    Oh, it was Simon Schama. Didn't quite catch the name. I've already sent this e-mail to Kim Hill

    Subject: UK Labour's "anti-semitism" is a lie and a slander both against Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party - your failure to challenge this is disappointing.


    Dear Kim

    I don’t know who you are interviewing (I didn’t hear the start of this interview and I can’t find his name on the web page) but very sadly you allowed him to get away totally unchallenged the slander of anti-semitism against Labour and Jeremy Corbyn. This is a recurring lie, ever more desperate and shrill, used by the enemies of Corbyn and Labour to slur him personally and the party he leads for cynical political ends; it’s a very effective propaganda, and works in exactly the same manner as the slurs against Julian Assange. The fact is there is not an anti-semitic bone in Corbyn’s body, and the levels of anti-semitism in Labour is no higher than in any other section of UK society - which is generally very low. What is sad is that this lie has been allowed to fester and remain unchallenged, such as applies to you this morning, and those that do are then shot down in the same manner. . Interesting that if there were a general election tomorrow, Labour would likely be voted into power. Which either means that large sections of the UK citizenry are themselves indeed seriously anti-semitic, or that rather more likely that much of the public can see through this lie. So which do you think it is, Kim?

    For further information please read these articles (three of many) in Media Lens in the UK.

Yet no-one in the media bothered to find out, or reveal, that Julian had been deprived of his shaving kit for three months, as part of the continuing psychological torture regime instituted against him.)

    The treatment of Corbyn, the Labour party and Assange by the media in the UK and overseas has been relentlessly appalling, because of their threat to the status quo and corporate and US interests - Kim, you should just know this, if you don’t, please remove your blinkers..

    Just to remind you Kim:

    "The best propaganda is that which, as it were, works invisibly, penetrates the whole of life without the public having any knowledge of the propagandistic initiative…...If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels 1897-1945

    Thanks for your time
