Anyone still banging on about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party now needs to be treated as if they had said that Afghanistan was involved in the events of 11th September 2001, or that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or that a genocide had impended in Benghazi, or that Iran had a nuclear weapons programme, or that the Queen controlled the global trade in illegal drugs, or that the world was run by giant lizards.
Each of those propositions is exactly as sane as any of the others, and the "Labour anti-Semitism" theory is exactly as sane as each of them.
The people peddling it, like the people who peddled at least the first four of them, are rich enough or posh enough to be as barking mad as they like, no matter what the adverse consequences to poorer or more common people who, if they were to come out with the same kind of thing, would rightly be committed.

DeleteShush, you mustn't mention that 9/11 was the Saudis.
