Leading Tory forced to apologise for anti-Semitic remarks
JVL Introduction
Conservative deputy leader of Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council has been forced to apologise for likening Labour candidate Dan Ozarow, who is Jewish, to Hitler.
In February we reported his comments on the “vicious, libellous racist smear campaign against me by Hertsmere Conservatives or their supporters”.
We are delighted that he has received an official apology – and that a police investigation continues into the election campaign where Ozarow was variously labelled as a self-hating and disgusting Jew, a supporter of Hezbollah and told to go to the gas chambers.

No withhunt against Parnell or criticism from BoD et al?? She got off far too lightly.
Why is this not headline news in all the papers? It seems the Tories get a free pass when it comes to publicising such events, where is the so called antisemitism tzar, surely he should be calling this out vociferously surely?
Cannot fully understand why the Party did not confront these libels and slanderous allegations. A task force alongside the PLP whips should have dealt with this – including expedient legal action.
This stuff gained no holds barred, culminating as far as a slander on the whole of the Membership as well as those who voted Labour, when the B.o.D Head Rabbi and Arch Bish. Cantab. joined forces to state that we would be ‘threatening the very soul of the Nation if we voted Labour’. That’s akin to the Pope threatening to excommunicate anyone who votes communist in Italy! Aiming submit my thoughts wrt all this mucky stuff via a response to the LabourTogether G.E. Review, advise others to do so.
This is a start but agree that this ‘apology’ is insufficient. It was a vile, nasty antisemitic campaign and heads should roll. Too often Conservatives get away with this, double standards where they are concerned.
Oberman, Collier, JP, BOD, Riley, Baddeil, Robinson, Seeth, Berger, et all.
Why the silence?
Cat got your tongue?
I despair thay only JVL seems to have highlighted this. Nothing on the news channels, though if it were Labour’s guilt it would’ve no doubt been headlines for days.
Now this.
