This is really the world of 1984 when the Labour Party, in practise, condemns and attempts to muffle legitimate political discourse and truth-telling about the suppression of human and civil rights, whilst protecting or ignoring the operation of a right wing propaganda initiative.
It is a sobering thought that when even members of the European political elite, including ex-Labour ministers can use the term “apartheid” in relation to Israel (see letter to e-guardian 27 February signed by forty ex-ministers), anti-racist. pro-Palestinian Labour activists reported for using the ‘a’ term, risk suspension and possible ejection from the party at the hands of the Party ‘compliance’ unit. Funny old world!
