During the Labour Party Conference there was meant to be a book launch at Waterstones in Brighton for the new book called “Bad News For Labour – Antisemitism, The Party and Public Belief”.

Most people would welcome the publication of a book on this issue, especially one written by five academics attempting to shine a light on this very important topic, unless of course you are one of the trolls targetting the Labour Party, especially Corbyn supporters.

There can be little doubt that many of the attacks come from people who do not want to debate this issue or for the truth to be told to the point that they are prepared to intimidate and bully staff working at a Waterstones bookstore in order to force the cancellation of a book launch. The five authors (including professors from major UK Universities) were forced to stage their book launch at a theatre near to Waterstone to ensure that these issues would be debated in this, our democracy.

People need to know what the organised troll group are doing. It’s the same old faces each time and the truth is starting to emerge but everyone needs to take an interest in how organised troll groups are trying to shut down debate by engaging in criminal activity.

The book launch included contributions from the five authors, Greg Philo, Mike Berry, Justin Schlosberg, Antony Lerman and David Miller.

The book is published by Pluto Press.
