Observer/Jeremy Corbyn/EHRC/antisemitism footnote: article author’s ill grace
Facepalm: And quit right -what will Jeremy Corbyn (and his supporters) have to put up with next?
The author of the Observer article I criticised so roundly earlier this week has commented after (apparently) a few corrections were made to the online version.
I can only agree with Aaron Bastani:
Off Twitter, and in the real world, the Observer have now *corrected* part of their article published over the weekend (by Sonia Sodha) that was factually inaccurate about Corbyn’s response to the EHRC.
Far too much of this. When someone identifies an error, call them a bigot. pic.twitter.com/xTiSFndvQo

& accused opponents & the media of “dramatically overstating” the extent of antisemitism in the party “for political reasons”.
Undeniable. Simon Hefner said he wanted to re-open Auschwitz!
Sodha was wrong. But rather than be honest she accuses those who are correct of bigotry.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.
And I found plenty more errors. Are they going to stay uncorrected?

It is time now for all honest, decent MPs to form a political party that actually works to make Britain a land fit for all, that works for Britain and the British people. As it is now, Parliament is a cess pit of lies, theft, and corruption. Time to dump the scumbags that have turned Britain into a laughing stock, a sick joke on the world stage!
“And I found plenty more errors. Are they going to stay uncorrected?”
Errors do occur but when so many errors have been made, it is unlikely to be incompetence. It is likely to be deliberate.
