No, I answer myself, but I could have guessed. I finish up the riposte from me to myself with a sneer. I count the number of Standard Time Zones between Ken Livingstone‘s main residence and my own: they number five. I feel relief.
Why am I telling you this? Because I just got this letter… And here it is, just for you.
Please take a clear stance against racism, whoever it comes from.
Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, at his weekly press conference 21
March 2006 made a classic racist jibe – telling two Londoners (the
Reuben brothers), who have lived in London since the 1950s when they
immigrated as teenagers, “if they’re not happy, perhaps they could
always go back to Iran and see if they do better under the Ayatollahs.”Incidentally, they are Jewish but not of Iranian origin. The context was
a disagreement over a property development in the east of London.Ken Livingstone’s defence, in assembly questions 22/3/6 was that he was
not aware the Reubens are Jewish – he thought they were Shias from Iran…
Your basic Jew, and your basic Jew-hating terrorist… Easy to get confused, hunh?
Any rate, go here to see what it’s about, and sign a petition.
