A name from the past, Archie Hamilton.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... rds-debate
Conservative peer accused of using antisemitic tropes in Lords debate
Archie Hamilton said Jewish community in Britain ‘has an awful lot of money’ and should pay for proposed Holocaust memorial
Is there any pressure for him to be kicked out for this? There should be.

Some my best friends are Jews
The peer added that he had “plenty of Jewish blood, and I am a member of the Conservative Friends of Israel”.

This whole Trump / Ukraine rug pull has caused confusion in conservative ranks.
They'v not been so confused since Carrie Symonds announced her pregnancy.

The Johnson clip stands out as so pathetically wrong about Trump but predictable. Alleged Tory Party heavyweight brain Kwasi Kwarteng acknowledges Trump’s a prick but the globalist neoliberal decides to endorse Trump for his economics

My former MP when I lived in Epsom many years ago. Retired and replaced by Grayling. Now the seat is held by the Lib Dems. Hamilton used to visit the constituency about annually if we were unlucky. Not someone you could say was active locally.

Well, it's all dealt with apparently. Kemi's told him off and he's apologized. No anti-semitism training or anything by the sound of it. That's nice.
