Now, who has got a problem with discrimination?
DAVID ROSENBERG takes a closer look at the Campaign Against Antisemitism
CAA demonstrators, April 2018

THE Equalities and Human Rights Commission, a body created by the Labour Party when in government, has announced that it is following up dossiers of complaints about anti-semitism in the Labour Party submitted by the self-styled “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (CAA) and the Labour Party affiliate, the Jewish Labour Movement, and may launch a formal investigation to see if Labour has discriminated against people because of their ethnicity and religious beliefs.

CAA sounds plausible by its name. Let’s hope the EHRC carries out due diligence on the group, though, before going any further. 

To get a flavour of what CAA is about, the EHRC may wish to investigate CAA’s petition launched last August which started life as “Jeremy Corbyn is an anti-semite and must go.”
