I’m in the middle of reading ‘Bad News for Labour’, which I bought at a fringe meeting during Labour Party Conference. The expected booklaunch at Waterstones in Brighton had been cancelled at the last minute, as the management had been ‘got at’ by the Zionist lobby. Despite being based on extensive academic research, it’s written in accessible language. It’s a gripping and useful read for all of us engaged in the struggle against spurious accusations of anti-semitism in the Labour Party.
It’s a book I intend to read – it looks very impressive from this review and I have read Greg Philo before and thought his work was very valuable. Just one sad query – five male contributors??? Don’t women have views – and expertise – on these issues?
Brilliant book. Put a lot of things in context for me. I thought the timeline in the last chapter was very useful at it showed just how powerful and misguided the media is! I think every Labour Party member needs to read this book in order to understand the truth of our ‘so called’ problem.
The silence of the media on both the book and the Brighton threats is yet more evidence of that media’s venality and culpability in this scam. The resultant distortions put another nail in the coffin of the UK’s status as an advanced democracy with a ‘free’ press.
Such is the level of the level of the ‘courage’ of investigative journalism amongst what is largely an Oxbridge clique that editors, including those of the ‘liberal’ Guardian and the Oh-So-Bravely-Satirical ‘Eye” will run a mile rather than risk crossing the ‘non-existent’ Israel Lobby. Mum’s the word despite the evidence that even an amateur would trip over.
