I saw recently a letter from a man resigning from the Labour Party after 17 years of active and involved membership over at the Reaction blog and it sums up a great deal about what has gone wrong with the UK Labour Party. The writer, who Reaction said had to remain anonymous due to fears of harassment at work for resigning from the Labour Party, talks about his long service to the party, how he’d been a member since he was a student and how much the Labour Party had been part of his life.

He said that at times, such as over the issue of the Iraq War, he had had disagreements with Labour Party policy. Although he had ethical misgivings about what will probably be called New Labour’s War by historians, he stuck with the party as he believed that Labour was the best chance of advancing the cause of the British working class.

He added that he was disgusted by the turn that the Labour Party took when Jeremy Corbyn became leader and the way the party turned into an ‘anti British and anti-Semitic party’. He berates himself for not having the courage to leave Labour over the Corbyn issue but felt that there was still something in the party worth saving.

He said: “I have justified not resigning hitherto on the basis that good people needed to stay inside to try to influence the party in a more positive direction once Corbyn had gone. It is now clear to me that there is no realistic path to moral and political recovery for the Labour Party, short of a miracle. The majority of its members are now hysterical, anti-patriotic conspiracy theorists drunk on a toxic brew of quasi-totalitarianism, divisive and hateful identity politics, and contempt for the ordinary working-class people that the Labour Party historically existed to represent. Most (though not all) trade unions have become totally disconnected from the views and interests of their members and the electorate: they will not save us. Keir Starmer is powerless against these structural forces, even if he wanted to defeat them (which is doubtful). The problems are so deep-rooted that I doubt that any Labour leader can resist them.  They’re not just a part or fringe of the Labour Party: they are the Labour Party.”

It’s difficult to disagree with his assessment of the current state of the Labour Party. It is indeed stuffed full of anti-nation types along with many others who hold to bizarre conspiracy theories -usually about Jews and Israel it needs to be said – those who favour totalitarianism and the supporters of divisive and destructive identity politics. His comments about the Trade Unions are also a blow to those of us who believed that there might be a possibility for the Unions to take back the party and drive out the lunatics. The writer’s assessment of the Unions as being as remote from their members as the Labour Party is from working class voters, is also sadly correct.

The writer added:

“Firstly, the majority within the Labour Party has a more-or-less open contempt towards the British electorate, democracy and the rule-of-law. This was dramatically made clear by the disastrous and unforgivable decision to support an attempt to overturn the democratic will of the British people to leave the European Union by endorsing a second referendum.”

Well said there! Many people, including many who had voted for Brexit, looked with utter disgust upon the sight of Labour MP’s and members eagerly wanting to overturn the Referendum and keep us chained to the EU even though a great many working class voters chose Brexit. This disgraceful interlude opened a lot of people’s eyes to how Labour had been taken over by the Metro-Left and supine enthusiasts for the European Union.

The writer castigates Labour for its snobbish and dismissive attitude to the bulk of working class Britons who used to vote Labour and who might have voted Labour again had not the middle class Left continually and vehemently sneered at them. On this issue the writer says:

Labour loses election after election because it treats the views of its diminishing band of core voters – and those of millions of swing voters – with disdain and contempt. For example, voters who felt that immigration on an unprecedented and extraordinary historical scale threatened to undermine their wages were (and are) ridiculed and mocked, or condemned as racist. Patronising liberals from London sneered at the idea that a reserve army of labour consisting of hundreds of millions of people might have some impact on wages. The truth was that they were more worried about the prospect of having to pay their cleaners and nannies higher wages than the interests of Britain’s construction workers, carers and rural poor.

I can’t disagree with this statement either. There’s always been a class divide in the UK, sometimes it breaks down such as during World War II when all Britons no matter what their class were under threat. Sadly the class difference has re-emerged and reasserted itself in the form of a middle class liberal/left class that looks down on Britain’s working classes. Excessive numbers and inappropriate types of immigration have damaged the UK and the bulk of that damage has fallen on the working class. The writer points out that excessive immigration has put the working class in a much poorer economic position than they would have been had such levels of immigration not occurred but I would like to add that it has damaged the working classes in other ways as well. Whole areas which were once inhabited by British working class members, areas like Dagenham for example, were changed almost overnight by an influx of migrants encouraged here by government policies, mostly Labour ones, that nobody specifically voted for. In the space of less than a decade in parts of East London and West Essex where Dagenham is, changed beyond all recognition. Pubs, churches, synagogues and community centres closed to be replace by mosques, Halal food shops, shops catering to East Europeans and Africans and with the long established community centres turning their backs on Britons and directing their services not at the long standing British resident, but the new incomers.

The writer is correct that the Tristram’s and Jocasta’s who now control the Labour Party care more for their own ability to continue to belong to the foreign servant employing class than they do the British working class. It is these Tristram and Jocasta types who sneer and shout ‘racist’ at Britain’s working classes when they approach the party that was set up in the interests of the working class to voice their concerns about excessive immigration.

The writer mentions something that many other critics of the Labour Party have also said. This is that the party now looks like one that wants to ‘dissolve the people and elect a new one’.

On the subject of Jew hatred in the Labour Party the writer said:

Secondly, the Labour Party is still, despite the fact that Keir Starmer has, to be fair to him, made some effort to tackle the problem, infested with anti-Semitism. Our membership is a sewer of people who blame Israel for every single problem in the world, who are indifferent to the violence and Jew-hatred of Hamas, and who use dog-whistle (or not so dog-whistle) anti-Semitic phrases and tropes. There are still principled opponents of anti-Semitism in the party, but structurally Labour will not seriously challenge it because it knows that it if it were to do so, it risks alienating a considerable part of one of its last remaining loyal voter blocs: British Muslims. Not all British Muslims are anti-Semitic – there are principled and moderate people among them – but all the evidence shows that anti-Semitism is worryingly prevalent among that community. Indeed, recent events have shown that Labour is perfectly willing to use the sectarian divide-and-rule politics of inflaming hate between different ethnic groups if it is convenient. The issue of Palestine – a fringe issue of little interest to most British voters – is used as a way of dog-whistling to anti-semites. I am no supporter of the current policies of the Israeli government, but there is no question that opposition to the existence of Israel is used as a euphemistic way of signalling Jew-hatred by many on the modern left. Labour indulges this. It does not seriously challenge it.

Labour is indeed a sewer of Jew hatred the likes of which I’ve not seen since the National Front were stalking the streets of my childhood and adolescence. The issue of Islamic Jew hatred really does need to be tackled as it is something that is worryingly prevalent in Islamic communities, the problem is Labour don’t want to tackle it because it has become a party where Marxist Jew haters control too much of the party.

The writer is justifiably vehemently condemnatory about Labour’s embrace of identity politics. He said that the Middle Class Left that now run and dominate the party are not interested in the concerns of the broader working class. He said that they ignore the traditional working classes and have as their only concern issues that are important to ethnic minorities. He added that Labour seem to have thrown away the values of Martin Luther King Jr which is to judge a person on the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin and are now wholly concerned with a person’s immutable characteristics.

The letter writer comments that this sort of focus on race and ethnicity has not merely been a middle class left parlour game, it has had real world consequences in so far as it has caused the Labour Party to ignore the most oppressed and vulnerable people in the country and resulted in working class white boys being left behind and rape victims being judged according to the colour of their skin.

On this issue the writer said:

The racialisation of every problem to the exclusion of any other consideration has made the Labour Party totally indifferent to the problems faced by people who have the temerity not to fit into a minority ethnic identity category.

This has led to the disgusting, the revolting situation where the plight of some of the most vulnerable and underprivileged people in British society is totally ignored – or worse – by the Labour Party. The fact that white working-class boys have the worst educational and social outcomes is swept under the carpet because it is inconvenient. Far worse, fear of being accused of racism has led to Labour politicians and supporters totally ignoring – or worse, actively turning a blind eye to – the scandal of the rape and sexual abuse of teenage girls in care on the basis of the respective skin colours of the victims and perpetrators. When your ideology allows you to ignore the gang rape of children because it’s ‘inconvenient’, you have lost your moral compass totally and utterly.

In general the writer said that Labour has become a party of ‘lies’ that even lies about biology. It was he said a party that panders to extreme gender radicals even if it discomforts and disadvantages real working class women. He added that Labour by denying biological reality by claiming ‘transwomen are women’ are engaging in a form of modern day Lysenkoism. The writer is correct here. It’s quite possible to accept and support that very small number of those who are genuinely transsexual whilst still protecting genetic women, but Labour have not done that, they’ve pandered to extreme ‘out there’ gender radicals and given them whatever they’ve demanded. What’s worse is that Labour have told the rest of us in Britain that we must accept what the gender radicals demand.

The Labour Party used to be a home for the working classes, now it is as the writer says, a home for those with ‘luxury beliefs’, beliefs that are a world away from the concerns of Britain’s working classes. Sadly having observed the Labour Party for a very long time after I ceased voting for it I believe that the letter writer is correct. Labour don’t care about the workers, they are much more interested in caring about the Muslims, the migrants both legal and illegal, the wilder shores of the trans cult and just about anything, anything but the concerns of the working classes that is.

I applaud the letter writer for finally plucking up the courage to leave Labour. It has indeed become a cess pit. It must have been difficult for the writer to resign as so much of his life had been lived in and around the Labour Party and Labour party related activities. This man has done the right thing, he’s got out of a Labour Party that has ruined the country just as it has ruined itself. This man has a moral compass whereas the Labour Party now has none.
