The chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust has told The Westminster Hour that Jeremy Corbyn's apology over anti-Semitism in the Labour Party "might be too late". Reacting to the Labour leader's statement in which he recognised that anti-Semitism "has occurred in pockets within the Labour Party", Karen Pollock questioned why Mr Corbyn has not condemned incidents in the past. She told Carolyn Quinn: "When there were examples of Labour Party members saying 'Jews kill and kidnap their way around the world' or referring to the Holocaust Educational Trust as the 'Holocaust Indoctrination Programme' or 'Zionist fairy tales', was that not bad enough, was that not enough to make the leader of a Labour party say it's disgusting and this has to stop? I spend time with Jewish people who are concerned about this sort of rhetoric and our leaders shouldn't have to be put into a corner to say sorry and to say it has to stop."
