Another Passover, another Labour blunder.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.

The UK is going to hell in a handcart, Brexit’s going tits up, the NHS is failing, 10s of thousands of kids in poverty and dozens of teenagers being stabbed in the capital but Jezza momentarily posted a pic of a loaf and Diane Abbott sneaks a cheeky Mojito on a commuter train.

Seriously, I’m no fan of Corbyn but the knee-jerk hysteria over every microscopic move made by Labour dilutes your legitimate gripes.
But it is funny, though... |

If posting about it in a thread about Corbyn is Hysteria, so be it.

Consequently people look stupid for about 30 seconds before the world moves on.
At the end of the day it is the result of voting that matters; question is how involved is the average voter in all this crap that should in reality drive their votes?

The tweet itself would be not much more than a 60 second joke,had it not been for Labour's appalling antisemitic record - now even the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is likely to investigate them, same as BNP was.
Antisemitism is apparently not something the average UK voter cares much about and Corbyn's Labour is using this to it's advantage.

| | | | | The UK politicians are a swamp of gormless f00kwits. Anti semitism can get in line and take its turn like all the other hot topics as well as all the other perpetually offended people. |

Politics is a job, you can't be good at it and be stupid.
Anyway - Every country gets the politicians it deserves.
