Kenny CampbellHOST
It's not good.
Kenny CampbellHOST
I mean, on Friday, yeah, on Friday, Lord Mann, the government's independent advisor on anti-Semitism, he called for an Equality Human Rights Commission investigation.
Kenny CampbellHOST
You know, it's a request.
Kenny CampbellHOST
It's not a finding of unlawful conduct.
Ranjeet BrarGUEST
You have to do freedom of information requests.
Ranjeet BrarGUEST
They're very cagey about the whole process of adoption, but essentially it is being adopted, and there's a Mann review.
Ranjeet BrarGUEST
So Lord John Mann, another prominent Zionist friend of West Street and deeply connected to the Labour Party, who has conducted a review basically lamenting a rise of so-called anti-Semitism within the country, within the NHS, and saying it's important that we push this tool to the center of government's governance, sorry, and make it easier to strike off doctors at the GMC and to discipline people at work, even for, say, wearing a small Palestine pin.
Ranjeet BrarGUEST
If they were to wear this badge with Palestine flag, that would be an anti-Semitic act, according to Lord John Mann's review, they would use the IHRA definition to get these people disbarred from work.
Ranjeet BrarGUEST
So it's an extremely aggressive governance framework, essentially standing with Israel, standing with the wars, and prohibiting solidarity with Palestine.
Patrick HenningsenHOST
What's interesting is the original author of the IHRA definition in 2005, Ken Stern, has actually condemned the weaponization.
Ian McKennaNARRATOR
A member of the House of Lords had been branded pathetic after stealing a journalist's microphone and putting it in the bin.
Ian McKennaNARRATOR
Lord Mann was threatened with the police during a tense interview with journalist Owen Jones at Labour conference in Liverpool.
Ian McKennaNARRATOR
The pair had previously stolen Jones' microphone at last year's conference and was approached by the journalist asking whether he planned to do so again as Jones attempted to ask him about new sanctions on illegal Israel settlements.
Ian McKennaNARRATOR
Lord Mann could be seen to stuff the microphone into his pocket as he tried to change the topic to talk about his plans for an elected upper chamber in Westminster.
Ian McKennaNARRATOR
Jones repeatedly tried to ask for the piece of equipment back as the pair walked around the conference floor.
Ian McKennaNARRATOR
After asking a number of times for the microphone to be returned, Jones said, I don't want to get the police involved, but if you're going to insist on stealing my property, we're going to have to take this a bit further.
Ian McKennaNARRATOR
Do you want to go down that route? Lord Mann replied, OK, yeah.
Ian McKennaNARRATOR
Jones said, what? So I have to get security to get my property back? Do I need to do that? He added, it would be a bit embarrassing for a politician to have a police complaint about a stolen microphone, wouldn't it? After Lord Mann puts the microphone into a bin, Jones said, That is so pathetic.
Nadia SawalhaHOST
What do you think of that?
Mark AdderleyHOST
So Lord Mann, obviously a staunch supporter of the Zionist.
Mark AdderleyHOST
Aggression.
Mark AdderleyHOST
But that was pathetic.
Nadia SawalhaHOST
Really pathetic.
Nadia SawalhaHOST
So I don't really know much about John Mann.
Mark AdderleyHOST
Lord Mann, I don't know a great deal.
Mark AdderleyHOST
Well,
Owen JonesHOST
Brace yourselves.
Owen JonesHOST
Just as an example, if you saw our video last year in which the Labour Lord John Mann aggressively seized my microphone, you thought that was a bit shocking.
Owen JonesHOST
Wait until you see how he behaves this year.
Owen JonesHOST
Now, I want to give a thoughtful, nuanced take on what Ed Miliband has said and what the government is doing.

And this is for a decision that you and your ministers made.
