Council ordered to reinstate worker fired over comments about Zionism and Nazis

A widely-shared clip saw him tell an Enough is Enough protester that “the Zionist movement at that time collaborated” with the Nazis, sparking criticism from local MP Greg Hands.

Mr Keable, who is secretary of Labour Against the Witchhunt, had attended a nearby counter-demonstration organised by Jewish Voice for Labour.

The local authority accepted during a disciplinary process that the conversation related to the Haavara Agreement of 1933, according to a judgement handed down Tuesday.

“In this particular case, the Judge found that the claimant’s dismissal was not only procedurally unfair but also substantively unfair."

Further, the judge concluded that, “even if a fair procedure [had] been adopted, a fair dismissal would not have been possible. 

“There is no appeal against those conclusions,” the appeal tribunal concluded.

In a statement on the LAW website, Mr Keable's barrister David Renton said “This is the first time in nearly a decade that an appeal court has upheld an order that a worker should be reinstated. Hammersmith and Fulham should now do the right thing and let him have his old job back.”
