Jenny Tonge Goes at last

It's been a long time coming, but it finally happened: the Liberal-Democrat Peer has resigned the whip. As far back as September 2008, she was making unacceptable comments about Jews and Israel: see this from Engage, quoting from even earlier nasty comments. The latest comments come from a meeting on 23 February at Middlesex University. The ever-brave Richard Millett filmed both her contribution and that of Ken O'Keefe, the latter comparing Jews to Nazis (yes, you did read that right, and at a British University).

You can find a short report from The Jewish Chronicle here.

This says it all. While Millett thinks the JC article is a bit heavy on the "neo-con", right wing angle, he 's pleased at the pick-up on his reporting of the meeting and of the outcome. Here is his response to the JC article and to the pressure from others. The two articles below this one at his blog contain all the actual reportage and the videos he took of the meeting.

They make for fascinating, if ugly, viewing.

More on the baroness by Nick Cohen. It's long and detailed and obviously doesn't cover the current disgrace of the Baroness, although I'm sure he will, very soon.
