I have now taken down my tweet concerning @francesweetman. As I'm not an encyclopaedia, I had no idea about her serious illness, and certainly don't wish to add to her suffering in any way. I wish her a full and speedy recovery.

I appreciate that. Thanks Shaun. I do wonder why you felt the need to besmirch Frances in the first place. I thought Labour was a broad church. If people feel they can’t stay, that should be a clear warning about the direction of the party. And I believe Frances’ side.
I have no need to 'besmirch' anyone. Alan. Unfortunately, she besmirches more or less all of us practically all the time. You 'believe' someone who thinks Bernie Sanders is an antisemite? Really?

You just couldn’t let it lie, could you? An apology followed up with many “although”s is no apology.
-
You're right. An apology that goes "I'm sorry, but you..." is never an apology. And for reference, all politicians and commentators, neither is "I'm sorry you feel that way"
-
Given the circumstances, it was rather a handsome apology.
-
I certainly can't imagine many other people whose Holocaust-surviving gran's memory had been besmirched by someone she agreed with who'd have apologised to her. I realise the correspondents above, Alan hopefully excepted, couldn't care less about that though.
-
Ah, just adding to the apology now, I see!

You are still giving out mixed messages here

There are no mixed messages. 1) Please lay off Frances; she has a serious illness. 2) This doesn't mean she has carte blance to smear all sorts on here everyday. It's about us all behaving fairly and respectfully towards each other.

Ah, the old "I'm sorry, but..." line.

I hadn't heard her say that about Sanders. Was it on the internet?
