Ken Livingstone says it's 'the end' for Jeremy Corbyn and blames 'Jewish vote'
The Mirror ^ | 13 Dec 2019 | Mikey Smith

Ken Livingstone said tonight's brutal election result is "the end" for Jeremy Corbyn - and appeared to blame "the Jewish vote" for contributing to the losses.

The former Labour MP and Mayor of London, said his friend and ally Jeremy Corbyn had paid the price for several aspects of his campaign, including not taking more action against anti-semitism.

"The Jewish vote wasn't very helpful," Mr Livingstone said

"Jeremy should have tackled that issue far earlier than he did.

"It looks like the end for Jeremy, which is disappointing for me since I'm a close ally. I'm sure he'll have to resign tomorrow."

While Mr Corbyn was criticised for Labour's radical election platform, Mr Livingstone said he would have preferred the party to have been even bolder.

UK dodged a serious bullet

For the moment. The anti-semitic left in Britain is just as tireless and driven as the anti-semitic left in the US.

Of course when I say anti-semitic and left together, I am purposefully being redundant.

Exactly. The Battle Never Ends. They will regroup. But Corbyn, frankly, was the best thing that happened to the Tories, since Thatcher.

Amazing. They put up rabidly anti-Semitic candidates and then they blame “the Jews” for not voting for the anti-Semitic candidates.

Yes, I do know about that and about 200 years later, England expelled ALL Jews and didn't allow any back in ( and permitted them to practice their religion openly ! ) until the the mid 17th century.

It was pretty bad, for Jews, in many European nations. Italy made them wear special clothing and made them all life in a walled section, away from Christians, that they called the "GHETTO".

I think things like that are why the Nazis must have thought to themselves, “What’s the big deal about what we’re doing?”

There has always been a residual anti-Semtic "vibe" in most of Europe and England; however, the Nazis based their scapegoating of Jews ( they also sent Commie, homos, the mentally retarded, Gypsies, and the deformed, to Concentration Camps, though ) on occult stuff and a crazy belief in the superiority of certain types of whites whom they mistakenly called Aryans. They got that Aryan stuff and the Swastika from ancient Hindu writings.

And they also based their theories on the Eugenics movement, so favored by the UK Fabian Socialists and Feminists.

American had their own Eugentic societies as well, but it wasn't quite as severe.

Not all Nazis were the same. I think Heydrich, for example, just saw it as a politically useful tool, and really didn’t believe all that stuff. That’s what made him really cold, and also why many Nazis didn’t shed a tear, when he was killed. Many even thought he had some Jewish blood.

Apparently the ‘Asian’ vote wasn’t very helpful either, wonder why he didn’t mention them? Maybe because the Jews might be upset with his comments while the ‘Asians’ would more likely try to cut off his head.

The bottom line is, Labour abandoned their working-class roots for Woke-ism.

Just as the Democratic Party abandoned their blue-collar constituents, which in the end, provided the opening Trump needed to win in 2016.

True, not all Naxos believed in all of the crazy stuff; however, most did. The whole nature thing was very big, so was the idealization of how superior Germanic people were... from ancient times, and such stuff.

Antisemitism - well in that case, thanks, Ken! Hate isn’t a sure fire winner.

Democrats will learn that lesson in the coming year.

Red Ken. Still a flaming anti-Semite, I see. Some things never change.

He did nothing of the sort.

He said that Corbyn should have addressed "anti-semitism" earlier in the campaign.

That's not "blaming".

Know why they call them LP?

Because they spin and spin and spin, but they belong in the 1970s.
