(Jewish Group) British Politician Liked Post On 'Zionist Slave Masters,' Gets Elected Anyway

British Jews protested the election to Parliament of a candidate for the Labour party who “liked”a Facebook post saying Prime Minister Theresa May has a “Zionist Slave Masters agenda.”

Lisa Forbes on Thursday won a special election in the eastern English city of Peterborough, defeating a Brexit Party candidate and leaving the Conservative Party candidate far behind.

The Peterborough vote was held after the constituency’s former representative in the House of Common was jailed for lying over a speeding offense.

After Forbes was nominated the Labour candidate, it emerged that in April she had “liked” a post making the assertion about May. In 2014, she praised a post that repeated the conspiracy theory that the Mossad and CIA are behind the Islamic State terror group.

...from people wanting to keep the even more bigoted Brexit party out of the House of Commons. Sadly, the flaws of the Corbynite movement keep resurfacing.

This "flaw" as you put it is what led to the slaughter of 6 million Jews.
