No not from the far-right, the neo-Nazis or indeed the Muslims, but from members of the Labour party no less.

Another example of the slo-mo implosion of The Labour party. Love the bright red picture of Corbyn with the letters Co on his face.

The confrontation with Marc Wadsworth was not antisemitic. You can see for yourself the exchange in the video.

He said:
// “I saw that the Telegraph handed a copy of a press release to Ruth Smeeth MP so you can see who is working hand in hand. If you look around this room, how many African Caribbean and Asian people are there? We need to get our house in order.” //

Ruth Smeeth described this as
// “I was verbally attacked by a Momentum activist and Jeremy Corbyn supporter who used traditional anti-Semitic slurs to attack me for being part of a “media conspiracy”. It is beyond belief that someone could come to the launch of a report about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party and espouse such vile conspiracy theories against Jewish people.” //

She interpretted the exchange as a traditional anti-Semitic attack when it was nothing of the sort. People have obviously reacted to her distortion and been nasty to her on facebook. Why any so called intelligent MP takes notice of anything on Facebook is beyond me.

well given the Labour party's increasingly anti Semitic tendencies it does not surprise me. Seen this?: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-37253977

Reading 25,000 facebook comments is a total waste of her time.

// On Friday she told the BBC she had a "human reaction" following the death threat. //

That is reassuring.

What does surprise me that if the far-right were to post such things on sites such as facebook, the police would soon carry out an investigation.

[Zacs-Master]

The police are involved. She has protection.

[Gromit]

AOG,
The police are investigating some of the abuse, see Toras link.

// Counter-terrorism police are investigating who is behind the abusive message, but no arrests have been made.
Allegations of "malicious communication and threats to kill" made via social media were reported to the Metropolitan Police on 13 July. //

No she didn't. How can a persons party membership be assertained from a facebook message or tweet? It can't. There isn't even any evidence that the messages originated in this country.

A lot of people have allegedly been booted out of the party recently by hard working members.
But the lame condemnation from the Ayatollah Corbyn are as good as condoning this, in my view

[mushroom25]

//But the lame condemnation from the Ayatollah Corbyn....//

any statement from mr corbyn would be a miracle. in this case - and invariably - statements involving the labour leader come from "mr corbyn's office", or "a spokesman". mr corbyn seems singularly unable to speak for himself.

[ichkeria]

He has spoken out, but not, in my view, very convincingly

[agchristie]

Mush > mr corbyn seems singularly unable to speak for himself.

He doesn't need to when Owen Smith is around.He could lose his voice until the votes are counted and still 'lead' the party!
