Corbyn sorry for 'pain' over Labour anti-Semitism

Source: BBC

Jeremy Corbyn has said he is "sincerely sorry" for the pain caused by "pockets of anti-Semitism" in the Labour party.

In a statement, the Labour leader said he would be meeting representatives of the Jewish community this week to "rebuild" confidence in his party.

The comments came after Mr Corbyn was criticised for sending an apparently supportive message to the creator of an allegedly anti-Semitic mural in 2012.

Labour has veered wildly from ineffective "centrist" politics to an increasingly sectarian and inward looking version of left wing politics. Under Corbyn Labour is more concerned with finding heretics than winning converts.
