Why are you bringing up and talking about antisemitism in the EU thread? That has nothing to do with this thread, I'm not telling you how to do your job but wouldn't it be better to bring this stuff up in a separate topic?
First, I’m not sure what my job has to do with anything. Apart from the fact that I’m posting in here because my business (and many that I deal with) has already been affected by Brexit. It’s going to be a shit show that affects people’s futures. It’s not a thought experiment - it’s real life and I am fucking furious with anyone who has allowed this to happen through action or inaction.
If by ‘my job’ you mean moderation, that’s some voluntary stuff that the admin team do to try and make the site work as best as we can.
There isn’t a Labour or a Corbyn thread because we all know what a cesspit it will be, because it will come down to opinions rather than facts. However, the Labour Party’s position on Brexit is fundamental to any discussion on the subject.
If course we could ban discussion on Brexit entirely - we’re a footy site after all - but it’s an important discussion that we’re happy to let run (within reason).
Anti-semitism was raised because it was said that Corbyn couldn’t take a stand on Brexit for political reasons. My point is that he’s happy to take a stand that enables anti-semitism in the Party among some of his closest and oldest allies.
If Corbyn was passionate about being in the EU he would have (or should have) campaigned for it in principle from day one. He didn’t because he’s a eurosceptic and always has been.
As for anti-semitism, the easiest way to deal with the problem was to get rid of the anti-Semitic arseholes in the party and unequivocally adopt the IHRA definition of anti-semitism. But that’s not going to happen either, because there’s an obsession in his group with the Middle East that trumps UK politics.
