The fallout begins as Indy embraces antisemitism

Just as predicted the UK newswire is now awash with posts and comments focused on Jews. When the disgusting decision was made to allow Gilad Atzmon to post his view of world Jewery without any more control than a silly warning box I knew the end was in site for the Indy UK project and so it come to pass.
We now have fuckwits like Jordan Thornton in Canada spamming the newswire every evening with post after post of Jew focused information and despite the fact that the majority are either reposts and copies from other sites they are never hidden as they should be under the Editorial Guidelines.
We have anti semites like Mary Rizzo feeling they have a safe home at Indy UK and a free rein to push their filth and antisemitic writings with impunity safe in the knowledge that any objections or critical comments will be quickly classified as "disinformation" and hidden by their eager beaver friends in the admin group while others wring their hands and whine about being stopped by "the process" and "further discussion is needed" rather than confront the racists in their midsts.
Other Indy sites when faced with the same problem where able to quickly identify the obvious racism, block the posters of it and push away antisemitic nutcases to the places where they flock but not Indy UK, they needed to spend six months talking about and provide succer for those whose view of the world is dominated by Jews and what Jews are doing.
Indy UK should have learnt from the Atzmon episode, when he was confronted, when his antisemitism was made public, when his links to fools like David Duke were written large he sculked off pouting because he was no longer welcome with uncritical regard.
Instead Indy UK learnt nothing, it sat back and decided it was all a plot against it, it was being bullied and set upon by (yes you've guessed it) a Zionist Hasbara disinformation campaign and wrote a childish article blaming everybody else and refusing to confront the rotten apple in the Indy barrel and falling back on the old, old tired excuse of "process" and "collective decision making" as though that somehow excuses letting Jew hating antisemitic nutcases dominate the newswire, alienate decent commited admins and turn the site into a laughing stock all over the internet.
When I first started writing this piece I tried to think of the ways Indy UK could dig itself out of the mess but I can't think of any.
