Ken Loach - who said that Labour should "kick out" MPs who protested against antisemitism - is a poor choice to judge a competition on anti-racism. We have now raised this with @SRTRC_England and have been told that the decision will be reconsidered at their next trustee meeting.

These are deeply reprehensible comments. It is a betrayal of the Jewish conscience to suggest placing any ethnic or religious group in to camps. Oren Hazan clearly needs an urgent and sharp lesson in Jewish history.
