‘Unluckiest anti-racist’ Jeremy Corbyn condemns alleged neo-Nazi after selfie together

The antisemitic former leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, found himself photographed with a man reported to be a neo-Nazi over the weekend.

Hans Jørgen Lysglimt Johansen, a man said to have made several antisemitic remarks, captioned their photograph together: “Jeremy Corbyn, a good man speaking the truth.”

Mr Corbyn has since spoken out about the photo, tweeting: “I am approached for selfies on a daily basis from strangers. I had no idea who know who this individual was. Naturally, I condemn his abhorrent politics in the strongest possible terms.”

A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “The world’s unluckiest anti-racist has once again found himself in the company of people who have low opinions of Jews. While Jeremy Corbyn is right to have distanced himself from Hans Jørgen Lysglimt Johansen, he might pause to consider why an alleged neo-Nazi would be so delighted to meet the former Labour leader.

“Within the past few days, Roger Waters, who likens himself to Mr Corbyn, received the backing of former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, so it is only apt that Mr Corbyn has now received his own far-right endorsement as well.

“Even the far-right can see these people for what they are. Apparently the only people who can’t are themselves.”

Campaign Against Antisemitism has lodged a complaint against Jeremy Corbyn, holding him responsible for conduct that is prejudicial or grossly detrimental to the Labour Party, as the Leader during the period of the EHRC’s shameful findings. Given the serious detriment that this conduct has caused, we are seeking Mr Corbyn’s immediate resuspension and, if the complaint is upheld, we will be requesting his expulsion. On the day of the publication of the EHRC’s report, we also submitted a major complaint against Mr Corbyn and other sitting MPs. These complaints are yet to be acknowledged by the Party, and they must be investigated by an independent disciplinary process that the EHRC has demanded and Sir Keir has promised but has yet to introduce.

Roger Waters compared himself to Jeremy Corbyn during his Birmingham concert last week.

So it’s apt that in the past week, as former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke lent his support to Mr Waters, Hans Jørgen Lysglimt Johansen, a man reported to be a Norwegian neo-Nazi, has given… pic.twitter.com/yPUkTuyrXc
