    Open Letter to John Alcock, Leader of Brighton & Hove Labour Group –

    Brighton’s ‘Left’ Labour Councillors Endorse the Purge of Socialists by accepting False Anti-Semitism Allegations against 3 former Councillors


    In May 2019 Labour became the largest party on Brighton & Hove Council. It gained 20 seats to the Green’s 19 and ran the Council. The response of the right was to make false allegations of anti-Semitism resulting in the suspension of Kate Knight and Anne Pissaridou and an ‘investigation’ into Nicki Brennan.

    Kate resigned from Labour and Nicki Brennan soon followed. Instead of defending their colleagues Council leader Nancy Platts and now Labour Group leader John Alcock chose to side with the right. This whole affair was orchestrated by Peter Kyle, MP for Hove, ex-leader Daniel Yates and Fiona Sharpe of Sussex Friends of Israel, a group whose co-chair Simon Cobbs has demonstrated with the EDL.

    The result was that the Green Party became the largest group and took control of the Council. The allegations were part of the war against the left by Starmer, as detailed in Labour’s Leaked Report. The Forde Inquiry into that report has been put on ice after Starmer bought off those Labour officials who had spent their time undermining Corbyn.

    The result, after the Green Party won a byelection is that the Greens now have 20 seats to Labour’s 17 (or 16 depending on the position of Anne Pissaridou).

    None of the 3 councillors are anti-Semitic. Nicki was investigated for having participated in a picket of the Council in October 2018 when the Council decided to support the IHRA misdefinition of anti-Semitism. Kate was suspended for saying that anti-Semitism had been weaponised against the left and Anne for sharing a post referring to the Rothschilds and saying that it was an ‘interesting article’.

    The use of the IHRA to attack critics of Apartheid Israel and supporters of the Palestinians has even been condemned by the person who drafted it, Kenneth Stern, in testimony to Congress. He stated that ‘The definition was not drafted, and was never intended, as a tool to target or chill speech.’

    Strangely enough Rachel Reeves tweet praising Nancy Astor, a notorious supporter of Hitler and the Nazis didn't merit any disciplinary action by Starmer, who became angry when it was raised at Labour's NEC

    That is why a group of academics, supported by over hundreds of other, mainly Jewish academics, drew up the Jerusalem Declaration on Anti-Semitism. Unlike the IHRA, the JDA is about anti-Semitism not a defence of Israel or Zionism.

    Daniel Yates, right-wing former Labour and Council leader - a privatisation enthusiast who confines his anti-racism to 'antisemitism'

    Kate’s offence is denying that there ever was an anti-Semitism problem in the Labour Party, a point of view held by 70% of Labour members. They call it ‘denialism’. Free speech on the issue has been banned. Israeli ‘democracy’ has now been imported into the Labour Party. Racists like Daniel Yates and Peter Kyle, Hove’s MP, know very well that there is no substance to these allegations of anti-Semitism, hence they seek to ban any contrary narrative.

    Unfortunately Anne decided to confess. She is reported as saying:

    “I am deeply sorry for my actions and any distress I have caused to the Jewish community.

    It is well known that many victims of false allegations decide to confess. False confessions are a subset of criminology. In 1989 the Central Park 5, who were Black, confessed to the rape and murder of a white jogger. Trump took out adverts in the New York Times calling for their execution. In 2014 they were awarded $41 million compensation. They were wholly innocent.

    In the 1930s the victims of Stalin’s purges nearly all confessed, see the Innocence Project. You create a paradigm in which the existence of ‘anti-Semitism’ is accepted as the taken for granted norm and if you challenge it you are some kind of freak. Hence why Momentum and much of the left shies away from challenging Starmer. Crd....
