The secretary of Jewish Voice For Labour has attempted to apologise for his "Jews in the gutter” speech at a Palestinian rally which was exposed by the JC, insisting: “I am not pleased with the language I used.”
Glyn Secker, who is said to be under official investigation by Labour over his remarks, issued his “apology” on the JVL website – even though the pro-Jeremy Corbyn group had initially attempted to suggest the JC’s report was false.
Mr Secker, a former member of the Socialist Workers Party, wrote: “At the rally, which highlighted the deaths and injuries suffered by Gazans demonstrating for their freedom, I allowed my outrage to dictate my expression and I am not pleased with the language I used.
“I was referring to the small number of Jews who disgrace our communities by working with neo-fascist groups, and I was criticising those Jews in leading positions who fail to call them out. I was not referring of course to Jews in general, and I regret, and I am sorry, that my language allowed of this interpretation.
