There shouldn't be anyone left in public office who thinks language like that is acceptable. I'm always shocked when someone seemingly intelligent blurts out a phrase like this. However, before Labour get all bent out of shape about it, I would remind them of the fact that anti-Semitic language was used by them, and they got Sharmi Chakrabarti to say there was nothing to see... and made her a dame to say thank you.
