Well I meant the party at large really but it's not a good sign that she felt comfortable telling it without any kind of hesitation.

Except that she prefaced it with an explanation that it was an example of some of the hideous anti-Semitic shit endemic.
You're right though (on your other point): The labour party does have a huge historic problem of antisemitism that goes way beyond Red Ken that has never really been tackled.

Well yes I pointed that out in another post here.
However it's breathtaking that she felt it would be ok to repeat it.
If I was making a point on racism I wouldn't feel comfortable telling a racist joke.Even if I had said before hand that I had read it elsewhere.
Stating that the interviewer would enjoy the joke was just stupidity.
As to labour antisemitism...
From what I can see coming out of the party conference labours getting worse.
They're well in bed with radical islam now.

I wish there was a political party that treated all organised religions with the disdain they deserve.
That'd be the one for me.
