and the Novara crew were at the forefront of the rancid Corbyn project. They served as outriders whose purpose was to spread the word. At best they ALL denied, excused or minimised the antisemitism at its rotten core. At worst they propagated it. (1)
At no stage did any of them have an epiphany and turn their back on the project. Nor were they unbiased reporters. They were enthusiastic propagandists to the end. Since the debacle of the election there has been a concerted attempt by all of them to reposition themselves. (2)
As @LordIanAustin put it, they were "all in the resistance" now. It simply does not wash and no quarter should be given to their weasel words now. What matters is what was said and done at the time. (3)
I, for one, will not forget let alone forgive @AyoCaesar 's sickening "solidarity" with the graffitists of the Warsaw Ghetto among her many misdeeds nor @AaronBastani 's call to "investigate" the rabbis among many. But 2 examples, not of mistakes, but hardcore antisemitism. (4)
None of us should ever be tempted to forget nor allow them to. By rights the whole crew should be shunned by civilised society and be as welcome on mainstream media platforms as their fascist equivalent. In practice their proved to be little difference.
