So I was thinking. If I ever say that Corbyn is an antisemite, I generally get one of three responses. 1) Yeah, but Palestine. 2) He can’t be. He’s a man of principles. He’s fought racism all his life. 3) Lalalalalalalalalala can’t hear you. We need to get rid of the Tories.
And I generally say the same thing. Actually, I don’t care about him. I care about him about as much as he cares about me. It doesn’t matter whether he’s antisemitic. It doesn’t matter cos he’s an enabler.
What does that mean?
I am, what My Fine Wife calls, an enabler. I support her in her endeavours. I provide support. I help create an environment where she can be what she wants to be. It’s a lovely thing to be called.
The reason I mention this isn’t just to point out that I’m a lovely bloke – though possibly talking about that would be more interesting than banging on about Corbyn again, but… What can I do?
So far what we’ve learnt is that seemingly every day there’s another thing, another racist crawls out of the pit Labour’s descended into. Today is the turn of Peter Willsman, the secretary of The Campaign for Labour Democracy, and this is the story that greeted us today.
So, swiftly moving on from the question of whether or not I’m a Trump fanatic in the pay of Mossad, what does it mean? And how does it relate to the question of whether or not Corbyn is an anti-Semite?
Well, it doesn’t matter what Corbyn thinks. And we don’t know what Corbyn thinks because he never actually says anything. Or if he does say something, he doesn’t follow it up with an action, so the words are empty and meaningless.
But by saying nothing and doing nothing, Corbyn has become an enabler. He enables people like Mary Lockhart (yesterday) and Peter Willsman (today) to be in a safe environment where their rubbish racism to flourish.
By the way, the answer to the three responses is 1) You’re also a racist, 2) I’m not so impressed by principles. Thatcher had principles, wasn’t too keen on her either, 3) Hang about a minute. I’m just going to ask that turkey what he thinks of Christmas.
