The United Kingdoms fourth largest party suspended a candidate for mayor of London who was filmed in 1997 telling voters not to support a Jew.
The Liberal Democrats suspended Geeta Sidhu-Robb, who was vying to become their candidate in Londons 2021 mayoral elections, the Jewish News of London reported.
Over the weekend, a video emerged on Twitter showing her during her 1997 general election campaign for the constituency of Blackburn in northern England. In that campaign, Sidhu-Robb was running as a member of the Conservative Party against Jack Straw, a former Labour lawmaker.
Dont vote for a Jew. Jack Straw is a Jew. If you vote for him youre voting for a Jew, Sidhu-Robb is seen saying in Urdu into a loudspeaker in Blackburn.

Yeah, don’t vote for a Jew... and the citizens of London listened and elected a Muslim instead!

I dont know her nationality, but she was yelling in Urdu, which is the language of Pakistan and also spoken by Muslims in India.
So, I can guess pretty accurately.

This in the UK, so don’t guess this is the Jack Straw that was from Wichita.

I am surprised. Given the resurgence of virulent antisemitism in Europe and England I was expecting them to crown her Mayor/Queen.

Nosh has a rather more modern meaning in London.
While it can refer to getting a light bit of food, its more commonly used to describe a Lewinsky.

In the video, taken from a documentary about the 1997 elections, Sidhu-Robb explains that she decided on this tactic because her rivals campaign staffers were saying shes against Islam, making the issue racist, its making it personal.She is an Indian born in Malawi. I see that multiculturalism is working out well for the U.K.
To: Jewbacca
That’s funny. So in London I probably shouldn’t ask a woman if she want’s to go for a nosh.
