Is it just me or is “Would you like to apologise for the anti-semitism in your party?” Very similar to asking “When did you stop beating your wife?”

That reminds me, an elderly man came in to the library I work in to ask who the candidates were standing in Aberdeen South because he hadn't had any leaflets through his door! He had no computer or smart phone. I said that may be partly because of Ross Thompson standing down. There are only 4 candidates, tory, lib dem, labour, and snp. Guessing the green stood aside to support snp. I was surprised he hadn't had anything though. We've had all the leaflets here in West Aberdeenshire & Kincardine.
Has anyone received their postal vote form yet? shanksi is going to be in Newcastle with work so applied for a postal vote but not received anything yet. He did get a polling card for voting here though.

Dio does she always get a postal vote? It's shanksi's first time. Maybe it takes longer the first time?

Actually, I may be wrong, it may just have been confirmation that her request for a postal vote has been accepted. I’ll check tomorrow when I visit.

Nellers, it could, and should, be phrased differently from that, which would avoid this particular problem. "Your party has been accused of being institutionally anti-semitic. What would you say in response to these accusations, and if you agree there is some truth to them, would you care to apologise to those affected?". Something like that.
Of course, Corbyn would just mess that up anyway, because he's utterly bloody useless. He is the worst Labour leader ever, desperately poor at a time when someone even half competent would be wiping the floor with the Conservatives. I'm not convinced he, personally, is anti-semitic, but his whole miserably inadequate response to the anti-semitism issue is evidence of how spectacularly poor he is as a party leader. This should have been killed off ages ago, instead of being allowed to fester.

Mrs S, perhaps the Tories have given up on Aberdeen South? I’m in marginal Stirling & have had loads of stuff from them for the recycle bin.
