Reacting to Mr Corbyn’s election as leader of the Labour Party after Shabbos, Simon Johnson the CEO of the Jewish Leadership Council said:
“The Jewish Leadership Council will, as we always have, find ways of working with Her Majesty’s Opposition on matters relevant to us. Over the course of the leadership campaign, we had a number of concerns regarding some of Mr Corbyn’s past connections, and his stances on policy areas of great significance to the Jewish community. It is important that the legitimate concerns of the community are addressed.”
“We look forward to meeting with Mr Corbyn at the first available opportunity to discuss our concerns, but also ways in which the Labour Party and the Jewish community can continue to work together in a spirit of cooperation and understanding. We hope that the Labour movement remains a welcoming environment for members of the Jewish community, many of whom have lifelong commitments to it.”

Really, what do you expect when the people accepting the handouts are the majority of voters? They hear the promise of easy money and “equality” and race to the polls. I think only people who pay taxes should have the right to vote…. It is their money, after all, funding the entire government and all those lovely handouts. I hear in Britain those government handouts are enormous, and people have come to expect them as their due.
