I look forward to David Gauke being a former MP so that a real Conservative, someone who still believes that respecting democratic votes still matters, can be elected instead of him.

All MPs like Gauke, who seem to think that their opinions matter more than the thirty-three and a half million who voted in the 2016 referendum, should be prosecuted for "misconduct in a public office". Sadly though our political police would never bring a prosecution, however justified.

Cameron even had the nerve today to remind us to remember Churchill on VE Day. It's a good job that Churchill not Cameron was our leader in 1940 or we would have been overrun by the Nazis.

Osborne says that Brexit would mean that "mortgage costs would go up", presumably because interest rates would rise.

While that might worry the teenage scribblers in the Westminster bubble, the prudent would love savings rates to rise from their artificially low level.

House price inflation woud also stop dead, which would scare Osborne as one of his biggest stealth taxes is Inheritance Tax paid by those whose relatives die while owning a house in the South East.

You say you oppose apartheid in Israel. That's difficult as it doesn't exist with Arabs in the Parliament (Knesset), on the Supreme Court and in the Army. I don't remember any of these in South Africa in the 1970s when I was protesting in the UK against real apartheid.

What is significant is that if Ken used words like "nigger" about Black people, he would already have been booted out of the Labour Party yet Ken's prolonged anti-Semitism is just as offensive. If BAME folk say it's racist, then the Left believes them but if Jews say it's racist, the Left denies this. Double standards? Hypocrisy? Yes, on both counts.

When Jews in the Israeli LABOR Party call Livingstone an anti-Semite and Isaac Herzog (Israeli Labor Party leader) invites Corbyn to see the reality rather than the myth of Israel (something Corbyn has thus far refused) then you know what is anti-Semitism.

However it's taking far too long for such simple facts to register with the Labour leadership in the UK.

The key problem is that the CST reports that the majority of its anti-Semitic incidents are physical assaults while the majority of Tell Mama's incidents are on social media.

The reference to Andrew Gilligan's articles in the Sunday Telegraph fails to make this point and is typical of those Muslims who scream Islamophobia whenever anyone doesn't agree with their point of view.

Until Muslims condemn anti-Jewish incidents commited by fellow Muslims, those of us who are not Muslims will be unresponsive to their words on other subjects. Typically the silence at such times is deafening.

While those who appear to be Muslims still think it's acceptable to attack Jewish people in the street, they will never integrate in this country.
