To be expected. The Labour party does nothing for the average working class. Long live Boris!!

I must admit in recent weeks I seriously thought I would have to put my body on the line and stand and fight the anti-Semitic Labour supporters were they to win.

I'm sure they were thrilled to bits to become a vote-winning political pawn to be dragged around the Tory shop window for a few weeks.

My Grandad fought antisemites for 4 years. Britain was a sanctuary then and yesterday's vote has restored my faith now that we have destroyed antisemites again! Rule Britannia!

I'm glad that you finally got that everyone has the right to complain and it's not reserved to a selected few.
It's actually funny to see that the Brexiters have been complaining about lack of freedom of speech, snowflakes and virtue-signallers ganging up on them and the reality just proved it was the other way around. | Quote: |  | | | It's funny how the whole subject of the Jewish community and anti-sematism was only a "thing" when there was an election at stake.

Why don't you get this straight?  | | | | | Neither were all Nazi voters in the 1930s. It still didn’t prevent the Holocaust from happening! You can accuse me of Godwin, however it’s the single biggest example of what happens when good people stand by and do nothing! That is what a vote for Labour was, standing by and saying “we condone antisemitism”!

Boris Johnson is not a racist, simple as that. | | | | | Maybe not (who would really know? Politicians can say whatever attracts more votes) but will he be good for the job? There were no signs he affects political scene in a positive way. I think he'll create a mess that British we'll need a couple of generations to clean it up.
But hey, let's leave it at that.

You chose to ignore it and support a party led by such a problematic person.You get to own this problem.
Luckily for Britain most people chose otherwise.
I hope the Labour party will regain it's senses soon.

Or are you just doing that thing where you randomly jump into a thread and tell everyone what they are thinking and doing, regardless of whether it's based on fact or reality?

For the others who posted in support of Corbyn and/or assumed that being critical of corbyn must mean that the person is a Tory yet didn't vote labour - I apologize for assuming they did.

You've given your vote to a proven racist instead of one who has never been proven to say anything anti-Semitic.
So, what's your real reason for voting for Bozza, as this cognitive dissonance isn't cutting it.
