Jews in the UK suffer abuse

Harry comments on reports of the rise of anti-semitic attacks in the UK, this should not be surprising considering the behaviour of judenhass Mayor Comrade Ken. Even Pollard has finally seen the error of his ways and has called for his removal. I am not the slighest bit surprised considering the company he keeps.

Of course, the Kuwatis continue to spread lies about Jews and Ben Franklin.

Update: Despite the outrage of Jewish groups and London Assembly members (well except the Labour ones) Ken refuses to apologise for his remarks and things he is quite right to have said it. Labour in London claims he has a good record on racism; guess they don’t consider Jew-hatred to be racist.

UpdateII: Brownie believes the Kengate episode is a storm in a teacup, as does David T, however Harry to his credit agrees with much of the rest of us that it is a very big deal. Peter has posted on the subject as well. Expect a post from our own Jon Hyman in the next few days.

One does have to wonder if some of Ken’s hatred for the Daily Mail revolves around the fact it employs arch-Zionist Melanie Philips. Norm has weighed in on the issue, as you would expect. Boris, on the other hand, supports Ken, with tongue firnly in cheek methinks.

London Eye in the DT has further interesting bits on Ken’s behaviour. This is particularily interesting.

In the wake of his comments likening a Jewish Evening Standard journalist to a concentration camp guard, Livingstone has already faced charges of hypocrisy. The Mayor of London claimed that Associated Newspapers had conducted a hate campaign against him, despite taking its shilling as a restaurant reviewer not so long ago.

Now I hear of a similar incident from Carina Trimingham, a Sky News correspondent in the 1990s.

“I was covering the Labour conference in Brighton in 1991 and asked if he’d comment on the leader’s speech. All he said, in a reference to News International, was: ‘Sorry, I don’t collaborate with Nazis’, and walked away. I was therefore all the more surprised when he started writing a column for the Sun just a few weeks later.”

    As an aside, he doesn’t seem to have noticed the contradiction between hosting an event celebrating homosexuality and his love-in with Muslim groups who would execute homosexuals given the chance. Mind you, he does bend over for them…

    I also object to paying for such an absurd party.

    I have seen that at least male-male interactions are considered acceptable in the muslim communities I have been in… of course, only if they do not yet have a wife. Not sure how widespread that is…

    Doesn’t the News International story kind of validate Brownie’s point?
