Now someone has "leaked" the full Royall report, which shows that students at the Oxford University Labour club who were Jewish were subjected to frequent anti-Semitism. And this makes clear that the Labour party clearly attempted to cover-up the negative findings of an inquiry that they themselves had commissioned.

 

In an interview aired July 20, Shami Chakrabarti was specifically asked about whether she had been offered a seat in the House of Lords (peerage) before writing her report. She looked unusually uncomfortable and shuffled around before saying, "I don't think I want to talk about my future ambitions at this point." This week, it was announced that the one person put forward for a peerage by the Labour party in the latest honours list is... Shami Chakrabarti.

 

A party that tries to silence those who identify anti-Semitism, and rewards those who cover it up, is a party where moral as well as political corruption is not an aberration, but systemic.
