The above is a link to an archived version of an LBC article about a local branch of Reform posting a very obviously antisemitic cartoon image of Zack Polanski. For some reason itās since been deleted.
Using the search term āzack polanski reform brighton antisemitic postā didnāt turn up a single mainstream news source referencing this (besides a link to the now deleted article above). Weāre not just talking about how prominently the story may be featured on their websites, as far as I can tell they literally donāt exist.
I refuse to believe that this would be the case if it was an offical account of a left wing party posting this about a zionist. Imagine the headlines if this happened in the Corbyn era. Thereād be 5 Guardian opinion pieces within the space of a a day and itād be the main topic of discussion on Newsnight and all of the sensible dad politics podcasts. Hell, thatās what used to happen when nobody had even actually been antisemitic lol.
You might think, like I did for a second, āitās just a local issue, this wasnāt Reformās main account, it was just the Brighton and Hove account, you wouldnāt expect news outlets like the BBC to devote resources to writing a story about something like thisā, but then you realise that itās possible to find stories theyāve published that give updates on out of service lifts in your local area

The media in both the UK and US have been complicit in the rise of the far-right. Normalising what isnāt normal. The reason Farage is so popular is that the BBC felt the need to put him on our screens as some sort of far right-wing counterbalance in an attempt to show fairness, however, there isnāt a far-left equivalent. I canāt even think of any remotely famous far-left wingers let alone remember any that have made 100s of TV appearances.
Corbyn was just left-wing. His policies were popular with people like me who identify as centre-left. Owen Jones, just left-wing (he now votes the same way as me, for the Green Party).
Maybe Iāve forgotten someone but I still donāt think thereās a single far-left equivalent to the millionaire āman of the peopleā Hedge Fund capitalist Farage. That this example of far-right anti-antisemitism has been buried confirms my fears that the internet and the media continue to be complicit in the inevitable rise to power of a far-right leader in the UK like what has happened in the US.
Zionist media. They donāt understand that this is why they are so hated
