Interesting to note luciana berger speaking about anti-semitism on the left 10 years before she seems to suggest corbyn invented it (and not at all just to gratuitiously mention she was euan blair's girlfriend, oh no). https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1487989/Labour-should-have-fought-back-on-immigration-says-Euan-Blairs-girlfriend.html "...Bubbly and nervous, the strikingly beautiful postgraduate student spoke at breakneck speed, often failing to complete sentences as she tried to convey her feelings on the issue. She hit out passionately at the rise of "Left-wing anti-Semitism" and attacked the downgrading of prejudice against Jewish people to "second-class racism". ... Miss Berger, who is studying a masters in government, politics and policy at Birkbeck College, London, said that it had been "misguided" and "wrong" for Labour to portray Michael Howard as a flying pig and Fagin in posters. One wonders what Tony Blair will make of the criticism given that he has met Miss Berger several times. His 21-year-old son is said to have grown close to the postgraduate student after splitting up with his long-term girlfriend, Katie Sanders, last year. He and Miss Berger met at Bristol University, where he is studying ancient history, when she delivered an anti-racism lecture there. Speaking for the first time about the rumours, Miss Berger said: "In terms of the coverage over the last week, I don't want my resignation to have been in vain and I'm grateful for the fact that it has received this coverage because it needs it. So in that sense - in this instance - it has been positive." Pressed on whether she is Euan's girlfriend, she said: "I'm aware that the newspapers have referred to me as that." She hugged her arms around her waist and bit her lip. "I don't talk about my personal life. I don't want to muddy the waters of this story. It should not be relevant." Except, of course, that it is relevant. If she has access to Mr Blair she can make these problems known at the highest level, can she not? "Have I met Tony Blair? Er, I have seen Tony Blair at conferences." But what of the reports that she has been to Downing Street? " |
