Enough Is Enough

If I am wrong that Simon Henig is a Mossad agent, then who else has had me placed under repeated and active threat of death by extreme Zionists (and Hindu nationalists) in the United States? Go through everyone else in my incredible story, and tell me who it could possibly have been. Not because he is Jewish; other people might be, I do not know. But because he alone might conceivably have those sorts of connections.

So, was Henig a threat to Jeremy Corbyn's life on the platform of last year's Durham Miners' Gala? Or was he condoning anti-Semitism by appearing with Corbyn? Or both? In any event, Henig's presence was an insult to, and a betrayal of, the 472 Teaching Assistants whose pay he had cut by 23 per cent, so that they are now paid less for full-time work with children than Durham County Councillors receive for no formal requirement beyond attendance at four meetings per year. A insult and a betrayal by, it pains me to have to say, the Durham Miners' Association.

There are between 250,000 and 300,000 Jews in Britain, out of 66 million people overall. Of the Jews that you know, probably half are non-Zionist, or anti-Zionist, or highly critical of the State of Israel as it exists and functions, or Corbyn-supporting, or some combination of those. The first three of those positions, at least, are also very common in Britain's rapidly growing Haredi population, with which the rest of us rarely do come into contact, but which is certainly there.

Yet the noisiest, essentially self-appointed "community leaders" of a tiny ethnic minority are seeking, certainly to remove the Leader of the Opposition, and possibly to incite his assassination, on behalf of a foreign state. That is the scandal here. Imagine if any other ethnic group whatever were at the centre of something like this. Imagine, for the sake of argument, that the noisiest, essentially self-appointed "community leaders" among the well over a million British Pakistanis were seeking, certainly to remove the Leader of the Opposition, and possibly to incite his assassination, on behalf of Pakistan.
