WELL, WELL, WELL, it’s amazing what crawls blinking to the surface when you turn over enough rocks, isn’t it, and I’m not talking about newts.

The ongoing anti-semitism row within Labour, whatever your views on the issue, is a serious matter and one which the party is swiftly moving to address.

It has already suspended Bradford MP Naz Shah and Ken Livingstone over the matter and the NEC will rule on their cases in due course.

In fact, it is difficult to see what more the party could have done in the circumstances, although predictably others were of a different opinion.

I refer, of course, to the unholy triumvirate of Cameron, Farage and Littlejohn, all of whom were quick to wade into the row over the last few days.

As unlikely champions of tolerance go, these three take some beating.

Cameron — who regards the poor as scum and frequently resorted to describing refugees and asylum-seekers as arriving in “swarms” and at least one of whose MPs has a well-documented penchant for nazi regalia — set the ball rolling, only for it to be picked up yesterday by the Ukip fuhrer.

Farage bizarrely claimed that Labour had a deliberate policy of anti-semitism to allow it to gain “all the Muslim votes in the country.”

He criticised Bradford West MP Shah for making “completely unacceptable” comments and said former London mayor Ken Livingstone’s statements were “astonishing.”

He then went on to say that Bradford was now divided by “sectarian” politics similar to those that “plagued” Northern Ireland.

This is, of course, complete rubbish. Still, when it comes to “sectarian politics,” Farage at least vaguely knows of what he speaks — his entire party is based on that exact premise.

Someone else who is no stranger to deliberately divisive and discriminatory comments is the Daily Heil’s hate-monger in chief Littlejohn, who summoned up all his resources of wit to brand the suspended Bradford MP “Nazi” Shah.

Do you see what he did there? That’s why he gets paid the big money.

To Littlejohn, the comments of Shah and Livingstone were “outrageous.”

Whereas presumably his own ill-informed remarks on Gypsies, gays and those of differing ethnic backgrounds, all of whom were persecuted under the nazis, are merely providing a public service.
