Chukka Umuna's revelation over the weekend was a bit of a bombshell.
Clearly he has leadership ambitions but saying that the Labour party are institutionally racist, is this not a step too far? Or is he right?

People need to grow up.We are tribal creatures. It's natural to prefer your extended family to those who are more distant. Intellectuals and salesmen/politicians love to lecture us about how we are evil to love some more than others while they themselves stir up hate against those who differ in dogmatic assertion from themselves.
Feels good!

Bbbbbut its ok for us to be racist and anti semitic, because we are acting for the many, and not the few Jews. This is what we meant all along. It was never about hating the rich and privileged, because we are equally rich and privileged within our own farmyard. We are representing the whole country, which as we know from the number of people reading The Daily Mail, the number of people voting UKIP, Brexit and supporting Tommy Robinson, Britain itself is institutionally racist. We are no longer New Labour, but the new Nazi party and we represent you......

Frank Field, Blair, Umuna - they're all right-wingers who've been trying to undermine Corbyn by any means available to them since he was first elected and are now suddenly re-born as being deeply concerned about perceived antisemitism. I'm not religious but I think that I'd be deeply offended if my religion was being cynically debased for petty political point-scoring.

I like the story about Chuka's Wiki entry, where 'someone' wrote that he was 'the British Obama' and it was traced to a computer at the law firm where he worked. I know Labour once made the mistake of electing someone as slimey as Blair as leader but I can't see it stomaching Chuka.
