Wailing Walls

Off went Newsnight about some mural that its graphics department will have doctored very heavily, or made up out of thin air. "Corbyn and anti-Semitism" is the lie that will not die. It is being kept going until it has attained its purpose of inciting the murder of Jeremy Corbyn. That was also Newsnight's intention with its "Corbyn and the Kremlin" montage, for which it ought to be prosecuted accordingly.

All this for the sake of a parliamentary party, alongside and beside Theresa May, that is dominated by the scions of Nazi-sympathising families. Scions who might, at a push, allow the more discreet sort of Jew in the house these days, but whose expensively uneducated wives would never countenance such a thing under any circumstance.

Not only because of Newsnight's editorial policy in favour of his assassination is Corbyn already lucky to be alive. He was joined on the platform of last year's Durham Miners' Gala by an armed Mossad agent, Simon Henig of 22 Rickleton Avenue, Chester-le-Street, County Durham, DH3 4AE. He is shown below.

Henig has arranged for me to be placed under active threat of death at the hands of American-based agents of the present Israeli and Indian Governments, "the heirs of Moshe Sneh, the heirs of Nathuram Godse." Had the signal come through on Henig's smartphone, then Corbyn would be dead. If the Durham Miners' Association takes that same risk this year, then shame on it. Even greater than the shame on it for having entertained Henig last year, an obscene betrayal of the 472 Teaching Assistants whose pay he has cut by 23 per cent.

The only person who has ever thought that I was Jewish was the late Rabbi Lionel Blue. Many years ago, Neil Fleming, then a rising star but now unemployed, eagerly asked me if I had seen "the Leader" on this or that. "No," I replied, "I was at Rabbi Lionel Blue's birthday party. What can you do?" "Yes, David," he replied sourly, "What can you do?" That is not my absolute favourite anecdote, though. That is the one about the time that George Galloway promised live on air to take a peerage if I did. I'll hold him to that.

Anyway, if dear Lionel had still been alive, then he would have been on of my character witnesses against the legitimate Palestinian military target, Simon Henig, a status that the Durham Miners' Association ought to consider before extending its hospitality to him again. But none of my dozens of character witnesses has been allowed, because any one of them would have guaranteed an acquittal. Ho, hum. With no disclosed evidence, literally none, an acquittal is guaranteed, anyway.

After which, we can get on with the fact that as the Member of Parliament for North West Durham, I would seek to work with a Labour, a Conservative, a Liberal Democrat and an Independent representative in each of the County Wards, ideally including someone in each of the former District Wards. Those would communicate the concerns of local people to me, and then work with them and with me in order to address those concerns.

One such would be Neil Fleming, who now needs the work. Filling the Labour place in the Lanchester Ward, which includes Burnhope. You can either see, or there would be no point in trying to explain to you, quite how magnanimous I am being here. It is just as well that I am also determined to ensure that a Gala, and very preferably the Gala, is held in Burnhope to mark the centenary of the one in 1926. You know what you have to do, brothers and sisters. You know what you have to do.
