Yes you did, do I feel that makes you slightly biased....yes.
The 'cut and paste job' is an effective way, short of finding Mr Pickles and requesting a taped interview of posting information to the forum.
Of course I don't feel that it's excusable for offensive comments to be tweeted or stated by a representative of a political party, but the suggestion of late that it is somehow institutionally endemic within Labour and it's members is ridiculous.
As you have highlighted yourself my feeling is the antisemitic accusations are a ruse by the anticorbynites, as in it's nothing more than a tool to create a public backlash at this left leaning Labour leader.
I do not feel comfortable that antisemetism is being used in this way.
