Description

The inside story of how accusations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party resulted in a Labour MP losing his seat. Containing explosive revelations of what really went on at the heart of the Labour Party during those turbulent years, this book considers what happens when false allegations turn into a political witch-hunt not too dissimilar to McCarthyism in the 1950s. Ably demonstrating that the facts were continually misreported by a media clique, and rarely challenged by supposed allies, Garratt’s words and simple, yet meticulous piecing together of events expose a shameful period in British political history; one which most people shut their eyes to or meekly surrendered and acquiesced when met with a dominant ‘truth’. ‘Chris Williamson was driven out of mainstream politics by an unprecedented campaign conducted by the media and amplified by many leading figures in the Labour Party; a campaign based on smears and lies. This book sets about telling the other side – the side of the truth. A must read’ Alexei Sayle ‘A clear account of what happened to Chris Williamson and the identifying of those responsible for this shameful episode in Labour politics. We have many lessons to learn if we are ever to have a party of the left which values truth and honesty. At present that is a distant prospect’ Ken Loach *This book contains undisclosed & private Labour Party suspension letters
