Three Labour activists held for hate crimes against Jews: Police probe vile anti-Semitic dossier which party failed to hand over to officers

Labour faced further humiliation tonight after it emerged that three people have been arrested by police investigating allegations of anti-Semitism among party members. Two men and a woman were detained in the past three weeks on suspicion of publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred. They were released pending further inquiries.

The police probe was prompted by an internal Labour dossier detailing anti-Semitic social media messages allegedly posted by party members, which was obtained by LBC radio. Two of those arrested were Patricia Sheerin, 72, from Wandsworth, south London, and Roy Smart, 50, from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, it emerged last night. Both allegedly posted about the Holocaust on social media. LBC’s documents included details of 45 cases of alleged anti-Semitism, including one which read: ‘We shall rid the Jews who are a cancer on us all.’
