There was an interesting article in the London Evening Standard recently about last week’s demonstration by British Jews and their supporters against the increasing levels of naked Jew hatred that exist in Britain’s Labour Party. The problem of hostility to one of Britain’s more peaceful minority religious groups by Labour members, is not, as some Labour supporters may say, an issue of a few nutcases, it is now something that has become embedded into the modern Labour Party’s psyche. Under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, a man who never seems to find an Islamic extremist or Israel-hater he doesn’t like, Labour is no longer a party where Jew and Gentile march together in common cause with the ordinary working people. Instead, Labour now represents all that is bad about the intolerant and hateful Left and I’m surprised that decent Labour types such as Frank Field continue to stay members of this increasingly untrustworthy party.

One person who is likely to run into serious trouble because of the changes in the Labour Party over recent decades is Wes Streeting, the Member of Parliament for Ilford North, a constituency to the East of London. Mr Streeting is the epitome of the New Labour type of candidate, young, gay, a background in student politics and local government and also a man with a naïve enthusiasm for multiculturalism. He won the Ilford North seat from the Tories, partly, it is rumoured because local Muslims agitated for him to win, with Islamic ‘community leaders’ allegedly running a bit of a dirty campaign against the former Conservative MP Lee Scott. It must be said at this point that this dirty campaign was not organised by Mr Streeting, but it has been claimed to have been undertaken by ‘community leaders’, in a seat that has become increasingly Islamised and by those who see Labour as the best party to advance Islamic interests. In any event, Labour in Ilford North are, to a significant extent, now dependent on the Muslim bloc vote to hold on to the seat and it is suspected that this bloc vote helped turn this seat into a marginal Labour gain and then into a safe Labour seat.

Whilst I applaud Wes Streeting for standing up against the Jew hatred in Labour, his appearance at the demonstration has, according to the Evening Standard, brought calls for his de-selection from members of the hard Left Momentum group. This group really laid into Mr Streeting for stepping up and calling out the anti-Semitic nature of today’s Labour Party.

The Evening Standard said:

A Labour MP who joined a rally against anti-Semitism in the party has said he and his colleagues have faced a “torrent of abuse” and been accused of mounting a personal attack on Jeremy Corbyn.

Ilford North MP Wes Streeting and other Labour MPs who attended Monday’s march on Parliament have also received deselection threats over their show of support for the Enough is Enough campaign.

Online trolls, who claim to be supporters of Labour and Jeremy Corbyn, have bombarded Mr Streeting and his colleagues who attended the rally with messages accusing them of using anti-Semitism as a “political football” and to “smear” the Labour leader.

But Mr Streeting has hit back at critics and said they are “not calling for a leadership contest, we’re just calling for leadership” on the issue.

I must admit I’ve seen this ‘you’re attacking the leader’ rhetoric before from the Corbynite cultists, when ever their Commie guru is questioned or criticised. It no longer washes with me or with anyone else who understands just what has gone wrong with the Labour Party. The issue of Jew hatred in the Labour Party and Corbyn’s unwillingness to do anything about it is probably because a) he has sympathy for some of the positions taken by these Jew haters and b) Labour needs the votes of the large number of Muslims who hold views about Jews that would not be out of place in Nuremberg, Germany in 1936. It was also, in my opinion, extremely naïve of Mr Streeting to appeal for ‘leadership’ from Corbyn and his team on the issue of Jew hatred in Labour, as examination of Corbyn’s record over many years shows that he is unlikely to do anything about it.

From what I’ve seen of Mr Streeting’s political career, he appears to me to be a man who tries too hard to walk along the top of a narrow fence in an effort to seem relevant to all the people all the time. He has for example, along with another Labour MP Stephen Kinnock, received criticism for hobnobbing around with groups like Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND), an entity that has known and well publicised links to extremists. Whilst I appreciate Mr Streeting’s appearance at last week’s anti-Jew hate in the Labour Party demonstration, I can’t help but feel that he has been naïve in the extreme in consorting with groups like MEND and his explanation for this meeting as relayed by the Jewish Chronicle, drips with arse-covering. If Mr Streeting is serious about the idea of everyone getting along together, then he should have kept groups like MEND at arm’s length. I have little doubt that the more cynical among you may think that he knows he needs Muslim votes to keep him in his seat and that maybe this was behind him currying favour with MEND?

I believe that by standing up for a group that is both maligned and viciously hated by the Muslims that now make up Labour’s core vote, could bring Wes Streeting some considerable trouble. Momentum and their Islamic extremist allies have already unseated Sir Robin Wales, the Mayor of the neighbouring London Borough of Newham and it’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that a similar thing could happen to Wes Streeting. After all Ilford North is now a safe Labour seat and the increasing Islamisation that is occurring in Ilford and the wider borough of Redbridge could mean it stays that way. If that is the case, then Wes Streeting may find his equivocation and his support for those whom the Koran and the Hadith counsel to kill, may see him replaced with someone much more to the liking of the Labour / Islam alliance that has control in the constituency. For his attempt to speak out against Labour Jew hatred, Wes Streeting could find himself out of a job at the next election and ironically he would be in this position because of the very same Islamic bloc vote that allegedly helped Mr Streeting to win the seat in the first place. There is a strong possibility that Islamisation in Redbridge could see Mr Streeting replaced by a Muslim picked for the seat by local Islamic ‘community leaders’ and if that happens, life for Ilford North’s remaining Jews, Christians, Hindus and Sikhs, could, as it has in other areas where Islam has taken over, become much more unpleasant and nasty than it is at present.

What we have seen happening in Labour over recent decades is its transformation from being a workers’ party, a party that fought for equal opportunities for all, into an Islam Party that cares for nothing and nobody else but Muslims. Labour have betrayed its traditional base by doing this and if Wes Streeting is surprised at the reaction he’s got from the far left / Islamists who now run the Party then he is both naïve and a fool.
