You have to remember that at the time of his comments the Labour Party, Corbyn and Abbott in particular were under the spotlight for anti Semitic views so a smokescreen was needed to avoid the hard questions. Along comes dear old Ken and he presents them with just that. It's also why he wasn't thrown out of the Labour Party because to do so would have drawn a line under the whole affair at a time when they needed to keep the story running. Whilst the press had the knives out for Ken the others were avoiding the spotlight.
What a load of made up nonsense that it ^^^
