Jeremy Corbyn to Speak at Antisemitism Rally. Presumably Not to Give Antisemitism Pointers.

Is this actually true or a trolling masterclass?
Jeremy Corbyn, who failed to tackle antisemitism during his time as leader of the Labour Party, will join a rally on Sunday to mark the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street.
On October 4 1936, hundreds of thousands of people blocked a planned march by Sir Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists through an area populated by many Jewish families.
Clashes broke out across the East End of London between police and protesters.

Cable Street ’21 convenor Robert Griffiths said: “Racism, including antisemitism, still blights many people’s lives today. We should take inspiration from the unity that won the Battle of Cable Street.”
Why Corbyn? Was Ken Livingstone not available?
I say also invite Linda Sarsour, an internationally renowned expert on antisemitism.
But you have to hand it to Jezza – he sure looks like he enjoys himself a good rally.
