Blood On The Headset

It bears repetition that the people who wrote the EHRC report into “Labour anti-Semitism” have since been sacked by the Conservative Government. Just ignore that report, and if the other side made a fuss, then reply that, “You’ve sacked the people who wrote it.” 

Instead, though, Labour has appointed a “Social Listening and Organizing Manager”, even spelt like that, who is a veteran of the Israeli Unit 8200. That is a military intelligence operation whose members are noted for marking an X on their headsets each time that they killed a Palestinian, a practice known as the blood on the headset. And no one ever really leaves something like that.

But this Israeli spy, Assaf Kaplan, had much the same job with the once-dominant Israeli Labor Party when it fell to a mere six seats; it now has three, and it is on course for none in March. He is in the Leader of the Opposition’s Office, where his repetition of that trick will be public money well spent.

Ah, the Leader of the Opposition. The Conservative Party has proposed one of its members and donors, Andrew Cayley QC, for appointment as Chief Inspector of the Crown Prosecution Service, as if it had won a General Election. He says: “If you look at the current Leader of the Labour Party, he went from being the Director of Public Prosecutions to gaining one of the safest Labour London seats in about 15 months, and I don’t think anyone questioned that.” I did. I do. And I will.
