Labour Response to Subject Access Request – Blacked Out Emails

Labour’s Witch-hunters Hide Identity of Informers

| Labour’s idea of a disclosure of information! |

| Times article based on leaked information |
The efforts of Labour’s Compliance Unit to
control and roll back internal democracy, dissent and debate is the
opposite of Karl Popper’s Open Society.
In its stilted discourse and reaction to criticism, and its attempts to hide its
workings from external and internal scrutiny, its deviousness and dishonesty in
how it operates, Labour’s unelected civil service, headed by General Secretary Iain
McNicol, exhibit the classic symptoms of those who run a closed society. It is a society where
different rules of logic prevail.
Whereas in an Open Society the right of the accused to defend themselves
is taken for granted and seen as a sign of a healthy and democratic society, in
the world of McNicol’s minions, defending oneself against accusations of
misconduct is seen as proof of one’s guilt.
There is a perceived resentment that someone should have the audacity to
question the judgement of Labour’s unelected bureaucracy.

| A helpful warning to the Compliance Unit to beware of the new Brighton LP Secretary who is also a journalist! |
A closed society encourages anonymous informants and
goes to extraordinary lengths, including breaking the law, in order to protect
them. The idea that people who make
allegations against others might be called to account and expected to defend their allegations, is
foreign to these people.

I have been suspended for ‘anti-Semitism’ from
the Labour Party since March 18th.
My original letter of suspension refused to elaborate on the reasons why
I had been suspended, other than that they were for remarks I was alleged to
have made. The first time I knew of some of the details of
my suspension was when the Telegraph and The Times printed details of why I had
been suspended on April 2nd.

Background
to my suspension
to my suspension
Apparently I have been suspended for
anti-Semitism – which kind of makes sense.
If you want to show that you are dealing firmly with allegations of
anti-Semitism, then what better way to show this than to suspend a Jewish
anti-racist! Especially if you are
dealing with the kind of ‘anti-Semitism’ that involves criticism of the
‘Jewish’ State of Israel.

anti-racist! Especially if you are
dealing with the kind of ‘anti-Semitism’ that involves criticism of the

I am reminded of a joke of Hajo Meyer, a Jewish
survivor of Auschwitz:
survivor of Auschwitz:
‘formerly an anti-Semite was somebody who hated Jews but nowadays
an anti-Semite is somebody who is hated by Jews.’
an anti-Semite is somebody who is hated by Jews.’
Hajo Meyer was someone who refused
to accept the lesson that Zionism drew from the Holocaust, viz. that it
entitled Jews to be racists. Hajo believed
that the message of the Holocaust must be that genocide and racism must never
again occur to anyone – Jewish or non-Jewish.

Amongst my many sins was having compared
Israel’s marriage laws to those of the Nazis Nuremberg Laws. Comparisons between Israel and the Nazis is,
by definition anti-Semitic according to the Zionists – except when the Zionists
do it! For example when Netanyahu
explained how Hitler was talked into the Holocaust by the Palestinian Haj al
amin-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem. [see Rewriting
the Holocaust].

There are
very many examples of comparisons between Zionism and Nazism in the period
before the Holocaust. There are
differences too but Zionism’s belief in the need to create an ethnically pure
Jewish state and its obsession with a Jewish demographic majority in Israel, belong
to the Nazi era.

The reason why comparisons between
Zionism and Nazism are valid was best put by Professor Funkenstein, formerly Head of the Faculty of History at
Tel Aviv University. He compared soldiers
in the German army who refused to serve in concentration or extermination camps
to Israeli soldiers who refused to serve in the Occupied Territories. To those who asked how it was possible to
compare the actions of Nazi soldiers with Israelis, Funkenstein replied

Palestine, which called for the disaffiliation of the racist Poalei Zion (now the
Jewish Labour Movement) from the Labour Party.

cleansed Palestine of nearly 90% of its Palestinians in 1947-8. It is a party that in elections attacks the
opposition Likud for being too soft on Arabs.

leaders to stop claiming that it is a Jewish state that acts on behalf of and represents

They seem to have taken exception to my perfectly reasonable comparison
between asking the JLM to conduct anti-racist education courses and asking Nick
Griffin of the BNP to do the same.
Griffin loves Israel because it is racist and anti-Islamic. It was Griffin who, on BBC Question Time some
years ago said that the BNP was ‘the only political party which in
the clashes between Israel and Gaza stood full-square behind Israel’s right to
deal with Hamas terrorists.” The Guardian of April 10th

Apparently my criticism of the JLM was ‘beyond any boundaries of normative political discourse’. Translating this, I think, means that you
mustn’t stray outside the strict parameters of what passes for political debate
in the bourgeois press and TV.
Revolutionary rhetoric is definitely beyond the boundaries. Further it is ‘an attempt to bring us [the JLM?] into disrepute’. Presumably
if we were to disaffiliate the JLM from the Labour Party we would avoid all
these problems?

12 These are interesting documents despite heavy redaction. They involve internal dialogue of Labour
Party bureaucrats. The first email is completely blacked out. The second email on p.41 draws attention to a
blog post – which simply remarks that I had finally been told something of the
reasons for my suspension. I also
pointed out that peoples’ membership fees had also been wasted paying £30,000
on a new Compliance Administrator A
small victory – I have been told the basis of my suspension! – Labour Party is prepared to spend
nearly £30K a year on a new Compliance Administrator. An
anonymous Labour Party hack doesn’t seem to understand that when you accuse
someone of something that they might have the right to know what they are
accused of. They remark in a heavily
redacted email, that ‘no staff member
should have to put up with this. It’s
completely unacceptable.’ It is
fortunate that this person isn’t in charge of the Justice system. On p.42 a Caroline remarks, in a heading
entitled ‘Greenstein Suspension’ to HG
‘Depressing to think a year ago we were apparently on course to win an
election. Now we’ve been reduced to

connection with myself.
HG,
who has been delegated to investigate me and from who one might expect a
modicum of impartiality responds that ‘Obviously
his behaviour is unacceptable’ and that ‘this
is top of my list of priorities’.
One might have thought that the Regional Organiser for the Labour Party South-East
region might have other priorities than my investigation. HG reassures Caroline that ‘this matter will not be anywhere as
protracted as previous disciplinary action against certain Brighton members.’ I assume that this refers to the newly
elected Brighton Secretary, Greg Hadfield.
Greg was suspended without just cause for 11 months and told next to
nothing about why he was suspended.

On
the same day another anonymous person informs HG that I launched a ‘very unpleasant attack on Cllr Emma Daniel …
He also called Ivor Caplin a war criminal.’
Emma Daniel announced on Twitter that she had joined the Zionist Jewish
Labour Movement. I simply pointed out
some salient facts about the organisation she had joined and the Israeli human
rights abuse that she was now endorsing.
Presumably pointing out that if you join a Zionist Apartheid
organisation you should be taken to endorse their politics is an ‘unpleasant
attack’. Perhaps I should have refrained
from pointing out that Israel gaols and tortures (Palestinian) children as
young as 12. As for the former MP for
Hove, Ivor Caplin. He was junior defence
Minister at the time of the Iraq War and fully merits the title of junior war
criminal.

| Zionist objects to my calling him a Jewish Nazi |

| Israeli Zionist generalises about all Palestinians being cowards – but Chair of Brighton LP Russell Lloyd-Moyle objects to the term Jewish Nazi |

| Racist Zionist says Palestine ‘never was (nor will be) |
Another
email from HG is entirely blacked out as is part of a further email. I don’t know who has penned it though I have
my suspicion that it could be the former Chair of the B&H Labour Party Russell
Lloyd-Moyle, who forwards a piece of ‘evidence’ whilst asking when the
Compliance Unit will finally hear the case.
The evidence he encloses is a twitter link to an image from @FalafelBig. Falafel who complains that I call ‘Jewish critics’,
in fact Zionists, Nazis rather than Zio scum.
Mr Falafel names himself after an Arab cuisine that Israel has stolen
and called its own. As other tweets
show, this person is an entrenched racist and fully merits the description of a
Jewish Nazi. For example his reaction to
Google’s decision to erase ‘Palestine’ from its maps and to replace it by
Israel was ‘how can you delete something
that never was’ In fact the area now
occupied by Israel was known as Palestine for 2,000 years.

15 This is a
long email from JVoiceUK, a group which claims
to be ‘The Voice of Socialism and
Progressive Jewish Values’. It is
also a Zionist organisation and therein lies the problem. The email is sent to the Chakrabarti Inquiry
and attempts to defend Zionist collaboration with the Nazis. In truth it doesn’t understand it since it
suggests that this collaboration was solely based on Ha’avara, the Zionist
trade/transfer agreement with the Nazis.
Zionist collaboration went much further than Ha’avara. See here
and here.

JVoiceUK claims that Jewish
emigration from the Arab countries from 1948 onwards was a result of forced
emigration, whereas it was a product of a number of different circumstances
including, as in Iraq and elsewhere the activities of Zionist activists who
planted explosives and bombs in areas that Jews frequented to simulate
anti-Semitism. [See The
Zionist Destruction of the Iraqi Jewish Community] The incoherent email compares Hitler’s
support for Zionism with the Tories support for the Minimum Wage! In the section on myself and Charley Allan, a
Jewish reporter on the Morning Star, it equates giving offence to someone who is
Jewish to anti-Semitism. Giving offence
is the essence of free speech. Without
the right to offend the powerful and privileged, including Zionist racists,
then the right to free speech is meaningless.
It comes out with the absurd phrase that ‘when someone is offended that is the start of potential anti-Semitism’.

JVoiceUK introduce a new phrase
‘Ziophobia’ – presumably a fear of Zionism.
Ziophobia ‘ignores all forms of

and perhaps ‘Naziphobia’ too!

16 Concerns an informant. The first email is completely blacked out,
the second email omits the name of the recipient. The third e-mail is completely blacked out
too and the fourth email (pp. 113/4) is heavily redacted but concerns my
‘abuse’ of two councillors, Caroline Penn and Emma Daniels, who joined the JLM
and the right-wing Chair of Young Labour.
My ‘abuse’ consisted of pointing out that the JLM was the British wing
of the Israeli Labour Party. The
informant – who I suspect is the previous Chair of Brighton Labour Party, Lloyd
Russell-Moyle, complains that I was abusive to members who support or had
joined the JLM. I guess telling the
truth is also considered abusive! Moyle goes
on to state that ‘This is part of a general rudeness and offensive
nature of Tony, please note that this is nothing to do with his views on
Zionism.’ I shall leave it to others
to judge this.

Moyle appeals for the investigation to be conducted urgently as ‘the local party is being disrupted (despite
him being a suspended member) by his presence at public events… and the shadow
of his reappointment hanging over us.’ And just in case the message hadn’t got
through about how dangerous I was, Moyle pleaded ‘Can I remind you that Tony can be a manipulative person, it is
important that the case against him is watertight.’’ Lloyd seems to fear that if the
witch-hunters don’t follow a fair process then I might have grounds for
overturning any expulsion. Clearly he
fails to understand that unfairness lies at the heart of the process.

comments. I have been an active

and in the most vulnerable situations.’

that he had, as a joke, recommended support for Class War in an election.
