I think Jo Cox has made people, and the courts, sharpen up a bit on being serious about assualt on public figures.

As well as the explosion in racial abuse, misogyny and death threats against public figures in real life and in social media.

To be fair, those incidents were before we had an MP murdered for being insufficiently right wing....

I had a Tradesman call to give me a quote for some work, his name and number was given to me by a Forummer.  He came in the house, had 10 seconds surveying the job and then kicked off trying to spout the most vile rightwing racist rubbish Ive ever heard. I showed him the door quickly but he managed to slip a comment in about Jo Cox getting what she deserved before he left. The man is a complete lunatic.................and dangerous.

I think what he is saying that she hasn't been expelled for leaked antisemitic remarks. 

 

It isn't made that clear in the Guardian article what the exact reason for expulsion was other that 'breaking the rules of the party'.

Exactly, the article actually says.... 

 

"The former vice-chair of Momentum Jackie Walker has been expelled from the Labour party for misconduct, in one of the longest-running high-profile cases of the party’s antisemitism crisis.

It is understood the party disciplinary process took into account a pattern of behaviour by Walker over time, including comments on social media. She was expelled for “prejudicial and grossly detrimental behaviour against the party”.

 

but this is par for the cause, it was the same with Ken Livingstone, he was accused of antisemitism, then it was dropped but he still got kicked out for bringing the party into disrepute, and the same will happen to Chris Williamson, this is not about antisemitism, its about cutting off the left wing support for Corbyn

[Obelix]

I'm fairly certain it'll be for antisemetic remarks and I'm fairly certain the usual Momentum apologists will be squirming and saying well it doesnt specifically say that it's for being a Jew hater....

 

But we all know thats what it is for.

Interesting article here, especially if there's a forthcoming election and the Brexit matter.

But no doubt the usual worshippers will be along to shout MEDIA BIAS and the other usual excuses.
