Mann Condemns Antisemitic Email

John Mann MP, Chair of the All-Party Group Against Antisemitism tonight condemned as outrageous and disgusting an email from an anonymous sender to all MPs entitled “the Jews=blood sucker”.Coming from ‘Shis11’ the email referring to the role of British politicians in relation to the Gaza flotilla incident was followed by an anti-Semitic article attributed to a Jayne Gardener.

The All-Party Group asks that any other offensive emails be copied to us for collation and referal and that antisemitic incidents be referred to the Community Security Trust (CST).

John Mann MP said: “I will of course be referring this issue to the Parliamentary authorities and expect a police investigation into this email. There are strong feelings about Israel’s actions in Parliament and beyond, but antisemitism resulting from the situation cannot and should not be tolerated”
