Polly Toynbee finds the lost plot

You've got to hand it to these free-thinking SWPers. I see the name Polly Toynbee and turn the page. Meaders is made of better stuff so now I know that Polly Toynbee said:

When Brian Coleman, the Tory London assembly chair, had the nerve to say Livingstone had an "unacceptable attitude to the Jewish community" because he allowed an article to appear about the Israeli occupation of Palestine, you know the plot is lost. And if the Standards Board doesn't dismiss this absurdity instantly, then its meddling in politics had better be ended. The Tory chair himself has talked of the "influx" of Somali asylum seekers, the "plague" of Irish travellers and an end to the Notting Hill carnival.

Glad I didn't miss that.
