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. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7965301.html |

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

If Labour were anti-Semitic I couldn't and wouldn't support them, so although stuff like this makes me pissed at the Labour party, it only makes me pissed because they don't seem to understand due diligence.

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

Geez, the Guardian has a picture of a Haredi ultra orthodox Jew above its headline. It just goes to show how crap mainstream journalism is these days.
Edited to add: Its good to see the Jewish community correcting this journalist in the comments section.

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

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.
