ARE we witnessing the end of the Labour Party?
Two recent events could add some credence to this postulation.
Ken Livingstone with his comments about Adolf Hitler being a champion of the Jews is so risible it beggars belief.
On April 1, 1924, Hitler was sentenced to 13 months’ imprisonment in the Fortress of Landsberg Am Lech.
During his imprisonment he wrote his book, Mein Kampf (My Struggle).
On pages 146, 272-75 and 291 he makes his hatred of the Jews all too plain.
They are not the words of a sympathiser.
This hatred belies the claim, by Ken Livingstone, that Hitler was a champion of the Jews. Livingstone has been suspended from the Labour Party.
Then we have MP Naz Shah who Jeremy Corbyn (reluctantly) also suspended from the Labour Party for the solution to the Jewish problem part of her manifesto.
Between Ken Livingstone and Naz Shah making inappropriate comments, and their bringing the Labour Party into some disrepute, could this be the beginning of the end for Jeremy Corbyn?
