What steps can he realistically take to clean out the anti semites? As far as I can tell all he can do is boot them out of the party and that hurts the party. So is this meeting merely an attempt at schmoozing?

the needle returns to the start of the song......

Schmoozing all the way.

Even when they suspend people the just turn up again all forgiven smiles in to a better position than before.

He's doing what he has to be seen to be doing, that's all.

Antisemitism is rife all over Europe and isn't going to go away anytime soon.

There is not alot he can do even if he wished to. Of course another little problem is that he himself is a Hezbollah supporter so makes things a little awkward.

This particular exercise is just more gesture politics, talk is cheap (for any politician)

[youngmafbog]

Talbot, anti semitis never relly went away in Germany, Merkle has had her head up her jacksie which is why she thinks it is growing. All that is happening is that they are emerging from the covers again.

The Germans also have never given up on Europe domination, that is why they loved the EU. By stealth instead of what they failed to do by two World wars.

The meeting didn't go very well apparently.

[naomi24]

The Jewish leaders were disappointed with Mr Corbyn's efforts.

well it was always going to be a struggle, COB is a well known supporter of Hamas, Hezbollah etc, so really the wrong man to try and schmooze the jews.
