset accused them of not being impartial (much like the title of this thread) and it is 'alleged' that under his leadership and since he has refused to engage. So I suspect it's a reaction to the whole issue not just his response today. But I suspect it won't end here.

    Anyway talking about imagination, my imagination tells me that there will be over the coming weeks demonstrations by the left (they love a good demo) and several prominent Corbyn supporters seeing how far they can push Starmer on this issue with more inflammatory sound bytes as the labour party continues to eat itself from the inside out.

    Haha give me a break. All the way through this I was always referring to the BBC News homepage, not the UK link. If something is "plastered everywhere", you'd expect it to be there right?

    Agreed.

    The EHRC report found Labour responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination over anti Semitism. It cites 'serious failings in the Labour Party leadership in addressing anti Semitism and an inadequate process for handling anti Semitism complaints.

    The "Leader" presiding over that has to take accountability. The person suspended for his response is that Leader.

    Yeah I don't argue against that one bit. I obviously haven't read the full report, but if that's what it says then that's what it says. But he's been suspended over the reaction itself, which seems daft to me.

    His reaction was to state the issue was exaggerated.

    I am sure this is not over his reaction but his attitude since the enquiry began, the man is in total denial and so are his fan club.

    The report found Labour responsible for three breaches of the Equality Act:
    • Political interference in anti-Semitism complaints
    • Failure to provide adequate training to those handling anti-Semitism complaints
    • Harassment
    Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has suspended Jeremy Corbyn from the party over his reaction to a highly critical report on anti-Semitism.
    The human rights watchdog found Labour responsible for "unlawful" harassment and discrimination during Mr Corbyn's years in charge of the party.
    But Mr Corbyn later said the scale of anti-Semitism within Labour had been "dramatically overstated".
    Labour said he was being suspended "for a failure to retract" his words.
    Mr Corbyn reacted by calling the move "political" and promised to "strongly contest" it.


    He has been suspended because of his own reaction and self denial, he is running true to his own treacherous form.
