With no interest in the economic equality without which there can be no other, the "Equality" and Human Rights Commission is the Blairiest body imaginable. The phrase "metropolitan liberal elite" could have been invented for it, so that Left and Right alike ought to laugh it out with scorn. In the best tradition of such circles, it has the authentic Donald Trump or Joe Biden attitude to uppity Coloureds.
And that characteristic approach to racial integration at home is matched by the characteristic approach to white settler colonialism abroad. For the EHRC is judging whether or not the Labour Party is anti-Semitic by reference to the IHRA Definition, as if that were the law of the land. Many local authorities now do the same thing, especially in order to persecute the trade union representatives of their workers. I need hardly add the name of our dear friends, the Crown Prosecution Service. But nobody has ever voted for this. Not even the House of Commons has ever voted on it.

Oh, well, what is the EHRC going to do, anyway? Impose some fine? Do not pay it, and then dare the EHRC to send Jeremy Corbyn to prison or what have you. But of course that is not going to happen. Corbyn has accepted all of this. He has failed to encourage Martin Luther King-style civil disobedience of the EHRC. Instead, he has allowed it to go about its Dixiecrat way. He has accepted the IHRA Definition, and he is doing absolutely nothing for Chris Williamson. The same is of course true of all of the rest of them, including Laura Pidcock.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration. I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham even if I can raise only the deposit, which I could do by going pretty overdrawn, although that was not how I was brought up. I would still prefer to raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign, but I am no longer making my candidacy conditional on having done so. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
