Dear David Isaac,
Your response to my complaint is unsatisfactory.
Your organisation has written:
"Having received a number of complaints regarding antisemitism in the Labour party, we believe the Labour Party may have unlawfully discriminated against people because of their ethnicity and religious beliefs.
Our concerns are sufficient for us to consider using our statutory enforcement powers.
As set out in our enforcement policy, we are now engaging with the Labour Party to give them an opportunity to respond."
I sent you statements made in blogs on the CST website by Mark Gardner the CST's Communications Director in which he uses highly discriminatory language - hate language - against certain of those in the Labour Party leadership who cause a "stench" and against ALL those who have "slithered" into the Labour Party since the election of Jeremy Corbyn as its leader (new Jewish members included, apparently).
In the 1st March 2019 blog John Mann MP finishes his speech by imploring those gathered, "to take the war to the antisemites."
I hadn't realised the state-funded CST charity had openly declared war on those it considered to be antisemitic.
I find it remarkable and somewhat hypocritical that the EHRC itself does not find that those blogs in question do not cause all of us in the wider community, "detriment" and "suffering" and that it is incapable of acting and using its statutory enforcement powers - as it has done in the case of the Labour Party - against the CST state-funded charity. A state-funded charity whose unelected leaders appear to be above the law and who are only too eager to endorse the dangerous rhetoric of politicians like John Mann.
Yours sincerely,
Steve Gilbert.
