The BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg has been assigned a security detail at the Labour party conference following online abuse, reports suggests.

Ms Kuenssberg, who is the first woman to lead the BBC's political coverage, will be accompanied by bodyguards while reporting on Labour events during the four-day conference in Brighton, which started on Sunday.

The corporation also decided to bolster Ms Kuenssberg's protection during the general election in June after she faced threats over alleged bias in her reporting about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. She was also accused of partiality by supporters of the Conservatives and Ukip.

i bet Corbyn regrets making them now

No threats are acceptable, regardless of what your political leaning is and everyone should be able to go about their business without fear of physical assault.
As for Kuenssberg, she is a sneering poor quality, often biased journalist who is not only hated by the Left but by UKIP and the Tories too, but none of these people hate her more than Trump.

That being said, I think its right that the BBC are erring on the side of caution.

she is a singularly obnoxious piece of work. Can't stand her.

Surely not - according to some there is no such thing as a hard-left thug. Just a figment of the 'right wings' imagination.

Oh come on! there are many anti-zionist Jews in the Labour party or supporting the Labour party.

As for Laura Kuenssberg, its got nothing to do with being Jewish and all to do with her vile and biased slant on leftwing politics. I didn't even know she was Jewish until you wrote the above line, so I went off and researched her background. She was and this should be noted; promoted to a position of political editor by none other than pro-Israel/pro-Zionist/pro-activist James Harding's.

The fact she needed bodyguards because she doesnt support the labour party doesnt bode well for the population if they come to power.

The conference hosted a speaker who supported holocaust denial, while an event at the conference compared Israel to Nazi Germany.

And they have strongly apologised. It turns out that speaker is Jewish so imagine how alarmed and surprised they were when Israeli born Jew, Miko Peled, started going on about freedom of speech and included speak about hollocaust denial.

Maybe they should do some research into their speakers.

There is a line between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism,” ISCOR junior Hilary Cohen said. “Peled has crossed that line. One can criticize Israel without using anti-Semitic rhetoric. Yes, absolutely; they should do some research and clearly they have to take responsibility for not doing that.

I agree, especially when modern Labour is already tarred with the brush of anti-Semitism. You'd think every speaker or prominent person who'd been invited would be checked out, if Labour cared.

Many Jewish people all over the world are anti-Zionist. You don't have to be Jewish to be Zionist and being anti-Zionist doesn't make you anti-Jew... Zionism is not antisemitism.

I, for example, am anti-Zionist. I have nothing against the Jewish faith or the people who practice that faith but my support for an apartheid in the name of religion doesn't exist.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I wonder if its the fact that Jewish people tend to have a good income and decent standard of living that makes them a target for labour?

The paper with the least Left/Right slant is probably The Independent.

It doesn't matter who reports events, the anti-Semitism shouldn't be there to be reported.

But its not about anti-Semitism, its about Zionism.
Those few people who made anti-Jewish comments are long gone. They were zapped, sacked... got rid of.

And neither should anti-Islam. No religion should be demonized.

Then I guess it's lucky there is no Anti-islam in mainstream politics.

Have you not seen who is in the White House lately? Did Jo Cox's murder pass you by? Not seen the latest German election polls?

There's a massive anti-islamic slant in a lot of western countries' politics and it will only become more extreme.

Don't you listen to world affairs?

Each year the UK government gives £billions (not millions) to Israel and a similar amount in arms. This is so the Zionists can wipe out the Islamists.

In 2016 the U.S. Finalized a deal to Give Israel $38 Billion in Military Aid. This was so the Zionists could wipe out the Islamists.

We are very openly aiding Israel to wipe out what's left of Palestine and that is what Jeremy Corbyn is against. The problem is, many people don't understand the difference between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism... they believe its the same thing and so when Labour make anti-Zionist speeches, the Right use those speeches as anti-Jew rhetoric from the Left-wing party and you know what? people fall for it again and again because what they haven't learned and probably don't want to learn is, the British and American governments are the biggest Zionists on this planet.

You mean the same way we give arms to the Saudis?
