Jeremy Corbyn in 2002

Unearthed footage of a Jeremy Corbyn speech in London in 2006 provides a stunning response to attempts by media and the Establishment to portray Jeremy Corbyn as antisemitic.

The speech, delivered in Westminster’s Central Hall, addresses the way in which the UK Establishment and media have always pilloried immigrants and ethnic groups for discrimination and attack – often leading to physical attack.
