George Galloway has just waded into Labour’s anti-Semitism row and it is safe to say his intervention won’t do much to calm things down. The firebrand former politician said the claims of anti-Semitism agains the Labour party were a lie – and he then compared the Sky News journalist interviewing him to Josef Goebbels. Here’s what he said:
GG: ‘It is really a black-op what is going on here. This is pure Goebbelian propaganda.’
Niall Paterson: ‘We’ve just mentioned Luciana Berger, do you think it is entirely relevant to talk about Goebbelian propaganda?’
GG: ‘I do.’
NP: ‘We’ve got a Jewish Labour MP leaving because of anti-Semitism.’
GG: ‘I don’t believe she is leaving because of anti-Semitism, I believe you want people to believe that and the Goebbels is you. And the Times. And the other organs that are pumping out this foul slander against the Labour party knowing that it is untrue’
Oh dear…
