This troll of a union rep @EddieDempsey went on Sky to slag off @rabbisacks for being extreme right wing. He’s with the RMT, Rail Maritime and Transport Union. I wouldn’t trust him to drive a train on the tracks.

Here’s the video:#labourAntisemitism

That this racist thug thought that this was any kind of response is shocking. To the great consternation of my community we have seen the Leader of the Opposition outed as an antisemite. Yet all these supposed anti-racists in @UKLabour shout us down because alleged Tory slurs.2/9

They have such a tribal Manichaean view of this that if anyone not if their precise political shade calls foul against one of their troopers, they shout about their politics, bring in Israel and scream smear - anything but deal with the problem raised. 3/9

It’s the same w other aspects of his leadership. There is be no other way, there can be no criticism.

But this is not about other people’s political views. It’s about Corbyn’s racism. Which @EddieDempsey excuses by slagging off the former Chief @RabbiSacks. Because he can. 4/9

Now let me be clear, I was not a great fan of @rabbisacks chief rabbinate. But this is about honesty and racism. Lord Sacks is about as far from a racist as possible. He is a voice (albeit human and flawed) for moderation. And @EddieDempsey decided to play the man and lie. 5/9

Because @rabbisacks did not lead nor even attend the Jerusalem. There are no pictures of him doing so. It’s simply an expedient lie. Because that what @EddieDempsey does to political opponents. He lies and smears them. And then changes his story. Plausible deniability. 6/9

Here we have the organization that @RabbiSacks went with telling Eddie that it’s not true. And Eddies response is to change the smear. Here is Mizrachi’s tweet denying @EddieDempsey’s smear.

A real man would have apologised. But this is Corbynism. 7/9

Here we’ve @EddieDempsey’s “new improved“ smearing of @rabbisacks. This is the contemptible face of @UKLabour and Corbynism. Any lie is acceptable to smear opponents if you’re an extremist, and he won’t take responsibility and apologise.
Means & ends.
