But Bibby, who is a member of Ellman’s local party, received only a formal warning, known as a “reminder of conduct”, and was not ordered to undertake any training on anti-Semitism.
Earlier this week, it emerged that just 12 Labour members had been expelled since last April for abuse linked to or driven by Jew hatred. Hundreds of cases were not progressed to full disciplinary hearings and many dealt with only by a ‘reminder of conduct’.
Ellman – who authorised HuffPost to publish the image to underscore how disgusting it was – raised the case during a heated meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) on Monday.
Fellow MPs were shocked by types of imagery and articles that were posted on the notorious American website, which is called ‘Incogman’.
The MP, who had complained last year to general secretary Jennie Formby about the lack of tough action when the incident was revealed by the Sunday . Times, pointed out that Bibby had never been suspended, nor apologised for her conduct.
HuffPost has been passed evidence that the activist approached the ‘Incogman’ website to explicitly ask permission to use the anti-Semitic imagery, which had accompanied an article titled ‘Bloodsucking Alien Parasites Killing America’.
