ENGLAND, BORIS JOHNSON, LABOR’S ANTI-SEMITISM
The “Secret Labour Files of Shame”
That’s what the London Times calls the explosive Labour Party files on anti-Semitism that, having been leaked, have now been reviewed by the newspaper. The rank instances of anti-Semitism exhibited by Labour members of Parliament, and the party’s weak response thereto, are shocking:
The secret files, seen by this paper, reveal the party is still overwhelmed with complaints about anti-Jewish racism that have been left unresolved for months or years. Most have resulted in lenient punishments or no sanctions, according to the documents, despite Jeremy Corbyn’s election campaign claims of zero tolerance.
***Boris Johnson for Prime Minister
When Britons go to the polls on Thursday to choose the 58th Parliament, The New York Sun will be rooting for Boris Johnson. It might seem preposterous for an American publication to make an endorsement in a British election. Then again, too, one wag noted, if the Sun hadn’t, at the last minute, emerged as the only national paper to endorse Donald Trump, Secretary of State Clinton might be president.
More seriously, it’s hard to think of many political causes in which we’ve been more invested over the years than that of an independent Britain. We formed our view, in the 1980s, by covering the European Union for a great newspaper (in our case, the Wall Street Journal). It’s the same method through which Mr. Johnson reached his conclusions about the EU, by covering it for a great newspaper (in his case the Daily Telegraph).
