Thank you for the explanation, understand better now. I think the original poster was asking a question about Labour and the subject matter and was concerned with that because he did not understand. To be honest that is exactly where I was/am. As I have said, I never saw any of it but as you said certainly some were upset, maybe because of those naughty media people Andrew talks about so much.aggi wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 4:02 pmI've been pretty consistent in saying both are bad and the "we're not as bad as them" on both sides of the debate is a terrible justification for these things.
My point was that a lot of people seemed to be upset by anti-semitism in the Labour party but not upset by the Islamophobia in the Tory party (and actively tried to talk it down). If someone is upset by one but not the other then either they don't care about Islamophobia or they're just jumping on the anti-semitism thing because they don't like Labour and are looking for an excuse (which was my point about it not making much difference).
There are plenty of examples of people highlighting one whilst talking down the other both on here (for instance the poster who started this thread) and in the real world.
Since I didn't see Labour I also did not see the Tory counter issue except from here and from BJ's letterbox comment plus of course the naughty media people. What I have not seen and if it is there I apologize as am just saying I have not seen anything regarding party mutiny, Panarama and whistleblowers from in the Tory party. However, I have no doubt so are opposed and have made noises. Just meaning to the point of possibly going to court, having to make apologies plus compensation in the public eye.
Regardless, I agree it wont help them in any meaningful way at the voting and was in no way why they lost the election but it is the right move and a tiny step in repairing the tarnished vision a lot of the electorate have of the labour party through JC's reign, which cost many voters.
