Don’t know about Labour being infiltrated by so-called extremists and entryists – such as terminally ill grandmothers – but it’s the Tory Party I’m worried about.
Conservative Party membership has mysteriously increased by as much as 50,000 since Theresa May became leader – after a long period of decline.
This is being accredited to UKIP entryists – including some high profile people who have expressed extremist views such as Islamophobia (Malcolm Davis), have made sick jokes about Anne Frank (Alexandra Phillips), support holocaust and climate change denial (Przemek Skwirczynski) and openly support Donald Trump (Steven Stanbury)
Theresa May’s Tory Party is morphing into UKIP right in front of our eyes.
Well, almost …

Well I left the Conservatives for the Lib Dems immediately after Brexit and am glad that I got out before the Ukippers & other nutters started to climb aboard. You mention holicaust deniers. Such people are so obviously bonkers that they are hardly a threat – rather like flat earthers. Far more sinister is the antisemitism endemic in the Labour Party,

I find it hard to believe there is antisemitism in the Labour Party. One can be against the policies of Israel without being antisemitic.

There isn’t a particular problem with anti-semitism in Labour. The number of cases brought was miniscule and they were simply ramped up all at once to provoke a moral panic. That’s not say there aren’t anti-semitic views present in some of the membership (and sadly such views are far more prevalent in the public at large), just that it’s not “endemic” or “sinister”.

If you don’t believe that Labour has a growing problem with anti-semitisn read the following article by Jonathan Freedland in the Guardian

Read them both, so what? Two articles from newspapers that are openly anti Corbyn, and one of them gave Foster the coverage to call all Corbyn supporters ‘like the SA’. Now, as a left winger myself, I cannot think of a worse thing to be called. I am being equated with a member of a militia that persecuted Jews, communists, Gypsies – and Socialists. In other words I am accused as being like someone who persecuted people like me! But, until Corbyn raised the issue, and had he not nothing would have been done, the NEC was happy to let that go..
At the same time, this is the Labour party as a whole we are talking about here? No? Because it is the same Labour party that voted for two Jews, David and Ed Milliband as the only suitable candidates to lead the party, and one of them, Ed was leader for five years.
In fact, if you search Ed Milliband and ‘anti-Semitism’ it is the very people now accusing Labour of ‘anti-Semitism’ who themselves were accused of it while he was leader!
It has simply become a case, that as when Miliband himself pledged support for Palestinian political recognition, and was immediately attacked by high profile Jewish figures (who were careful NOT to accuse him of anti-Semitism), that any voice that rightly attacks the treatment of Palestinians by Israel, is leapt on by the press and Conservatives as ‘anti-Semetic’. Thus effectively stifling any debate over Tel Aviv’s racist policies.
Such as:-
“We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.” Israel Koenig, “The Koenig Memorandum” In more enlightened times (the 1970’s) the release of the memorandum horrified leaders and ordinary people around the World. Now it has been conveniently forgotten..
“We declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one centimeter of Eretz Israel… Force is all they do or ever will understand. We shall use the ultimate force until the Palestinians come crawling to us on all fours.” Rafael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces – Gad Becker, Yediot Ahronot 13 April 1983, New York Times 14 April 1983.
. “We have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live here as slaves.” Chairman Heilbrun of the Committee for the Re-election of General Shlomo Lahat, the mayor of Tel Aviv, October 1983
These are just some of the numerous, and utterly vile statements by Israeli leaders since as far back as the 19th Century.
But if you compare a state that views fellow human beings as ‘animals’; with other such states – your party is riddled with ‘anti-Semitism’…
Yeah, right

Labour Party Momentum supported Rhea Wolfson but it was a right wing Labour abusing his position who tried to stop her nomination – he failed she got voted in elsewhere. As for Henry Rumbold’s rather silly and propagandist slur please note, Freedland is hostile to any criticism of the apartheid state of Israel and the other article isn’t worth using as toilet paper.

Yes I’ve seen those articles Henry, but again you’re mistaking allegation (and in the Telegraph’s case, outright lies) for proof.
There were, iirc, barely 20 active cases brought of “anti-semitism in Labour” (mostly consisting of more or less dodgy Tweets), several of which were found to be bogus, in the period where it was under the most scrutiny. It has a membership of over 500,000 people. To call that evidence of a problem particular to Labour is just nuts and it’s actually a surprisingly tiny percentage of the fairly consistent half of Britons who admit to anti-semitic tendencies. I shudder to think what would crawl out of the Tory basket if similar scrutiny were applied.
As for that Telegraph article, are you kidding me? Do you actually think an article with an opening gambit of misrepresenting Corbyn as having said Isis and Israel are similar is a winning argument?

UKIP is and always has been just part of the Tories, with support for most of its policies right across the Tory party. It helps if you try to keep up with developments in politics over the last decade or so!
