Well done Ken for standing firm, not bowing down and offering up a humiliating and groveling apology for merely stating an historical truth. Good on you!. Sadly this cannot be said of most British politicians today
I liked this video, because of Ken Livingstone who was talking sense the whole time, and really nobody seemed to understand the distinction between regretting having expressed the truth, and apologising in a way that makes it seem as if it wasn't the truth. KL has been a remarkable, honest, good man in shark infested waters and he shines.
+Marira 100% agree with you! KL has been doing everything by the book and it hurts me to see how no1 can understand what hes saying....which is the truth
"Seemed" is the keyword here. Their job is not to understand, but to keep the fake outrage alive in order to crush Corbyn and his supporters. They know Labour will take over by the next election and they can't have a genuine prime minister who's not in on the neocon policy.
I don't have any issue with Livingstones comments, however I think david Mellor is right, Ken walked right into it by opening his mouth about this and he should know better with his experience. If there was a moment when ken could use his weight it is now with Corbyn as leader of labour party and it has distracted the media conversation and given them ammunition to stick the knife into the party.
The tory MP David Mellor wanted KL to look into his eyes + repeat word for word a confession worded to get him. The slimeball Mellor's other duties are to interrupt Ken when a statement of more than 6 words are required or when Ken is pondering while answering another question.
+skepticaldemocrat If it is anti-Semitic. It isn't if it is accurate. If it is inaccurate and he said it believing that it is accurate, then he isn't anti-Semitic. It was a very poor debating point as it was based on a misinterpretation of what Shah said who he was defending. I think we can all agree that he is stupid, particularly politically which is strange considering how far he rose in his career.
I'll save anybody time who's thinking about watching this. This was a 30 minute barrage of two self-righteous toffs berating a man to say "sorry" for making a factually correct statement.
These toadies asked Ken to apologise 20 times, in doing so he would have by inference admitted doing wrong in the first case, which he had not, he simply related an historical fact, so there!!
I'm sorry for telling the truth....what is coming of this country, where someone can be persecuted for telling the truth. None of what he said was anti Semitic.
You don't get it. It's not about the truth or whatever he said. It's about the neocon wing of Labour circling in on Corbyn, removing the genuine people who supports him in order to implement their coup. The Blairists want the party they stole, back.
He didn't say the truth, he cherry picked facts to create a false narrative. Classic anti-semitic propaganda, his source for this notion is Lenni Brenner which Ken himself described as an anti-semite.
When the presenter said that the Jewish community are offended ?.... Who and what Jewish Community got offended ?? None. He just going on what the media has said. Ken your a top bloke. You don't have to apologize for anything.
I'd never usually defend Mr Livingstone or any other left wing socialist scum bag, but I respect and support him for not allowing those guys to bully him into making an apology for telling the truth
This is not journalism. This is sharks smelling blood. This is the perfect example of a non story. personally, I'm not sure why he used Hitler as an example. But it seems that whether it was an accurate statement is the least important thing here. These pricks who are trying to bully him, only care about getting an apology, because if he apologises they can say "ken Livingston apologises for anti semitic comments" It's so blatant and pandering, it makes me want to defend a politician. A massive press failing.
No fan of Livingstone and he should have had more savvy but what he said is factually correct and this goes to the heart of whats wrong with politics and media in my opinion and why Trump and Sanders are resonating is doing in the US, Its not a left or right issue, Its a political/media elite against the working class and we are sick of the lies, spin and political correctness.
+Gregor McNeill Lol who do think these "elite" are. They aren't lizards. They aren't illuminati or masons or all kinds of names people give them. They are the Jews.
Such a blatantly obvious witch hunt...the world needs more politicians like this man. Good to finally see someone who wont give in to such ridicolous bullying.
I was under the impression we fought a world war so freedom of speech could be maintained, especially when based on fact. As John Pilger has said, journalism is turning to shit in this country
Having spent many hours watching these videos and reading the comments it seems to me that 95% of people are siding with Ken.So why is it that the media are out for blood on this.We all know the answer to this dont't we!!!???
+traci beacer The Romans hated them, the Egyptians hated them, the Germans hated them... They have been hated through history you would think that they would have gotten the jist by now so they can change? But now they cry anti semitism?
traci beacer Of course you can't, quell surprise. What did you mean by "We all know the answer to this don't we!!!???" For the record (and I am not Jewish btw) I was referring to 95% are probably anti Jewish (which in my eyes is racism) and Ken has shared platforms with people who are quite disgusting individuals who have supported terrorism....got it!!
Seconded, Finkelstein's an honest and informed scholar on all issues regarding Judaism, Zionism and Israel. The shameful establishment have labeled him a self hating Jew and a crackpot though.
He had nothing to apologise for - History is History - have never been a fan of Ken but I back him on this. This reveals the really "grubby" side of the media and politics - nothing to do with Livingstone, a fool could see this is about Corbyn and trying to bring in a new leader - disgusting!
Those two are jerks and bullies. Political correctness needs to become a thing of the past. If people can't talk about history truthfully, nothing can ever improve.
It was Venessa Feltz who should be blamed for raising the question of Hitler in a set-up interview with Ken when she clearly was trying to lay a trap for him by doing so... She is the one who was not diplomatic!
"Are you sorry for bringing Hitler into this"... Uh it was the Daily Politics show which brought Hitler into it and Ken responded... what the hell is this guy going on about???
Relentless, repetitive interrogation by two sanctimonious bullies eager to play their part in this media storm in a teacup. I found myself getting bored with it about half way through.
What happened in the 1930s between the Zionists and the Nazis actually matters a lot. It's about ideology. They both shared the same ideology Of pure race and there was mutual admiration
I'm sorry that I was being bookended by a couple of disingenuous twats trying to squeeze an apology out of me not out of any shared sense of humility or compassion, but rather, for purely political reasons.
I agree with Ken Livingstone emphatically, we should have a full investigation into who is getting paid what amount and by whom for spreading this thilth.
i despise the personality type of these peasant presenters, the spineless type that encourage the flow of deception.. well done Ken, trust me you have a lot more supporters for speaking the truth not the opposite
He said he couldn't be anti-Semitic because he'd had two Jewish women. Livingstone has always belittled Nazism by comparing all sorts to Hitler - even Camden Council, and a journalist who was trying to ask him questions he compared to a concentration camp guard.
You aren't being 'anti-semitic' for stating a fact. That term doesn't really mean anything anyway. Semites are not all Jews. Semitic languages are a group of languages that originate in the middle eastern region. Arabic is one of them. Yes, the Arabs are semites and so are the Palestinians! The Jews just use the term 'anti-semitic' as a slur or label on anyone who dares critisise or question them or anyone they disagree with.
All this anti-semitic stuff has been blown out of all proportion - I blame John Mann who should be the one that should be kicked out of the Labour Party
Speaking the Truth surely cannot be Anti Semitic, Anti Semitic is Showing HATRED for Jews, Islamaphobia is showing HATRED for Muslims which is what Zak Goldsmith a Jew did against Siddiq Khan, I Wonder if the Conservative party shall suspend Zak Goldsmith for his Islamaphobia?
+mike r Grow up. Jew isn't an insult. The Jewish people I know use it as do Jewish newspapers. Are people that determined to take offence where none is given or are you being sarcastic.
Was Israel founded on Race,on Racism or Jewish Religion.Human Rights Watch, B'TSALEM, Amnesty International all have declared that Exclusive Chosen Jewish State of Israel is an Apartheid JEWISH State.
What a pantomime performance by the two bullies attacking Livingstone. I've not voted Labour or Livingstone a day in my life, but cajoling him to apologise for using facts in an argument is nothing short of disgusting.

The agreement was finalized after three months of talks by the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the directive of the Jewish Agency) and the economic authorities of Nazi Germany. The agreement was designed to enable Jews fleeing anti-Semitic persecution under the new Hitler regime to transfer some portion of their assets to their refuge in British Mandatory Palestine. It provided some relief for Jews fleeing by allowing them to recover some of the possessions and assets they were forced to surrender before departing.[1] A portion of those possessions could be re-obtained by transferring them to Palestine as German export goods.[2][3] The agreement was controversial at the time, and was criticised by many Jewish leaders both within the Zionist movement (such as the Revisionist Zionist leader Vladimir Jabotinsky) and outside it.[4] For German Jews, the Agreement offered a way to leave an increasingly hostile environment in Nazi Germany; for the Yishuv, the new Jewish community in Palestine, it offered access to both immigrants and some economic support; and for the Nazis it was seen as a way of breaking the Anti-Nazi boycott of 1933, which had mass support among European Jews and was thought by the German state as a potential threat to a fragile German economy.[5][6] Contents [hide] 1 Hanotea company 2 The Transfer Agreement 3 See also 4 References 5 Further reading 6 External links
I am offended by what you said so I am giving you a chance to say sorry for it. Should you not say sorry because you hurt my feelings you should step down from any public positions you hold. Thank you. P.S: facts don't matter, my feelings are what's important so don't even try to use logic.
Support for you Ken from Australia. I lived in London when you were mayor. Big fan of yours. Shame your country is supporting Israel with the yankee doodles.
when youre in a hole, stop digging. should we start sifting thre, discarding those nuggets with TRUE written on them and only dig up the ones with ACCEPTABLE written large? if that is to be the measure of discourse, i ask, WHO decides what is acceptable? surely debate requires the fundamentals of fact and truth in order to facilitate dialogue, anything else is a silly facade
This 'discussion' is a good lesson for us all: see how sneaky and persistent bullies are. I think Ken is a deluded Lefty who has done his share of damage to our country, but good for him that he stands up to those slimy bullies. They wanted to break his spirit. They were pretending it was about 'moving on' - but really they were jealous of him and wanted to diminish him.
By comparison to David, Ken is pure. Ken is wrong about most things, but David is pure ick. Who's the other guy? He's a thug whoever he is. Anyway, it's good to see someone (Ken) not give in to bullying.
Well done Ken for standing firm, not bowing down and offering up a humiliating and groveling apology for merely stating an historical truth. Good on you!. Sadly this cannot be said of most British politicians today
Poor ken, one of the few honest politicians, you'll be missed!
Exactly it's like the people want fake Political leaders that feed them bullshit and don't speak their minds about anything.
I liked this video, because of Ken Livingstone who was talking sense the whole time, and really nobody seemed to understand the distinction between regretting having expressed the truth, and apologising in a way that makes it seem as if it wasn't the truth.

He was just being his slimy self. He knowingly misled.
Ken Livingstone should not apologize for telling the truth. How can the Jews be upset with his statement?
Imagine we can
I see their point. He is glib. I am not British but does this dude have a personality disorder?
"In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act".
+jimbob jim Then Red Ken is no revolutionary! :)

He was deceived like a moron.

It was a very poor debating point as it was based on a misinterpretation of what Shah said who he was defending.
I think we can all agree that he is stupid, particularly politically which is strange considering how far he rose in his career.

What a load of shit. Anyone reading the above statement please go check the facts yourselves. Everything Livingston said is factual history.
The only shocking thing about this interview isn't "anti semitism" but Crick bullying Ken here. Journalist acting like a school headmaster here.
When the presenter said that the Jewish community are offended ?.... Who and what Jewish Community got offended ?? None. He just going on what the media has said.
Ken your a top bloke. You don't have to apologize for anything.
Stand firm Ken. You're a hero to most Londoners. We need more people like you and George Galloway the rest just play a role.
Seems to me that those attacking Ken are doing all they can to whip up their own agenda here....
Well done Ken for defending yourself and standing up for the truth.
I'd never usually defend Mr Livingstone or any other left wing socialist scum bag, but I respect and support him for not allowing those guys to bully him into making an apology for telling the truth
What a strong man ken livingston is, i salute him on this issue
It started when John Mann conveniently had a film crew and confronted Ken by calling him a Nazi.

I admire KL, men of his word.
+Sumon Chowdhury Man*
wow how can someone who states a fact be asked to apologise. absolutely disgusting!
This is not journalism. This is sharks smelling blood.

It's so blatant and pandering, it makes me want to defend a politician.
A massive press failing.
what a man Ken is.love u Mr Livingston
Ken has been a truth-teller for a long time now-long may he continue
These presenters make me sick. No interest in the facts, they just want to get him to apologise.

what happened to freedom of speech???

well done ken, under fire of such strong pressure to deny history, you stood and were counted as a proponent of truth.
One of the best British politicians has to deal with this slander
At no point was any of the facts dismissed. The argument is literally because he told the truth.
I agree, we have no free speech here anymore. They can't get the police to arrest you so they howl you down to shut you up.
How poorly this comment has aged. That what you speak of is a tool used by the very people who pretend to be left wing.
He had nothing to apologise for - History is History - have never been a fan of Ken but I back him on this. This reveals the really "grubby" side of the media and politics - nothing to do with Livingstone, a fool could see this is about Corbyn and trying to bring in a new leader - disgusting!
Well done Ken. Some people just can't stand it when others speak the truth can they.
Ken is correct, it's called the Transfer Agreement.
What is wrong with these people? Ken is NOT SORRY. MOVE ON !
Never be sorry for speaking the truth
Those two are jerks and bullies. Political correctness needs to become a thing of the past. If people can't talk about history truthfully, nothing can ever improve.
It was Venessa Feltz who should be blamed for raising the question of Hitler in a set-up interview with Ken when she clearly was trying to lay a trap for him by doing so... She is the one who was not diplomatic!
This interview is terrible. Those guys need to do their fact checking first. Can't just pressure Ken for apologising him for telling the truth.
Ken, say the name of the deal so people can look it up - The 1933 Havara (Transfer) Agreement
why should he be sorry for speaking the truth. facts are facts....
+loweitini
He didn't say Hitler was a Zionist, he said Hitler supported the Zionist project. And he did.
He is absolutely correct .. nobody absolutely nobody should be slatered for telling the truth about historic events .. this is an outrage
Pre ww2 Britain was against sending Jews to Palestine. Why the flip?
He did apologise directly - "if anyone was upset by what I said, then I apologise for that" - this is the very first thing he said!
Ken is being vindicated so hard now that people are increasingly understanding Zionism for what it really is.
"Are you sorry for bringing Hitler into this"... Uh it was the Daily Politics show which brought Hitler into it and Ken responded... what the hell is this guy going on about???
Ken Livingstone for PM!!!!!!!!!
Relentless, repetitive interrogation by two sanctimonious bullies eager to play their part in this media storm in a teacup. I found myself getting bored with it about half way through.
tell em to get stuffed ken, they dont like the truth do they....you have nothing to apologise for .....
What happened in the 1930s between the Zionists and the Nazis actually matters a lot. It's about ideology. They both shared the same ideology Of pure race and there was mutual admiration
Yes, it was the Haavara Agreement signed in 1933.
Well done Ken all honest people including Jewish will always prefer and support the truth
I'm sorry that I was being bookended by a couple of disingenuous twats trying to squeeze an apology out of me not out of any shared sense of humility or compassion, but rather, for purely political reasons.
I agree with Ken Livingstone emphatically, we should have a full investigation into who is getting paid what amount and by whom for spreading this thilth.
Why should Ken bow to the right to avoid abuse? It's continued attack on the left.
Good on you Ken. Why should you have to defend yourself against these twats.
A couple of hysterics , telling KEN to calm their hysterics.
"KEN" laughable.
i despise the personality type of these peasant presenters, the spineless type that encourage the flow of deception.. well done Ken, trust me you have a lot more supporters for speaking the truth not the opposite
Ken did nothing wrong.
He said he couldn't be anti-Semitic because he'd had two Jewish women. Livingstone has always belittled Nazism by comparing all sorts to Hitler - even Camden Council, and a journalist who was trying to ask him questions he compared to a concentration camp guard.
Apologise for what exactly?.For making a factually correct historical statement!!
+Abdi Egal its not factually correct though.
+RobinHoodUKIP Please, explain how it's not correct.
Is it not?,please explain!

For shame, LBC
That tactic is normally occupied by the left. It's interesting to see a leftist attacked for using facts.
Are the presenters really so dense they can't see how manufactured this whole issue is?

The Haavara Agreement (Hebrew: הסכם העברה Translit.: heskem haavara Translated: "transfer agreement") was an agreement between Nazi Germany and Zionist German Jews signed on 25 August 1933. The agreement was finalized after three months of talks by the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the directive of the Jewish Agency) and the economic authorities of Nazi Germany.
The agreement was designed to enable Jews fleeing anti-Semitic persecution under the new Hitler regime to transfer some portion of their assets to their refuge in British Mandatory Palestine. It provided some relief for Jews fleeing by allowing them to recover some of the possessions and assets they were forced to surrender before departing.[1] A portion of those possessions could be re-obtained by transferring them to Palestine as German export goods.[2][3]
The agreement was controversial at the time, and was criticised by many Jewish leaders both within the Zionist movement (such as the Revisionist Zionist leader Vladimir Jabotinsky) and outside it.[4] For German Jews, the Agreement offered a way to leave an increasingly hostile environment in Nazi Germany; for the Yishuv, the new Jewish community in Palestine, it offered access to both immigrants and some economic support; and for the Nazis it was seen as a way of breaking the Anti-Nazi boycott of 1933, which had mass support among European Jews and was thought by the German state as a potential threat to a fragile German economy.[5][6]

When it comes to the truth, you have to push the boundaries. Otherwise stating “hate facts” will be a crime.
Ken was right. Read the book The Transfer Agreement by Edwin Black. Famous American Jewish author.
Ken Livingston has gone right up in my estimation.
History is what it is - God bless Ken Livingstone! - Super strong Ken!
You are not listening to Ken!
Good that he didn't apologise.
FFS get a grip. Ken is not AntiSemitic
I miss Saturday mornings. Used to love listening to Ken and Dave.
Ken you showed Consistency. Long live You Ken.
this is a disgrace, no journalism to be found here.
won't be wasting my time with this farcical show ever again.
The walls are crumbling.
What an appalling interview.
I am offended by what you said so I am giving you a chance to say sorry for it. Should you not say sorry because you hurt my feelings you should step down from any public positions you hold. Thank you.
P.S: facts don't matter, my feelings are what's important so don't even try to use logic.
good on you ken what a pair'
I despise livingstone but he's actually right here
Support for you Ken from Australia. I lived in London when you were mayor. Big fan of yours. Shame your country is supporting Israel with the yankee doodles.
What's all this sorry nonsense. Apologise for the truth!!! It's a good thing Ken stuck to his guns.
i love jews love israel and adore ken. Hes my spiritual dad. long may you live
when youre in a hole, stop digging. should we start sifting thre, discarding those nuggets with TRUE written on them and only dig up the ones with ACCEPTABLE written large? if that is to be the measure of discourse, i ask, WHO decides what is acceptable? surely debate requires the fundamentals of fact and truth in order to facilitate dialogue, anything else is a silly facade
Wtf! kens stating the facts.
Go Ken!!! You´re a star. How the establishment worries when BIG truths are spoken.
ken Livingstone never apologise for the truth
They are do worried of the truth coming out. Go Ken!
This guy "so it may be true but...."
the jewish roasting of ken!
This 'discussion' is a good lesson for us all: see how sneaky and persistent bullies are. I think Ken is a deluded Lefty who has done his share of damage to our country, but good for him that he stands up to those slimy bullies. They wanted to break his spirit. They were pretending it was about 'moving on' - but really they were jealous of him and wanted to diminish him.
Apologise for stating a fact! Defend our lies!
Disgusting how Ken has been Savaged and all for answering a question!
By comparison to David, Ken is pure. Ken is wrong about most things, but David is pure ick. Who's the other guy? He's a thug whoever he is.
Anyway, it's good to see someone (Ken) not give in to bullying.
Come on Adolf: will you say sorry for mentioning Livingstone?
