The Riley/Oberman stuff is interesting. Their view is that they have been the victimes of an anti-semitic campaign by Corbyn supporters primarily because they're not fans of the magic grandpa.
Lawson's article about them makes some points about their conduct, some of may be fair, but the article, and his tweets on the matter, are often quite unpleasant and he is clearly determined to make a name for himself as a Corbyn foot soldier with any semblence of balance lost to the fog of war.
Here's the thing though. Some of the tweeters that Oberman and Riley are seeking action against have been responsible for genuinely anti-semitic nastiness in their time and yet, our man is still coming down 100% on their side and against the two women. In short, he doesn't care about the abuse they have received. Not one jot.
And, as an aside, following one of his interminable threads the other day, he said that he wasn't interested in self-publicity. So I counted how many times he had re-tweeted praise for his own comments during the previous 24 hours.
94.
