Corbyn's Labour
How's this for a spectacular piece of self-denial in the modern Labour Party?
Corbyn fan David Vujanic apologises for his ugly racist and misogynistic behaviour with the following weasel words:
“Some old tweets have been unearthed and they’re absolutely vile. I want to apologise sincerely. My younger self was completely ignorant, unaware and stupid. These tweets do not represent my beliefs and views.”
So that's alright then - Mr Vujanic simply repudiates his 'younger self' and everything goes back to normal.
Except it doesn't because Corbyn's Labour has been hijacked by people who don't reflect the party's traditional views and values.
Read the following report from The Times and the original story which appeared on the Guido Fawkes web site.

David Vujanic had conducted an interview with Jeremy Corbyn - TWITTER
A YouTube star who interviewed Jeremy Corbyn as part of an anti-racism campaign sent tweets using the n-word and making light of the Holocaust, it emerged yesterday.
David Vujanic, 25, appeared alongside the Labour leader at an event hosted by Show Racism the Red Card, the anti-racism charity, and Copa90, a football website. A video and transcript of their encounter featured prominently on The Guardian website. Mr Corbyn called on football’s governing bodies to show “zero tolerance” to racism during the interview and said it had been “great to talk” to Mr Vujanic, who has 115,000 YouTube subscribers.
However, tweets sent by Mr Vujanic in 2012 and 2013 made jokes about the Holocaust and used racist language. In one he suggested that Hitler had been “playing the Jew Challenge game” and in another said “everyone would forget about the whole genocide thing” if the dictator “did a little Dougie”, which is a hip-hop dance move.
He also quoted other tweets which used the n-word and joked about interracial relationships. “I always see Black men with FATTT white women . . . Thanks lads. Taking one for the team!”
Mr Vujanic apologised after the Guido Fawkes website published the messages. The Guardian has removed his interview with Mr Corbyn “pending investigation”. A spokesman for the Labour leader condemned the posts and welcomed the apology. “David Vujanic’s old tweets were absolutely vile and he is right to apologise,” he said.
Mr Vujanic said: “Some old tweets have been unearthed and they’re absolutely vile. I want to apologise sincerely. My younger self was completely ignorant, unaware and stupid. These tweets do not represent my beliefs and views.”
